Chapter 7: Installing the Switch on a Wall
Installing a Plywood Base to the Wall
114
A plywood base is recommended when installing the switch on a wall that
has wooden studs. Refer to "Plywood Base for a Wall with Wooden Studs"
on page 113. Consult a qualified building contractor for installation
instructions for the plywood base. Refer to Figure 40. The installation
guidelines are listed here:
Use a stud finder to identify the middle of studs and hot electrical
wiring in the wall.
Attach the base to two wall studs with a minimum of four screws.
The selected wall location for the base must provide sufficient
space from other devices or walls so that you can access the front
and back panels, and for adequate air flow for ventilation.
