Chapter 2 Install the Standard Model InTouch
22
Step 1: Prepare the location
Determine the power source for your site
Before you start the installation, plan with your electrician (if required for the
power option that you choose) how the InTouch will connect to the power at your
site.
Choose from the following options and review the associated notes.
Power options
• Install over an AC outlet (recommended)—If you are replacing a Series 4000
device with the InTouch and are using the same location, you can use the
existing AC outlet, but you need to drill new holes.
If the installation is at a new location, you will need to install the AC outlet
(requires a licensed electrician) in the location that you mark on the wall with
the mounting template (described in “Mark insertion points for the base” on
page 24).
• Install near an AC outlet
– Select a location where the distance from the power cable hole at the
bottom of the InTouch is not more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the AC
outlet.
– Note: Installing the device near an AC outlet does not protect against the
AC power cord from being deliberately or inadvertently unplugged from
the outlet.
• Install using a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or PoE Plus cable—This power
option is limited to certain configurations only. See the table in “Optional
devices” on page 17.
Notes
• A licensed electrician must install the AC outlet and associated wiring before
you install the InTouch.
