the mounting plate against the ceiling with the
side marked “THIS SIDE DOWN” facing you. Using
a pencil, mark the two outer holes.

3. With the markings you have made, drill two

7/16 inch holes all the way through the dry wall.

4. Insert the two bolts through the side labeled

“THIS SIDE DOWN.” Then, screw on the butterfly
anchors. IMPORTANT: ALLOW AT LEAST 1 inch
BETWEEN THE BUTTERFLY ANCHOR AND THE
MOUNTING PLATE. This will allow the butterfly
anchor’s wings to open when passed through the
drywall ceiling.

5. Insert screws through ceiling with butterfly

anchors folded.

6. Gently maintain a downward pressure on solar

system ceiling plate while screwing bolts
clockwise until plate is firmly snug and level
against ceiling. Do not over tighten.

7. Guide the three legs on the top of the hub into

the corresponding holes on the solar system
mounting plate.

8. Rotate the hub clockwise 30 degrees until you

feel it click into place.

9. The remote control works best with line of site
