Mounting the Switch
Step 1
Locate the screw template. The template is used to align the mounting screw holes.
Note
Figure 2-5
shows the measurements for the location of the screws on the switch.
Step 2
Position the screw template so that the two side-by-side slots face toward the floor, as shown in
Figure 2-6
.
For the best support of the switch and cables, make sure that you attach the switch securely to a wall stud
or to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard.
Step 3
Peel the adhesive strip off the bottom of the screw template.
Step 4
Attach the screw template to the wall.
Step 5
Use a 0.144-inch (3.7 mm) or a #27 drill bit to drill a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) hole in the three screw
template slots.
Step 6
Insert three screws in the slots on the screw template, and tighten until they touch the top of the
screw template.
Step 7
Remove the screw template from the wall.
