Connect the equipment

Sample connections

Failure to do so can damage the switch.

Attach the switch to a wall

To attach the switch to a wall, you need the wall-mount screws that are supplied with the switch.

To attach the switch to a wall:

Locate the two mount holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the switch. The two mounting holes must be 5.67 in. (144 mm) apart, center-to-center.
Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the supplied screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver. Leave about 0.125 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.
