Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical installation unit (1) for a surface-type installation, comprising at least one module (2) for wireless data transmission, and further comprising a base plate (3), wherein the installation unit connects the module (2) directly to the base plate (3) in order to reduce the parts that are necessary and to simplify the design.

Claims

1-13. -13. (canceled)

14. An electrical installation unit for surface-type installation, comprising:

a base plate;

at least one module for wireless data transmission, said module being directly connected with the base plate; and

at least one cover frame arranged between the base plate and the module.

15. The electrical installation unit of claim 14, wherein the module is connected to the base plate in the absence of any further components.

16. The electrical installation unit of claim 14, wherein the module is directly connected to the base plate by a plug-in and/or snap-in connection.

17. The electrical installation unit of claim 14, wherein the module comprises at least one snap-in lug and/or snap-in rib to engage in a snap-lock seat of the base plate.

18. The electrical installation unit of claim 14, wherein the base plate comprises at least one snap-in lug and/or snap-in rib to engage in a snap-lock seat of the base plate.

19. The electrical installation unit of claim 14, wherein the base plate comprises at least one receiver for a connector for surface-type installation.

20. The electrical installation unit of claim 14, wherein the cover frame is held on the base plate directly by the module.

21. The electrical installation unit of claim 14, further comprising positioning elements arranged on the base plate for positioning the cover frame.

22. The electrical installation unit of claim 21, wherein the positioning elements are configured as stops.

23. The electrical installation unit of claim 14, wherein the module comprises at least one retainer to hold the cover frame on the base plate.

24. The electrical installation unit of claim 23, wherein the retainer is constructed to press the cover frame against the base plate.

25. The electrical installation unit of claim 23, wherein the retainer is configured as a resilient housing projection.

26. The electrical installation unit of claim 14, wherein the module comprises an actuating element.

27. The electrical installation unit of claim 26, wherein the actuator is configured as a pushbutton and/or switch.
