Flush Wall Mount
Mini controls can be flush in-wall mounted in new or existing construction applications. It is very important to read this guide in its
entirety before starting your installation.
Note: Each Mini model comes in its carton inserted into a surface mount angled back box. Remove the Mini from our back box. The 4
screws are M8 metric thread. These screws cannot be used in electrical boxes in N. America. Use the 4 x #6-32 SAE screws that
come in a bag with each Mini for installations in N. America.
It is extremely important that the Mini control is NOT powered on during the installation or removal process. The circuit board can short
out against the metallic box, damaging the hardware, and possibly the PoE switch.
For New Work Construction, a 4" x 4" electrical back box with a minimum depth of 2" and a mud ring (if used) with a depth of 1 ⁄2" for
proper clearance are required.
Note: If mud rings are used - they may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer and depth of the ring itself. It may be necessary to
modify the corners of the mud ring for proper fit. The corners on the mud ring as shown below right have a larger radius than the one on
the left and will need a bit of filing for the Mini wall controller to fit. (The Appleton 1 ⁄2" mud ring shown at the left below will fit without
modification)
Under very special situations the wall controller may have to be installed “Live” or in a powered on state. This is NOT recommended,
however, it is possible to insulate the left portion of the mud ring with a large piece of electrical tape. This will insulate it from the circuit
board while sliding the wall controller through the opening of the mud ring.
