Installing the Switch on a Wall
To mount the switch on a wall, complete the following steps:
1
Ensure that the mounting point meets the following requirements:
• The wall surface must be capable of supporting the switch.
• Allow at least 5.1 cm (2 inches) on each side for proper ventilation and 12.7 cm (5 inches)
at the back for power cable clearance.
• The location must not be located in direct sunlight.
• The location must not be within 2 feet of any heating vents, nor should any area heating
vent point toward the unit.
• The location must be ventilated to prevent heat buildup.
• Do not locate the switch where there may be data or electrical cabling located directly
behind the unit.
• The power cable must reach an outlet.

Use the supplied screws to attach a mounting bracket to each side of the switch (see
Figure 1-6).
