How to Install Da-Lite Key Operated, 110 Volt Switch

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained AV technician. Before starting, power must be turned off at the circuit breaker to ensure personal safety and prevent damage to electrical components. Review local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s installation instructions to confirm proper wiring, mounting, and secure enclosure of the switch in the wall. The flush-mounted design requires suitable wall boxes and appropriate clearances to ensure safe operation and long-term reliability.

• Plan the installation location: choose a wall area near the equipment you intend to control, ensuring there is adequate space behind the wall for the switch body, wiring, and any needed strain relief.
• Turn off power: switch off the circuit supplying the 115V line to avoid electrical shock or equipment damage during installation.
• Prepare the wall box: install a standard 1-gang electrical box or a compatible cut-out that accommodates the flush-mounted switch while meeting local code requirements for depth and mounting.
• Run wiring: connect the line (hot), load (to equipment), and ground conductors according to the switch’s wiring diagram, using approved connectors and strain relief as required by code and manufacturer instructions.
• Secure the device: mount the switch into the wall box, attach the cover plate, and verify that the key mechanism operates smoothly without binding. Restore power and test the control with the approved equipment to confirm proper function.
