SVSi N8300 Series - Manual

N-TOUCH
Quick Start Guide
N8300 Series Wall Controllers
There are two types of installations for the N8300 series: Ring Adapter (when
mounting into an existing electrical box) and Flushmount (when mounting into an
SVSi-provided installation box).
Note: If desired, you can pre-configure the unit before physically installing it. To
do so, simply plug a PoE (Power over Ethernet) enabled Ethernet connection
into the back of the controller and skip to the section Configuring Your New Wall
Controller for further instructions.
Important: For ease of installation, only use bootless Ethernet cables when
installing the Controller into the wall. The flexibility is necessary for proper
positioning in the box’s small space.
