A licensed electrician should determine an installation location that is feasible, legal, and safe to run power and other cabling to. - Page 14 1) Install wall mount bracket. A rectangular hole should be cut out of the wall corresponding to the size of the bracket. It is easiest to trace the outer diameter of the bracket with a pencil for proper sizing. Pick a location where you know for certain that you can get power (inside the wall) to the N8.
