WP CTL D Installation Guide
The Extron WP CTL D is a Decora style 1-gang wall plate which passes RS-232 control signals
from a computer or control system, and IR signals from an IR source.
Install it directly into the wall using a mud ring, or in a 1-gang junction box (not supplied),
following the steps below.
1. Using a mud ring or a junction box as a guide, mark the holes and cut out the
material within the marked area.

If installing a junction box, allow enough depth for
the wall plate and cables.
