INSTALLATION
The PAC525/526 is intended for use both in installations
where an existing finished drywall wall is present, and where
the wall surface has not been finished and the structural studs
are exposed. The wall then must be finished around the
opening of the box after the box has been installed.
PAC525/526 Project Planning
Identify a suitable wall location for the accessory.
Using a stud sensor, locate and mark studs.
Identify possible structural conflicts (electrical wiring,
plumbing, gaslines, HVAC).
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! CUTTING
OR DRILLING INTO ELECTRICAL WIRES OR CABLES
CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY!
ALWAYS make certain area behind mounting surfaces is
free of electrical wires and cables before cutting, drilling or
installing fasteners.
WARNING: EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD! CUTTING
OR DRILLING INTO GAS PLUMBING CAN CAUSE
DEATH OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS
make certain area behind mounting surfaces is free of gas,
water, waste or any other plumbing before cutting, drilling
or installing fasteners.
Determine installation type. Housing is designed to fit
between two adjacent wall studs, or onto a 1/2” minimum
thickness drywall surface.
Plan box and component needs.

PAC525/526 Box Preparation
10 Once wall opening is completed, check stud depth. If 3.5” or greater, proceed to step 11. If less than 3.5” deep, modify depth
of box as follows before proceeding: CAUTION: Injury may occur on sharp edges. Carefully discard the removable tabs.
A - Remove box flange by removing screws.
B - Snap off removable tabs
at perforations provided.
C - Reinstall box flange. Reattach screws.

Installation Instructions PAC525/526
Use four #6 screws (F)
and nuts (G) to assemble
the switch box from either
inside or outside the
PAC525 or PAC526.
Mark the four corners.
CAUTION:
Avoid sharp edges.
Remove knock-outs in box as predetermined in
step 5.
Loosely attach components and conduit (cut to length)
to box to ease fitting into wall opening.
8
Using preferred attachment method (zip ties, bands, etc. -
none included), secure AV components and cables within
the wall box. Attachment methods may use integrated
attachment points at back of wall box or other appropriate
points.
16
Install template as temporary cover if needed to protect
from debris by folding tabs in and inserting into opening.
17
Gather wires and route through cover opening. Install
cover, screw fasteners(2) into place to secure and
complete enclosure.
19
Secure box into
place by methods
chosen.
DRYWALL
ATTACHMENT:
Slide locking
