When line and low voltage devices are required, the barrier (supplied) must be installed to isolate the compartments.
Barrier Positioning
When installing the mounting base on top of a
single
gang outlet box
, place the barrier in the slot aligned with
the side wall of the outlet box. The 1/3 compartment of
the MS box can be fed thru the opening in the base. The
2/3 compartment (8 Modules) of the MS box will be fed
from the outlet box. (See Fig A)

2) Select box location.
3) Determine and select the method to feed the MS box that best suits your needs
4) Position the barrier and install the base in accordance to the “cable feeding” method selected.
5) Pull the cables though the base opening at least 7” to facilitate the wiring related jobs.

Surface Mount Box
Step by Step
When conduits for both line and low voltage cables are required, an
“Old Work type Two gang outlet box” with barrier must be installed.
It must be installed flush with the surface. The barrier divides the
outlet box in two compartments. Select and attach the conduits to
the corresponding compartment.
Install the mounting base on top of the
Two gang outlet box
.
Important: Place the barrier of the MS box in the slot aligned with the
barrier of the outlet box, so that the two compartments are properly
separated and aligned with the MS box.
One compartment of the outlet box will feed the bigger compartment
(8 Modules) of the MS box, while the second compartment of the
outlet box will feed the smaller compartment (4 Modules) of the MS
box. (See Fig B)
