Installation
Installing on a Wall
To mount the switch on a wall:
1
Ensure that the mounting location meets the following requirements:
• The surface of the wall must be capable of supporting the switch.
• Allow at least 5.1 cm (2 inches) space on the sides for proper ventilation and 12.7 cm (5 inches)
at the back for power cable clearance.
• The location must not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• The location must be at least 2 feet away from any heating vents, and no area-heating vent should
point towards the unit.
• The location must be ventilated to prevent heat buildup.
• Do not locate the switch near any data or electrical cabling.
• The power cable must be able to reach an outlet.

Use the supplied screws to attach a mounting bracket to each side of the switch
(see the following figure).
