Network Room Module Technical Bulletin

Installing and Commissioning the 
Network Room Module 

Introduction 

The Network Room Module is designed to mount directly on a wall 
surface in the room you want to control. Separate kits are also available 
for wall surface mounting with conduits and recessed wall box mounting 
(see Ordering Codes). The wiring enters the module from the back. 

IMPORTANT:

  Use this Network Room Module only as an operating control. 

Where failure or malfunction of the NRM could lead to personal injury or property 
damage to the controlled equipment or other property, additional precautions 
must be designed into the control system. Incorporate and maintain other 
devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit controls, 
intended to warn of or protect against failure or malfunction of the NRM.
