CM-79 Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions Surface Mount (Configuration #1)

  • 1. Locate the 4 pilot holes in the base assembly (CM-79B). They are not drilled all the way through so that you may drill your own holes to match existing layout or, site conditions. Drill 4 x 5/32" (minimum) holes through base. 2. Mark an "X" on the wall at the desired mounting height. Using a level, draw a vertical pencil line at least 5" above and below your "X".
  • 3. Hold the base assembly on the wall with the "X" visible though the centre hole, and the arrows pointing up. Line up the top & bottom leveling notches with the vertical pencil line. Mark the drilling locations with a pencil or centerpunch.
  • 4. Remove the base assembly and drill holes in wall. Insert the appropriate wall fasteners.
  • 5. If you wish to use the supplied weather gasket, remove the backing paper, and attach to rear of CM-79B. If hardwiring the CM-79 you will notice a perforated slot opening in the centre of the gasket to accommodate wiring. Alternatively, a channel in the perimeter allows a bead of caulking for mounting to rough surfaces.
  • 6. Fasten the base assembly to the wall with supplied screws.
  • 7. If using Radio controls, we have molded-in compartments to hold the transmitter and battery securely. Install transmitter, battery and pull switch wiring out full length.

  • #6-32 Allen-head screws included in kit. (Do not use the short screws provided with your switch.)
  • 9. Place your 6" switch over the two screws, install wiring connectors to switch, and centre in the opening.
  • 10. Tighten the screws firmly using the Allen key provided with switch.

Mounting to a Single-gang in-wall box (Configuration #2)

  • 1. If you wish to use the supplied weather gasket, punch out the centre perforated section first. Remove the backing paper, ensure the two W' holes line up, and affix to the back of CM-79A. Alternatively, a channel in the perimeter allows caulking to rough surfaces.
  • 2. Place the CM-79A over the electrical box, and screw in the two #6-32 Allen-head screws (included in kit) by a few threads only. (Do not use the short screws provided with switch.)

  • 1. If you wish to use the supplied weather gasket, punch out the centre perforated section first. Remove the backing paper, ensure the two W' holes line up, and affix to the back of CM-79A. Alternatively, a channel in the perimeter allows caulking to rough surfaces.
