INSTALL SWITCH BOX
CAUTION: Ensure all electrical supply and gas (if applicable) is
OFF at the location of installation. The appliance must
be completely cool prior to any installation. Observe the
National Electric Code, the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA
54), and all local codes.
1. Determine the best location for the control with a minimum distance of 6
feet away from the appliance to be controlled. The location must be at a
distance that supplies sucient voltage between the GFCI circuit breaker
and the receptacle.
Note: The control(s) can be mounted recessed into the wall or externally on
a wall's stable surface. Consider the location of wall studs for mounting
or any obstructions when planning for installation.
2. For IN-WALL RECESSED installation: cut a clearance hole at the
selected control switch location in preparation to mount the switch box.
Proceed to step 3.
For SURFACE-MOUNT installation: proceed to step 3.
For RHP outdoor commercial control tower installation: follow
the instructions provided with your post; then proceed to the MAKE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS section below.
3. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the two screws and separate
the inner components from the switch box, leaving only the switch box
housing. See Fig. 3-1.
4. Use the provided brackets, if necessary, to securely mount the switch
