The Alpha Micro 100 can be mounted to a wall or to wall studs. The wall or studs should be able to hold a weight of
at least 22.7 kg (50 lb). Use appropriate tools to ensure that the Alpha Micro 100 is installed level to the floor 2 pole/
wall.
Using the Alpha Micro 100 case as a template, secure the case to the wall with the four Phillips-head wood screws
supplied with the unit. If mounting on a concrete wall use surface appropriate hardware.
