Installation

Installation

The MTP R 15HD RSA D receiver can be installed in a one-gang electrical wall box with a Decora wall plate cover (supplied).

The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the wall plate’s size requirements.

UL/safety requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the Decora receiver into a wall or furniture.

1.This unit must not be connected to a centralized DC power source or used beyond its rated voltage range.

2.This unit must be installed in a UL listed junction box.

3.This unit must be installed with conduit in accordance with National Electrical Code.

Preparing the site and installing the wall box

Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. The box should be at least 2.5" (6.4 cm) deep to accommodate the connectors and cables. Install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the wall plate.

NThe Decora unit is very deep and has a connector and a cable pigtail on the back side (figure 2-1 on page 2-3). Extron recommends its 1-gang or 2-gang junction boxes (part # 980130 or 980084), which have a depth of 2.5" (6.4 cm).

To install a new wall box, perform steps 1 through 9, below. If a suitable wall box is already installed, perform steps 6 through 9, starting on the next page. A UL Listed wall box is recommended.

1. If a wall box is not available to use for a template, use the dimensions on page A-7to create a template. If installing directly into furniture, cut out the center portion of your template.

NThe drawing on page A-7is not full size or to scale. Do not scale up or print to use as a template.

2. Place the wall box (or your template) against the installation surface, and mark the opening guidelines.

3. Cut out the material from the marked area.

4. Insert the wall box into the opening. The box or the wall plate’s rear connectors should fit easily into the opening. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.
