Smart Switch.
B. Choose a well-ventilated location where the ambient temperature is within -40° C to 50° C (-40° F
to 122° F), preferably out of direct sunlight.
C. Ensure that the mounting location can sustain the weight of the Enpower and mounting bracket
38.5 kg (85 lbs). The wall must include studs that can bear 38.5 kg (85 lbs) or can be of masonry
or other suitable structure that can bear the weight.
D. Plan the mounting location:
•
Indoors: at least 15cm (six inches) off the ground and 15cm (six inches) from the ceiling.
•
Outdoors: at least 91cm (three feet) off the ground.
E. Ensure that there are no pipes or electrical conductors where you plan to drill.
F. Plan to maintain at least 90cm (three feet) of clearance in front of the Enpower.
G. Consider the dimensions of the Enpower, easy access, unit height, conduit entry, and length of
cable when selecting the location.
H.
