Scenario 4: Top Wall Mounting

Context

Only the S5720-16X-PWH-LI-AC can be installed on the top wall.

Before drilling holes on a wall, make sure that no power cables are hidden in the wall.

Phillips screwdriver
Hammer drill (with φ8 drill bit)
Adjustable wrench
M6 expansion bolts (four for each switch)
