Replace the Divider
NOTE: Class 1 and Class 2 wiring must be separated. Ensure that the correct divider is
used.
Replace the divider.
1. Remove the two screws that secure the divider in the enclosure. Discard the screws
and the divider.
2. Using the supplied screws and nuts, secure the new divider to the side of the
enclosure.
Mount and Wire the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE
Mount the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE in accordance with all national and local codes.
Use the two 8B x 1/4" screws, supplied, to attach the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE to an
enclosure. The rst illustration below shows the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE mounted in
a single-wide enclosure; the second illustration shows the double-wide enclosure.
