Installing the PA PowerStation

Once you have prepared the location for your PowerStation, you are ready to install the unit. To do so, you need to mount the PowerStation to your enclosure using screws and metal clamps in what is called a bracket assembly. The bracket assembly contains a mounting clamp with “feet” and a screw.

The number of clamps depends on the PA PowerStation model. The shape of the prongs at the bottom of each clamp also depends on the model. The 5”, 6”, and 8” models use a T-shape clamp, and the 10” and 15” models use an L-shape clamp.

The mounting clamps secure to the PowerStation using a sliding mechanism. You must slide the feet of the mounting clamp into the appropriate slot on the PowerStation.

For your convenience, all necessary mounting hardware is included with the unit.

Mounting the PA PowerStation

Complete the instructions below:

1Slide the PowerStation into the cutout from the front.

2Attach the 4-8 mounting clamps, with their screws to the back of the unit in the spaces provided.

The clamps secure to the unit using the sliding mechanism shown in Figure 2-1 for 5”, 6” and 8” units or Figure 2-2 for 10” and 15” units.
