Metreau Entry Communicators
Typical Installation (Without Expansion Clips)
FIG. 16 provides specifications for mounting the wall box without the use of expansion clips.
1.
Remove the tabs for the expansion clip installation from the wall box by bending back and forth
with pliers.
2.
Use screws through the rough-in tabs to the stud. The wall box is 1.81" (4.597 cm) deep. The front
of the wall box should be flush with the front surface of the sheetrock. While the wall box can be
recessed it should never stand proud to the surface.
3.
Run the Ethernet cable and an Earth ground wire into the wall box. Only use the keyholes indicated
in FIG. 17.
4.
Place the lug of the ground wire on the device and the Earth ground wire around the provided screw
and connect them both to the point shown in FIG. 17.
