Installation Guidelines

58
Here are the guidelines to installing the switch on a wall:
 You can install the switch on a wooden or concrete wall.
 If you are installing the switch on a wall with wooden studs with the
standard brackets, you should use a plywood base to support the
device. For more information, refer to "Plywood Base for a Wall
with Wooden Studs" on page 61.
 You should not install the switch on a wall that has metal studs.
Metal studs may not be strong enough to safely support the
device.
 You should not install the switch only on sheetrock or similar
material. Sheetrock might not be strong enough to safely support
the device.

The device should be installed on a wall by a qualified building
contractor. Serious injury to yourself or others or damage to the
