HOOK-UP GUIDE – STANDALONE APPLICATIONS
Outlet Box Installation
For existing construction environments, you will need to cut a hole in your wall to first install the two gang outlet box
that will go behind your Monster In-Wall PowerCenter. Monster strongly recommends you enlist the help of a licensed
electrician, or someone experienced with home electrical wiring and custom installation.
If you are installing the Monster In-Wall PowerCenter into new home construction environments, the two gang outlet
box should already be in place and the line and ground wires already threaded through, ready for connection. In this
scenario, please proceed to the surge module installation section of these instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Be sure to turn off the particular circuit branch that provides power to the wires you are accessing from the main breaker panel.
A) Use a stud finder (available at your local hardware store) to locate the wall studs near the location where
you wish to install your In-Wall PowerCenter (close to or behind the display device). To ensure wire accessibility,
your location should also be vertically aligned with an existing power source (wall outlet, etc.). Mark the ideal
hole location with dimensions 4” x 3 ¾” in between the wall studs. Drill a small hole in the center, and feed
one end of a coat hanger or fish wire through the hole to check for obstructions. If nothing is detected, carefully
cut out the hole with a handsaw.
