Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or audio-visual contractor familiar with local building and electrical codes. De-energize all circuits in the work area before cutting into ceilings or walls and making wiring connections. Use appropriate hole-saw templates and follow the enclosure manufacturer guidelines for mounting clearance. In commercial applications, verify plenum rating requirements with local code authorities before installation.
