Wall Box Installation
The Greengate Digital Switch is intended to fit into a single
gang wall box with a minimum internal depth of 2 inches
(51 mm). With the Greengate Digital Switch disassembled,
use the two supplied long screws to secure the rear chassis
plate to the wall box.
CANbus Connections
The Greengate Digital Switch uses CANbus connections to
ensure reliable and responsive transfer of control signals
between multiple devices.
CANbus devices must be installed in a “daisy-chain”
configuration. Avoid installing GDS stations in Star or T-tap
configurations.
Cable connections are made to a removable 5-way
connector block located at the rear of the Greengate Digital
Switch main body:

termination on the devices located at either end of the
chain.
