Installation Instructions

Surface Mount (Configuration #1)

• 1. Locate the 4 pilot holes in the base assembly (CM-49B). 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-49B. If hardwiring the CM-49 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.
• 8. Line up part A over part B, and partially screw in the two #6-32 Allen-head screws included in kit. (Do not use the short screws provided with your switch.)
• 9. Place your 4 ½" 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 ¼" holes line up, and affix to the back of CM-49A. Alternatively, a channel in the perimeter allows caulking to rough surfaces.
• 2. Place the CM-49A 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.)
• 3. Place your 4 ½" switch over the two screws, install wiring connectors to switch, and centre in the opening.
• 4. Tighten the screws firmly using the Allen key provided with switch.

Mounting to 2-Gang or 4 x 4 in-wall boxes (Configurations #3 & 4)

• 1. If you wish to use the supplied weather gasket, punch out the centre perforated section first. Remove the backing paper, ensure the two ¼" holes line up, and affix to the back of CM-49A. Alternatively, a channel in the perimeter allows caulking to rough surfaces.
  • 2a. Double-gang Electrical box. Using the screws provided in Parts Bag 'C', screw the CM-49C adapter plate to electrical box. (Screws provided with switch are too short).
  • 2b. '4 x 4' Electrical box. Using the two #8-32 screws provided with electrical box, fasten CM-49C Adapter plate securely.
• 3. Place CM-49A over adapter plate, and screw the two supplied #6-32 Allen-head screws in by a few threads only.
• 4. Place your 4 ½" switch over the two screws, install wiring connectors to switch, and centre in the opening.
• 5. Tighten the screws firmly using the Allen key provided with switch.
