INSTALLATION GUIDE:

Before installation, you will need to get a 3/8" wire clamp connector (also known as Romex Connector) and 3 wire connectors (also referred to as terminal connectors. Decide your wire gauge, and ask store attendant for assistance what color of connectors you should get) from your local hardware or electric supply or home improvement stores.

1. Turn off electricity in the house
2. Decide where to place this unit
3. Choose the side you want the cord exit to be and mark on the Knockouts coin
4. Gently punch off the Knockouts coin marked earlier with the back of a screw driver or other tool handy
5. Unscrew the Back Cover off the power strip with a philips screw driver
6. Take out the white plastic insulation sheet, then use the pair of scissors to cut a hole (about ¾" in diameter, or big enough for the wires to go through) on this plastic insulation sheet WHERE the wires will run through. (If you decide to use the bottom knockout on the back cover for wire connection, the hole should be in the middle of the sheet. Or, on the side.)
7. Put the 3/8" wire clamp connector you already have in place. The big ring screw inside the wall and the two screws outside the wall. Secure the installation of the clamp connector by tightening the big ring screw from inside the wall (please click here) with the pair of slip joint pliers
8. Run the wires through the wire clamp connector, from the outside into the power strip
9. Please remember to run through the wires through the white plastic insulation sheet
10. Match the color of the wires and secure the wire connection with proper wire connectors (different wire gauge use different colored wire connectors)
11. Tighten the two screws properly on the wire clamp connector
12. Place the plastic insulation sheet back in position in the power strip
13. Screw the Back Cover on
14. Mount the power strip where you want it to be:
    A) For power strips with mounting tabs on both ends: screw down the unit on the floor, wall or in your cabinet or on your rack, where you want it to be
    B) For power strips without mounting tabs, but to be mounted with clips, place the unit where you want it to be first, make marks where to install the clips, which normally should be placed about 6" away from each end, and then screw the clips down with screws provided. Then, snap the power strip in
15. Turn electricity back on, you are ready to go

Note:

* For installation purpose: The length of the power strip does not include the mounting tabs (approx. 0.624"/15.8mm on both ends, if available, please check the above spec chart); the width does not include the size of screws (min. 0.064"/1.6mm on each side); the height does not include the receptacles (about 0.208"/5.3mm above the surface of the strip).
