Before starting
Instead of using an adapter kit, we recommend that, wherever
possible, you entirely remove the old touch screen’s wall box,
repair the wall, then install the T3 In-Wall Touch Screen’s wall box
as designed.
Preparing for installation
Preparing the plastic wall box
1 Remove the old Mini Touch Screen/LCD Keypad and leave
the wall box in place in the wall.
2 Note the angle-shaped back box divider inside the box
(see below). You’ll need to cut a section out of this wall box
divider. Using a heavy knife or a handheld rotary cutting tool,
measure and mark 1 inch down from the front of the divider.
3 If necessary to accommodate the T3 power box, cut
vertically down so there’s a 1-inch cutout in the wall box
divider.
4 Remove the plastic piece you just cut out (see next photo).

5 Go to the “Installing the adapter kit” section for more
instructions.
Preparing the metal wall box
1 Remove the old Mini Touch Screen/LCD Keypad and leave
the wall box in place in the wall (see example below).

2 If necessary to accommodate the T3 power box, perform
steps 3-4. If not necessary, go to the “Installing the adapter
kit” section for more instructions.
3 Using a screwdriver, remove the screw that holds the back
box divider in place.
4 Remove the wall box divider. You’ll need this space to install
the T3 In-Wall Touch Screen power box. While you’re at it,
also remove the grounding screw from the wall box. You’ll
need this screw to move the grounding wire to your new
adapter plate.
Note: Attach the ground wire to the wall box in the
location indicated by the Ground symbol.
5 Go to the “Installing the adapter kit” section next for more
instructions.

Installing the adapter kit
To attach the back adapter plate and power box:
1 Insert the grounding screw into the back of the adapter plate
(metal model). Secure the grounding wire to the grounding
screw.
2 Place the back adapter plate on top of the wall box, then
attach it to the wall box using the two screws that were used
to hold the old touch ccreen in place.
3 Insert the screws in the opposite corners of the plate (see
photo below).

4 Follow the installation instructions in the T3 In-Wall Touch
Screen Installation Guide ( ctrl4.co/iw-ig ) to attach the AC
power or PoE connections to the power box. The use of AC
power or PoE depends on your installation requirements.
5 To attach the front adapter plate, go to “Attaching the front
adapter plate” in the next column.
Tip: If you mount the 7” touch screen with only the back
adapter plate in place, the wall box’s top and bottom
tabs may be visible. We recommend mounting a 10”
touch screen to help conceal the tabs. Alternatively, you
can mount the front adapter plate, which will conceal
the tabs at the cost of osetting the touch screen
further from the wall.
6 Insert the power box into the adapter plate, then use the
screws that came with the T3 In-Wall Touch Screen to secure
it in place.
Caution! Hand tighten the screws with very little torque.
Over-tightening the screws will drive the power box too
deep into the adapter plate and will either (1) break the
plastic tabs on the power box or (2) misalign the power
box such that the touch screen will not attach to the
power box correctly.
7 Attach the new T3 In-Wall Touch Screen to the power box.
Attaching the front adapter plate (optional)
Note: If you attach the front adapter plate, the wall box’s
top and bottom tabs will be concealed, but at the cost
of osetting the touch screen further from the wall.
To attach the front adapter plate:
1 Hold the front adapter plate over the back adapter plate.
2 Insert the power box into the adapter plate, then use the
screws that came with the T3 In-Wall Touch Screen to secure
it in place.
Caution! Hand tighten the screws with very little torque.
Over-tightening the screws will drive the power box too
deep into the adapter plate and will either (1) break the
plastic tabs on the power box or (2) misalign the power
box such that the touch screen will not attach to the
power box correctly.
3 Attach the new T3 In-Wall Touch Screen to the power box.
