Installation
Electrical Requirements
It is the customer’s responsibility to observe all governing codes and
ordinances, and assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code:
• ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, or CSA Standards.
• C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and
• C22.2 No.0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances.
• Have an electrical network with a ground connection, with a three-
pin plug (2 poles and the ground) to be compatible with the cable of
the equipment.
• Check that the voltage selector is in the position corresponding to
the electrical provision.
• Electrical network power supply: 100–240 VAC~1.5A, 50/60 Hz.
Physical Requirements
• Mounting brackets are provided to facilitate mounting the
LC-8100 to a wall. A vertical mounting stand is used for mounting
the LC-8100 vertically on the countertop.
• The installer should ensure that the wall anchors used with the
mounting brackets have the capacity to support 5.5 kg (12 lb.). This
weight is determined by adding a safety margin weight to the weight
of the unit. Wall anchors with specied weight capacity are available
commercially.
• The power outlet socket is located near to the desired mounting
location for the LC-8100.

Installation
Push two mounting brackets out in the same as described in
horizontal mounting above.
Mount the LC-8100 with wood screws (2 pieces - 1/8” x 1” 1/2).
• The screws must be driven on the wall studs or use drywall anchors if
it is a dry wall.
• Use concrete wall anchors (2 pieces - 1/16” x 3/8”) if it is a concrete wall.
The LC-8100 is a fan less and ventless unit. Heat is dissipated through the
metal case. So, allow at least 6 inches of space from the top of the unit and
3 inches from the sides for proper ventilation. It is recommended to mount
the unit vertically to maximize ventilation eect. Vertical mounting stands are
available from Logic Controls.
Connections and Turning Power On
