Obtaining a catalog

You will need to obtain a manufacturer catalog from the manufacturer's website or on the 2020.net portal. The catalog files are compressed into a .zip file (e.g. Sample_F.zip). Some manufacturers will have their catalogs with the .exe extension - to install these catalogs, simply double-click on the file to begin the installation.

User-added image  Tip: It's a good idea to download all of your manufacturer catalogs to a specific folder on your computer, external hard drive, or network server. This will make it easy to find the catalog(s) during installation or when you may need them at a later date.
 

Installing a catalog (.zip extension)
