Wiring to device

You can install the cables both on (surface-mounted) and under (flush-mounted) plaster.

  • If you install the cables under the plaster, then use the opening integrated in the base plate.
  • If you lay the cables on the plaster, then you must modify the housing.
  1. Power supply disconnected.
  1. Push the ribbed area laterally inwards and remove the housing cover.
  3. Check the required width of the housing opening. The height of the opening is approx. 7 mm. Each removed bar widens the opening by 4 mm.
  4. Select a location where you want to remove the bars.

  5. IMPORTANT

    Insufficient fit due to removed clips

    The housing cover is positioned and held by clips on the webs. If you saw off or break off these clips, the housing cover will no longer be held at this point.

    1. Do not remove any bars that have a clip over them.
    2. Do not damage clips during sawing.
  6. Use a suitable saw to saw through the bars at both ends of the desired opening to the base plate.
  7. Bend the bars back and forth at the desired opening until the bars break.
  1. The housing is designed to be mounted on a surface.
