• Mounting hole locations for the new UM7 enclosure released September 2021 (15k dwg)

  This DWG drawing shows the locations of the mounting holes on the bottom side of the UM7 enclosure. The holes are threaded for M1.4 screws, and we recommend screwing no more than 3 mm (0.12″) into the mounting holes.

  Note: this drawing is only applicable to UM7 units (product #2764) with the updated enclosure design that began shipping in September 2021.
