3. Align the openings in the new MLM faceplate with the controller ’s buttons,
knob, and LEDs, then place the new faceplate on the MLC 226 IP.
4. Replace the four screws removed in step 1, and hand tighten them.
5. Install the MLC 226 IP controller with the MLM 226 faceplate in a wall or
furniture as appropriate.
If necessary, use the measurements given on the appropriate template in the
next section as guidelines for drawing the rectangle that you will cut out of
the installation surface to mount the controller with its faceplate. (Refer to
your MLC 226 IP user’s manual for detailed instructions on preparing the
mounting site.)

installing the MLM 226 faceplate with an attached MLC 226 IP.
CAUTION These templates are not to scale. Use the dimensions shown in the
templates as reference guidelines for measuring and drawing the rectangle
that will be cut out.
The MLC controller requires a depth of at least 2.0" (5.1 cm) inside the wall or
furniture.
