1. Prior to installing the Walker Raised Floor Box, an 8" x 6" [203mm
x 152mm] (+1/16" - 0") opening must be cut or formed in the raised
floor panel.
2. Carpet squares need to be laid in position if not pre-attached to
the panel, and an 8" x 6" [203mm x 152mm] opening needs to be
cut over the opening in the panel prior to pulling wires and cables
to the box.
3. The Walker Raised Floor Box will accept up to four power devices
or a combination of power and low voltage devices in its three
compartments. The power and low voltage configurations must
be determined.
Caution: Do not mix power and low voltage devices in the
same compartment.
4. Due to the unique structure of the box, all wires and cables can be
attached prior to attaching the unit to the raised floor panel and
while the floor is in place. Wire and cables are pulled under the
floor and brought out through the mounting hole.
5. Low voltage cables may be pulled through a bushing in one of the device plates, or may be attached to a device
that is mounted to the box or a device plate. The back cover must be attached behind a compartment used for low voltage
except in installations where the raised floor is not used as a plenum. Where required by local codes, connect conduit to the
back cover. Type CMP communications plenum cable is required in raised floor plenums when wiring methods as described
in NEC Article 300.22 are not followed.
