To install the Control4 T4 Series 8 Inch and 10 Inch In-Wall Touchscreen Power Box, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that you have a standard 2-gang wall box with a minimum depth of 42 mm (1.65") and a minimum internal volume of 410 cm3 (25 in3) that is certified by a NRTL and UL listed to QCMZ or QCIT category.
2. Determine the placement of the touchscreen. It should be mounted at eye level, typically near the entrance of the room, about 145 to 155 cm (57 to 61 inches) from the floor.
3. Cut an opening for the wall box, making sure not to cut it too large. Be conservative and cautiously enlarge it as needed.
4. Choose the power and network installation option that suits your needs:
a. Option 1: PoE power and Ethernet
- Install a PoE injector, such as the Control4 PoE Injector (model #AC-POE1-B), between the non-PoE switch and the touchscreen.
- Connect the PoE injector to an AC outlet using the power cord.
- Connect one of the LAN ports on the network switch to the PoE injector's LAN port using a Cat 5/6 Ethernet cable.
- Pull a cable from the PoE injector's PWR LAN-OUT port to the location where you want to install the touchscreen, then through one of the touchscreen's left-side wall box knockout holes.
b. Option 2: PoE power and Wi-Fi
- Install a PoE injector, such as the Control4 PoE Injector (model #AC-POE1-B), between the non-PoE switch and the touchscreen.
- Connect the PoE injector to an AC outlet using the power cord.
- Connect one of the LAN ports on the network switch to the PoE injector's LAN port using a Cat 5/6 Ethernet cable.
- Pull a cable from the PoE injector's PWR LAN-OUT port to the location where you want to install the touchscreen, then through one of the touchscreen's left-side wall box knockout holes.
c. Option 3: Wi-Fi with AC power
- Place the touchscreen above a power source, such as an outlet, within range of your Wi-Fi signal.
- Insert the AC power cable into the plastic power box.
- Connect the wires to the AC power source for the touchscreen according to national and local electrical codes.
- Pull the power cable through a right-side knockout hole of the wall box to the wire leads on the power box.
- Strip the black and white power wire ends to 6 mm (about 1/4").
- Use wire nuts to connect the AC power wiring to the two wired power leads from the power box.
- If using a plastic wall box with an exposed bare copper ground, wrap the ground in electrical tape or heat shrink tape/tubing. If using a metal wall box, attach the ground wire to the wall box.
5. Align and bend the wires to fit them inside the wall box.
6. Slide the power box into the wall box, then secure the power box to the wall box using the provided screws.
Note: Do not use an electric driver to tighten the screws. Overtightening can result in the power box becoming slightly warped, resulting in a poor electrical docking connection. Use only a hand screwdriver to tighten the screws.
7. Follow the touchscreen installation guide for further instructions on setting up and configuring the T4 touchscreen.
