Type 2 plates require the mounting frame to be milled to fit. - Page 21 Mounting a DMS and KMS module in a double-width wall box is the most sensible arrangement from an installation viewpoint (fewer cable runs) but may not be practical in all rooms. NOTE: When installing a DMS and KMS together in a double width wall box, the only wiring required is a single link cable to join the two modules and a single cable to the Controller.
