4.1 Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply fuses
are removed or the circuit breaker turned off.
4.2 Remove the 2 fixing screws holding the front panel to the back box.

cable entry point by drilling into the back box ensuring not damage or
infringe on any of the internal components.
4.4 Mark the position of the mounting holes on the wall using the back
box as a template. Drill out the mounting holes taking care to avoid any
joists, electrical cables or water/gas pipes that may be hidden beneath
the surface. Insert the rawl plugs into the holes.

entry point(s) on the back box.
4.6 Fix the back box to the wall using the correct mounting screws for the
