The Controlmini can be mounted to the wall both flush (flush-mounted box PNX- 018-A17-00023 ) and surface-mounted (surface-mounted frame PNX-018-A18-00041).

Controlmini, User manual Make a recess of H x W x D: 194 x 252 x 50 mm in the wall. Therefore, use the template provided. The flush-mounted box must later be flush with the wall. Depending on the cable position, press the circular plates at the top or bottom out of the box and insert the supplied self-sealing grommets to prevent damage to the cable.
Please pay attention to the polarity. 6.3.2 Using a power supply unit in the flush-mounted box Particularly, when replacing a foreign device with the Controlmini, a power supply is often already present in the flush-mounted box. This means that mains voltage and low voltage are in the same housing and if connected incorrectly, even parts that normally only carry low voltage unintentionally carry mains voltage.
