Physical Installation
This switch can be mounted on a desk, shelf, or wall.
Regardless of how you mount the switch, keep the following
in mind:
● Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
● The switch prefers a cool, dry environment. Don’t place
the switch in direct sunlight and ensure there are at least
two inches of space around the vents.
● Install the switch in an area free from strong
electromagnetic sources.
● Check the power cord to ensure it is fully secured to
both the switch and wall outlet.
Wall mount
Mount directly to the wall by screwing two pan head Phillips
wood screws 4.72” (12 cm) apart. Leave 3/16” (0.5 cm) of each
screw exposed. Slide the switch over the screws to secure it to
the wall. Can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
