Configurazione e installazione
The Hormann ESU 40 Key Switch is designed for surface mounting. It should be positioned adjacent to the garage door or gate for convenient access.

- Preparare la superficie di montaggio: The unit is surface-mounted. If installing into a wall, you may need to prepare a recess or ensure a flat surface for secure attachment. Note that this switch is not designed for standard flush-mounted electrical boxes and may require plastering in for a seamless finish.

- Collegare il cablaggio: Connect the two wires from the key switch cable to the appropriate terminals on your garage door opener's control unit. Typically, these connect to the terminals designated for an external wall button or impulse trigger. Refer to your garage door opener's manual for specific wiring diagrams.
- Mettere in sicurezza l'unità: Mount the key switch securely to the prepared surface. Ensure it is firmly attached to prevent movement during operation.
- Funzionalità di prova: Restore power to the garage door opener and test the key switch operation.
