Installation Guidelines

Tools and
Material
Here are the guidelines to installing the switch on a wall:
 You may install the switch on a wall that has wooden studs or on a
concrete wall.
 If you are installing the switch on a wall with wooden studs, use a
plywood base to support the switch. For more information, refer to
"Plywood Base for a Wall with Wooden Studs" on page 115. A
plywood base is not required for a concrete wall.

Do not install the switch on a wall that has metal studs. Metal studs
may not be strong enough to safely support the device.
 Do not install the switch on sheetrock or similar material. Sheetrock
is not strong enough to safely support the device.
Warning
The device is heavy. Always ask for assistance before moving or
lifting it to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
Warning
The device should be installed on a wall by a qualified building
contractor. Serious injury to yourself or others or damage to the
equipment may result if it is not properly fastened to the wall. 
