Preparing the installation site and installing the wall box
Use the template as a guide to mark and cut the hole in the wall or furniture through which the interface will be installed. The innermost line represents the opening where material will be removed and the wall box will be installed.
1. | Cut out the center portion (up to the guidelines) of the |
| |
2. | Place the template on the surface where the interface |
| will be installed. Use a soft pencil to mark the |
| guidelines for the opening on the wall/furniture. |
Wall Stud
Wall Box
Screws or Nails
Flush with Wall Surface
3. | Cut out the material from the |
| jigsaw or small hand saw. |
4. | Check the opening size by inserting the wall box (if |
| used) or the interface (if no wall box is used) into the |
| opening. The wall box will be mounted flush with the |
| outer wall or furniture surface. The box and/or |
| interface should fit easily into the opening. |
5. | If needed, use a saw, file or sandpaper to enlarge the |
| hole. Smooth the edges of the opening to avoid |
| damage or injury to yourself or the cables during |
| installation. |
6. | Attach the wall box to the wall stud (2 x 4) with nails |
| or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the wall |

Attaching the wall box to wall studs

To attach the electrical wall box to metal, use four #8 or #10 sheet metal screws
7.Output cables will usually be out of sight inside a wall, for example. Feed the cables through the wall box
8.Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with heat shrink. Details for typical maximum coaxial cable bend inside a wall box are given on page
9.Configure, cable and test the interface before securing the interface to the wall box. Configuration consists of setting circuit board DIP switches and jumpers based on installation requirements. See page
