Care should be taken in choosing a site for the WCU330, and always refer to the precautions in this guide. Bear in mind it is not always preferable to fit the WCU330 next to a light switch, particularly if the faceplates will differ.
Installation notes The WCU330 is fitted to the wall by fixing it into a standard UK 47mm depth single-gang back-box (pattress). All knock-outs in the back-box should be removed to provide maximum ventilation. Where it is desired to fit a mains lighting switch, etc. next to a keypad, a barrier-box or two single back-boxes must be used.

The WCU330 runs on 24V DC supplied through the connecting cable. As such there is no mains voltage present in the WCU330 and the unit is often safe to fit in areas where only extra low voltage (ELV) equipment is permitted. However, it is imperative that you always check the wiring regulations in force for your application and area.

WCU330-EU rear In this configuration the keypad is wired directly to the Opus DZM amplifier. It is not possible to switch sources using the hard buttons on the WCU330, but this can be achieved by using Opus remote controls. Commands received by the keypads can now be sent back to the source equipment via the Opus 500 System.
