Installing the LyncTouch
Mounting into a wall using a low-voltage mounting bracket or junction box
When installing into a wall, we recommend using an OPEN BACK Junction Box or Low-Voltage Mounting Ring.
It is important that the LyncTouch be able to slide easily into the available space. This means keeping the space
clear of debris and unnecessary cables and connectors. The cable(s) that connects to the back of the LyncTouch
needs to be able to move freely in and out of the space. If your junction box or mounting bracket includes a back
that is inhibiting the free movement of your cable(s), we recommend using a rotary (or similar) tool to cut out or
widen the opening through which the cable moves. Keep in mind that most building codes only require a closed
back junction box for low voltage items such as LyncTouch when they are installed into a wall where the adjoining
space is not conditioned, such as an attic or exterior wall.
Mounting into a Surface without a Junction Box or Low-Voltage Mounting Ring
LyncTouch can also be mounted directly into a at surface without the need for a junction box or low-voltage
mounting ring. This method is not recommended for dry-wall, but works well with hard surfaces like wood. For
this type of installation, HTD relies on the customer to determine what type of fastener (e.g. wood screw) will
work best with their surface.
Recommended Mounting Height
Unlike a light switch which is often positioned about four feet from the oor, LyncTouch is best mounted slightly
below eye level. This places LyncTouch in the most ergonomic position for the touch-screen display. Whenever
possible, avoid placing LyncTouch within the same stud space as electrical cables operating at high voltage in
order to mitigate the potential of adding electrical noise into your system.
