Before You Install the Switch...

When you choose a location for the Switch, observe the following guidelines:

•Make sure that the Switch will be accessible and that the cables can be easily connected.

•Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

•Position the Switch away from sources of water and moisture.

Placement Options

Before connecting cables to the Switch, first you will physically install the Switch.

There are two ways to place the Switch. The first way is to place it horizontally on a surface, so it sits on its four rubber feet. The second way is to mount it on a wall. The wall-mount option is described in further detail below.

Wall-Mount Option

The Switch has two wall-mount slots on its bottom panel. The distance between two adjacent slots is 2.36 inches (60 mm).

Before you begin, make sure you have two screws that are size #4—this indicates a diameter measurement of 0.112 inches (2.845 mm).

1.Determine where you want to mount the Switch.

2.Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure adjacent holes are 2.36 inches (60 mm) apart.

3.Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 0.2 inches (5 mm) of its head exposed.

4.Maneuver the Switch so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.

5.Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Switch down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.
