Installation

It is recommended that you cutout the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the installation drawings so that you can make any necessary cutout adjustments.

Before you begin, if you are using the 2-pin power connector, verify that the terminal end of the power cable is not connected to a power source.

Note: The device and conduit box must have an Earth ground.

If assembled, pull the Mio Modero DMS from the conduit box.

Rough-in Installation of the Conduit Box

1.Remove the tabs for the expansion clip installation from the conduit box by bending back and forth with pliers. See FIG. 1.

2.Use screws through the rough-in tabs to the stud. The conduit box is 3.5" (8.89 cm) deep. The front of the conduit box should be flush with the front surface of the sheetrock. While the conduit box can be recessed it should never stand proud to the surface.

3.Run 12V or CAT5/6 cable and an Earth ground wire into the conduit box. Locations to run power wiring into the conduit box are shown in FIG. 1.

Expansion Clip Installation of the Conduit Box

The expansion clip installation method can be used for podium or other flat surface installations.

1.Cut out the surface for the Mio Modero DMS conduit box using the dimensions shown in FIG. 2. A template is included to help you determine dimensions.

Notches are only required for expansion clip installations

2.Remove the tabs for the rough-in installation from the conduit box by bending back and forth with pliers. See FIG. 1.

3.Thread the CAT5/CAT6, the Earth ground wire and, if necessary, the power cables through one of the provided breakaway access points on the conduit box. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the unit.

4.Thread the 2 drywall screws through the 2 locations center on both top and bottom of the conduit box (FIG. 1) and then through the expansion clips.

5.Insert the conduit box and expansion clips into the cutout until the rim of the conduit box is flush against the wall.

6.Tighten the 2 drywall clip sets (screws and clips) until the conduit box is flush against the wall.

7.Insert the provided cardboard paint shield into the conduit box if the Mio Modero DMS will not be installed at this time.

Installing the Conduit Box without the Use of Tabs

A brick and mortar installation environment is a great example where no tabs are required.

1.Remove both the tabs for the rough-in installation and expansion clip installation from the conduit box by bending back and forth with pliers. See FIG. 1.

2.Thread the CAT5/CAT6, the Earth ground wire and, if necessary, the power cables through one of the provided breakaway access points on the conduit box. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the unit.

3.Insert the provided cardboard paint shield into the conduit box.

4.While conducting this installation, confirm nothing gets into the conduit box, i.e., mortar.
