Keypad mounting for the MRC44 Keypad does not require a junction box. The MRC44 keypad can be mounted
on drywall, lath & plaster, button board or other surfaces covering a hollow wall. Follow these simple
procedures to install the provided MRC44 mounting bracket and keypad:
NOTE: Check local electrical codes. Some areas require a backbox in certain applications. For installations that
require a backbox, see Xantech Part# MRCBOX. The MRC44 keypad will not fit in a standard 2-gang box. The
Xantech MRCBOX must be used in applications that require a backbox.

place.
