COUNTERTOP MOUNT:  To install the TS-1 you will need to drill six holes in your countertop: four thru-holes for wire passage (5/8” diameter spade bit, shown in red) and two mounting holes (1/8” drill bit, A and B) for the 3/4” screws that will hold the unit in place. A drilling template is included in the packing box.

Once the wiring is connected and everything is working properly (don’t forget to set the HI/LO gain switch) it’s time to fasten the TS-1 to the counter.

To do this you need to remove the unit’s two acrylic sideplates (each held in place by three philips head screws). You can then drive home screws through the A and B counter mounting holes in the bottom plate (sharp point 3/4 inch #8 sheetrock screws recommended).

Once anchored in place, close up the unit by replacing the sideplates.
