Mounting the MLC 52

Once the system has been cabled, configured, and tested, the MLC can be installed in the wall or furniture.

Mounting the MLC to an electrical box or mounting bracket

You can mount the MLC 52 in an electrical box or a mounting bracket, as follows:

1.	If you want to install a different faceplate, attach the MLC to the desired
	faceplate using the provided screws. (See “Replacing the faceplate,” earlier in
	this chapter.)
2.	Connect all cables to the MLC, and disconnect power at the source.
3.	Insert the MLC into the wall or furniture.
4.	Secure the MLC to the wall box or mounting bracket with the provided
	machine screws (as shown in the following illustrations), or attach it directly
	to the furniture with wood or metal screws.

If the MLC (and the IR Link, if applicable) is not mounted to a grounded metal wall box,

•Ground each faceplate directly to an earth ground, or

•Tie each faceplate to its circuit board and power supply via a ground pin on one of the connectors.

Do not tie a product’s faceplate to both a separate earth ground and the circuit ground (via a connector pin). If you tie a product to two different ground sources, you may introduce ground loops or other grounding-related problems into the system.

Wall opening is flush with

edge of box.
