Your power unit mounts to the wall using a mounting system.
The wall mounting bracket, provided with your power unit,
mounts to the wall. It has 4 fingers at the top and 4 others at
the bottom. The power unit has 4 upper openings and 4
lower openings which are designed to slide onto the fingers
of the wall mounting bracket. Be sure to follow the
instructions below for proper installation.
1. Locate power unit within six feet (1.82 m) of a grounded
electrical outlet. NuTone's models VX475 and VX550
Series require a 120V, individual 20-amp branch circuit
with a NEMA 5-20R receptacle. VX1000 Series require a
240 VAC, individual 20-amp branch circuit with a NEMA
6-20R receptacle.
