[VonPeter]

Installing the SANUS SAL-IWP2 In-Wall Power and Strap Wall Plate requires careful attention to safety and procedure. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Safety First: Before you begin, switch off the circuit breaker that controls the power to the installation area. Verify that the power is off using a voltage tester. Remember to only use Copper or Copper Clad Wire; avoid Aluminum Wire. If any part of the process seems unclear, consult a qualified electrician.

2. Gather Your Tools: Ensure you have all the necessary tools at hand before starting the installation.

3. Prep the Wall: Decide where you want to place the wall plate, making sure it's located between wall studs. Then, carefully trace and cut an opening in the wall, sized for the wall plate. Run the necessary 14/2 w/GROUND cables for both power and any A/V cables through the wall.

4. Secure the Wall Plate: Insert the SANUS wall plate into the opening in the wall. Secure it in place using the lock tabs by turning the screws.

5. Assemble the Plate: Refer to the manufacturer's instructions included with your SANUS SAL-IWP2 to assemble the wall plate components properly.

6. Connect the Cables: Once the wall plate is securely mounted, connect the power and A/V cables to their respective terminals.

7. Final Checks: After all connections are made, switch the circuit breaker back on. Double-check all wiring to make sure everything is correctly connected.
