MLC 226 IP Series • Installation
PRELIMINARY
 Mounting the MLC to an    electrical box or mud ring
1.  With power disconnected at the source, insert the MLC into the wall or 
furniture.
2.  Mount the MLC to the wall box or mud ring mounting bracket with the 
provided machine screws (mounting screws, as shown in the following 
illustrations).
N
  If the MLC (and any accessories such as control modules or an IR Link) is not 
mounted to a grounded metal wall box, 
•   Ground each faceplate directly to an earth ground. Or...
•  Tie each faceplate to its circuit board and power supply via a ground pin on 
one of the connectors.
Do not tie a product’s faceplate to both a separate earth ground and the circuit 
ground (via a connector pin). If you tie a product to two different ground 
sources, you may introduce ground 
loops or other grounding-
related problems into the 
system.
N
  For the installation to 
meet UL requirements 
and to comply with 
 National Electrical Code 
(NEC), the MLC must 
be installed in a UL 
approved junction box. 
The end user or installer 
must furnish the junction 
box; it is not included 
with the MLC.
