ClareHome Structured Enclosure Extender Kit Installation Sheet
Description
The ClareHome Structured Enclosure Extender provides one
inch of additional depth and enhanced ventilation for Leviton
Structured Media Enclosure and Suttle SOHO Access
Enclosure panels (panels sold separately). Use the Extender
when installing the ClareHome Streams Integrated Multi-
Room Audio device (CS-iMR) in your enclosure panel for
added protection against heat build-up.
Available in 28- and 42-inch models (CH-EXT-28 and
CH-EXT-42), the Extender attaches between the enclosure
panel and the cover to form a frame that has four 1-inch
deep metal rails with louvers on the top and bottom rails.
The top rail also includes cutouts for both Z-Wave and Wi-Fi
antennas.
The kit includes the following:
•4 aluminum extender rails
•8 #6-32 ×5/16 in. thread forming screws, slot hex
•4 #8-32 ×2 in. screws (for Leviton enclosures)
•4 #6-32 ×2 in. screws (for Suttle enclosures)
WARNING: Hazard of electrical shock! NEVER install the
Extender without first shutting off all electrical power to the
enclosure. Exercise extreme caution to avoid physical
contact with bare connectors and terminals. Never ground a
device to the enclosure or Extender. If you are unfamiliar
with wiring in an enclosure, consult a qualified technician.
For more information, refer to specific product instruction
sheets.
