Mounting an electrical box
If you want to install the MLC 52 in an electrical box (in a wall or in furniture),
follow these steps:
1.
Refer to the appropriate template diagram (later in this manual) to find out
the dimensions of the opening required for the size of the wall box that you
are using. If you are using a mounting bracket with the wall box, refer to the
templates provided with the bracket.
2.
Using a ruler or tape measure and a soft pencil, draw guidelines on the
installation surface (wall or furniture) in the desired orientation and location
where the opening for the bracket or wall box will be cut.
CAUTION
The template diagrams in this guide are
not to scale
.
Do not trace
them or use them as patterns on the installation surface.
Use these
diagrams only for reference to obtain the dimensions of the hole that needs
to be cut. Use a ruler to measure and draw the cutting guidelines.
3.
Cut out the wall/furniture material inside the marked area.
4.
Check the opening size by inserting the wall box or mounting bracket into the
opening. The equipment should fit easily into the opening. Enlarge or
smooth the edges of the opening if needed.
5.
Feed cables through the wall box punch-out holes, and secure them with cable
clamps to provide strain relief.
6.
Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits.
Trim back and/or insulate shields with heat shrink.
To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point
where the cable exits the cable clamp. Both braided and foil shields should
be connected to an equipment ground at the other end of the cable.
7.
Insert the wall box into the opening, and attach it to the wall stud or furniture
with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall or
furniture surface. The illustration applies to all sizes of wall boxes.
