9.0 Installing the Digilite® DL500
The Digilite® DL500 may be surface or flush mounted on a vertical surface ( no extra bezel is required when
flush mounting ).
The Digilite® DL500 circuit board is fully enclosed within a sealed control PCB housing. The control PCB
housing must never be opened. If the Digilite® DL500 requires repair it must be sent back to the Protec
factory.
The batteries are fully accessible with the control PCB housing removed from the back-box.
The Digilite® DL500 must be located internally in an area that is not subject to dampness, extremes of
temperature or physical abuse. The environmental limits are given in section 12.0
