Power Inlet Faceplate Installation Instructions
4 in.
3 3/4 in.
STEP 1:
Select a location close to the head-end source equipment. Cut a 4-inch wide by 3 3/4-inch high hole
in the wall. Feed the In-Wall power cable (not included) and signal-wires (not included) through this
opening and route them to the location of the Power Outlet Faceplate.
NOTE:
For new construction (pre-wire): Use a Carlon new-work electrical box (Model B122A).
A Carlon low voltage add-on bracket (Model SCIOOSC) may be used with the new-work box to
indicate the location and size of the opening needed in the drywall. The low-voltage bracket
may be left in place when installing the Inlet faceplate.
STEP 2:
Run the AC wires through the lower-left entry of the included outlet box. No more than 1-inch
of wire sheath should extend into the outlet box. 3-inches of wire should be able to extend
beyond the opening of the outlet box. Install the outlet box into the right side of the hole.
STEP 3:
Slide the included shrink-wrap tubing over the ground wire
if it is un-insulated. Strip 3/4-inch of insulation off the AC wires
and attach them to the twist-lock connector screw terminals.
Make sure to attach the wires to the correct terminal:
• Green/Ground wire to Center terminal with Green screw
• White wire to Silver terminal
• Black wire to Copper terminal
STEP 4:
Remove the blank module interface cover and run the signal
cables through the opening. Keep the cover for use in STEP 6.
STEP 5:
Neatly fold the AC wires as you install the inlet faceplate into
the wall with the AC side fitting into the outlet box. Secure the
unit to the outlet box with the included screws.
NOTE:
Only the right side screws are used to mount the inlet faceplate into the included outlet box.
The left side screws are for appearance only and are held on with the included plastic washers.
All four screws are used when mounting the protector to a new-work electrical box and low voltage
add-on bracket.
STEP 6:
The blank cover comes with a rectangular rubber plug that has a series of circular score-marks
on the backside. Using these score-marks as a guide, cut holes in the plug to match the number
and size of signal-line cables. Run the cables through the holes in the plug and reinstall the plug/cover
combination into the opening of the base unit. Be sure to leave enough signal-line cable to reach the
source equipment.
Optional:
Signal-line protection modules (sold separately) may be used instead of the blank cover/rubber
plug combination. Connect the signal cables to the appropriate Max In-Wall module and slide the module
into the opening. The module can be installed to three different depths, from flush to full recess.
To remove the module, use the tool included with the module.
NOTE:
The module shown is for illustration purposes, and is not included with the MIW-PowerKit-TL.
A variety of modules are sold separately. This product must be used with the blank module cover
interface, or a signal line module installed. Do not use this product in a “Fire-Break” wall unless
a signal-line module is also installed.

CAUTION:
Not for use in “Fire-Break” walls unless used in conjunction with signal-line modules!
NOTE:
To make installation easier, first connect the
included jumpers to the Twistlock Receptacle,
then use the included wire nuts to connect the
jumpers to the building wire. 14 gauge wire is
flexible enough to omit the jumpers. Just strip
1/4” of insulation off the AC wires and attach to
the screw terminals as labeled on the receptacle.
NOTE: Only for use with 15 Amp branch
circuits utilizing 14 or 12 gauge wire.
