The AN2S module can be installed under the layout using the mounting hole provided. It is size for a number 6 sheet metal screw.
Make sure the fly fisherman can be easily removed. So you can change the software or service it.
Mount the figure
Unplug the power supply if plugged in. Plug in the power supply.
The AN2S control module will initialize and set the father platform to the “rest” position for 5 seconds. Immediately unplug the power supply so that is stays in the “rest” position.
