Installation Instructions for New Construction:

Simply use a new nail on box and follow all other instructions
described in the retrofit portion of the instruction sheet.

Installation Instructions for Retrofit Only:

1. Select the location of your flat panel TV mounting
bracket. Now select the location for both the 45-0021­WH Recessed Low Voltage Cable Plate with Recessed
Power and the Recessed Low Voltage Cable Plate with
Recessed Locking Inlet.

2. Both the Recessed Low Voltage Cable Plate with
Recessed Power and the Recessed Low Voltage Cable
Plate with Recessed Locking Inlet are designed to be
mounted between two studs (see Figure 1). Using the
template supplied (see back of instruction sheet), trace
the openings needed for both recessed cable plates.
Using a drywall knife cut a hole in the drywall the size of
the template.

3. Remember that the Pro-Power kit is not part of your
home’s electrical wiring system. Before installing the
single gang retrofit workboxes (see Figure 2), pull a
piece of 12/2 or 14/2 with ground UL approved building
wire from one opening to the other opening to connect
the recessed cable plate with recessed power to the
recessed cable plate with recessed locking inlet. Make
sure the piece of wire is long enough to allow for easy
installation of the receptacles. Insert a single gang
retrofit workbox (see Figure 2). Securely fasten the
workbox to the wall.

4. To connect the receptacle on the Recessed Cable Plate with
Recessed Power to the piece of 12/2 or 14/2 with ground UL
approved building wire that you pulled from one opening in the
drywall to the second opening in the drywall, strip off
approximately 3 inches of the outer jacket of the UL approved
building wire. Be careful not to cut the jacket of the inner wires.
Connect the hot line (black) wire to the brass colored terminal
screw and neutral (white) wire to the silver colored terminal
screw. Be sure to connect the bare grounding wire to the green
colored terminal screw (see Figure 3).

5. Once you have wired the Recessed Cable Plate with Recessed
Power receptacle, begin by inserting the receptacle portion of
the plate into the retrofit work box. Once the entire recessed
plate is flush to the wall, using the two white screws supplied,
screw the receptacle portion of the plate to the work box. Next,
screw down the screws with wings. The wings will fasten tightly
against the back of the drywall. Plug all necessary video and
audio cables through the opening on the Recessed Cable Plate
with Recessed Power and down the wall to the opening you cut
out for the Recessed Cable Plate with Recessed Locking Inlet.

6. To connect the Recessed Cable Plate with Locking Inlet to the
UL approved 12/2 or 14/2 building wire with ground, fully back
out the brass and silver terminal clamps. Insert building wire
conductors into the proper wire well. Insert the hot line (black)
wire into the wire well with the brass screw, insert the neutral line
(white) wire into the wire well with the silver screw. Once the
building wire is inserted into the proper wire well, tighten terminal
screws firmly to 10-12 in.-lbs. Then connect the grounding solid
copper wire to the green grounding screw located on the end of
the locking inlet (see Figure 4). Make sure the solid copper
grounding wire is securely fastened onto the green grounding
screw and properly grounded. Plug all necessary video and
audio cables through the opening on the Recessed Cable Plate
with Locking Inlet. Insert the locking inlet portion of the plate into
the retrofit work box. Once the entire recessed plate is flush to
the wall, using the two white screws supplied, screw the locking
inlet portion of the plate to the work box. Next, screw down the
screws with wings. The wings will fasten tightly against the back
