Electrical Wall Boxes

___ When installing the SCP 100, adhere to all

country, state and local electrical codes.

___ Extron provides an electrical box with

each SCP 100. However, you may
choose a different box. Because of the
loose tolerances for electrical boxes, it
is recommended that you measure the
exact box that you plan to use before
making any precise cuts. Also refer to
the box dimensions (2.5” deep), and
not the SCP 100 dimensions.

Figure 1-2. The SCP 100 mounts in a standard electrical wall box.

Page 2-5 has a template that may be used for cutting a hole to
accommodate an SCP 100 and the electrical box.

Figure 1-3. A standard electrical wall box dimensions

Use screws, bolts or nails to install the electrical box, depending
upon the type and thickness of the material to which the box is
being attached. See examples in Figure 1-4.

• For wood, use four #8 to #10 wood or sheet metal screws. A

minimum of 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of screw threads must penetrate
the wood. If the wood material is a 2x4, such as a
wall stud, 10-penny or larger nails may be used.

• For attaching the electrical box to metal, use four

#8 to #10 sheet metal screws (self-tapping) or #8
to #10 machine bolts with matching nuts.

___ The electrical box must be deep enough to

accommodate the electronics within the SCP 100
unit, as well as the cable.
