The SmartBox can be mounted to masonry, wood, or sheet rock walls. It will come with mounting screws for each type. It is designed to be
mounted over a finished electrical receptacle box. The back plate of the box has a hole for access to the power receptacles and low voltage
wiring. Under no circumstances is high voltage wiring to be exposed inside the enclosure.
The SmartBox can mount on studs at 16" and 12" centers. The SmartBox can also be mounted to one center stud if no other options are
available. A backing board should be specified in new construction if studs are at 24" centers.
The location of the power receptacle will determine the height of the final box. We recommend that the finished receptacle be mounted at 46"
height. This will achieve the dimensions shown in Figure 2.
