Installation
The MTP U T A D transmitter can be installed in a two-gang
electrical wall box with a Decora wall plate cover (supplied).
The installation must conform to national and local electrical
codes and to the wall plate’s size requirements.
UL/safety requirements
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements
pertain to the installation of the Decora transmitter into a wall or
furniture.
1.
This unit must not be connected to a centralized DC power
source or used beyond its rated voltage range.
2.
This unit must be installed in a UL listed junction box.
3.
This unit must be installed with conduit in accordance
with National Electrical Code.
Preparing the site and installing the wall box
Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference.
Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. The
box should be at least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) deep to accommodate
the connectors and cables. Install the cables into the wall,
furniture, or conduits before installing the wall plate.
