Chapter 6: Installing the Switch on a Wall
126
Installation Guidelines
The following are guidelines for installing the switch on a wall:
Install the switch on a wall that has wooden studs or on a concrete
wall.
If you are installing the switch on a wall with wooden studs, use a
plywood base to support the switch. For more information, refer to
“Plywood Base for a Wall with Wooden Studs” on page 129. A
plywood base is not required for a concrete wall.
Do not install the switch on a wall that has metal studs. Metal studs
may not be strong enough to safely support the device.
Do not install the switch on sheetrock or similar material.
Sheetrock is not strong enough to safely support the device.
Warning
The device is heavy. Always ask for assistance before moving or
lifting it to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
Warning
The device should be installed on a wall by a qualified building
contractor. Serious injury to yourself or others or damage to the
equipment can result if it is not properly fastened to the wall. E105
