Installation
The MTP R 15HD RSA D receiver can be installed in a one-gang
electrical wall box with a Decora wall plate cover (supplied).
The installation must conform to national and local electrical
codes and to the wall plate’s size requirements.
UL/safety requirements
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements
pertain to the installation of the Decora receiver into a wall or
furniture.
1. This unit must not be connected to a centralized DC power
source or used beyond its rated voltage range.
2. This unit must be installed in a UL listed junction box.
3. This unit must be installed with conduit in accordance
with National Electrical Code.
Preparing the site and installing the wall box
Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference.
Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. The
box should be at least 2.5" (6.4 cm) deep to accommodate the
connectors and cables. Install the cables into the wall, furniture,
or conduits before installing the wall plate.

The Decora unit is very deep and has a connector and
a cable pigtail on the back side (figure 2-1 on page 2-3).

To install a new wall box, perform steps 1 through 9, below.
If a suitable wall box is already installed, perform steps 6
through 9, starting on the next page. A UL Listed wall box is
recommended.
1. If a wall box is not available to use for a template, use the
dimensions on page A-7 to create a template. If installing
directly into furniture, cut out the center portion of your
template.

The drawing on page A-7 is not full size or to scale. Do
not scale up or print to use as a template.
2. Place the wall box (or your template) against the
installation surface, and mark the opening guidelines.
3. Cut out the material from the marked area.
4. Insert the wall box into the opening. The box or the wall
plate’s rear connectors should t easily into the opening.
Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.
