Prepare to install the 524 Control
1. Separate the 524 Control from the Base Plate by applying pressure to the two tabs at the top of the 524 Control.
NOTE: It is not recommended that this Z-wave™ Control be mounted onto metal structures. Metal may adversely affect the radio
frequency (RF) communication between the Control and the Z-wave™ bridge.
2. Pull the wires through the hole in the center of the 524 Control base plate.
3. Mark the position of the two mounting holes on the wall using the 524 Control
Base Plate as a template.
4. Position the new wall plate over the existing opening.
5. Mark the two holes.
6. Use a level to verify that the two hole locations are level.
7. Correct hole locations as needed.

Prepare the mounting holes
1. Drill 1/16” pilot holes in the two locations that were marked in step 9. If mounting
to drywall with no studs behind it, enlarge pilot holes to 1/8” for anchors.
2. If using anchors, screw them into the holes.
