Installation
If you are installing the MS-1 into an existing wall, take time to consider any possible obstructions which may be hidden inside the wall, such as wood and metal studs; electrical, tele- phone or other types of wiring; plumbing; conduit; old wall safes; etc.
1.Determine a mounting location for the MS-1. Select a location where you will have access to the rear of the MS-1 after it is installed. This will allow you to securely tighten the MS-1 to the mounting surface using the supplied hardware.
2.Drill a 1/2" hole where the MS-1 will be mounted.
3.Run the MS-1's IR cable. Label the cable for future refer- ence. The MS-1 is supplied with 10' of pre-stripped IR cable. The IR cable may be shortened or lengthened as needed. If you want to make the MS-1's cable shorter, use a pair of wire cutters to cut the cable to the desired length. The IR cable may be lengthened by splicing it to a recommended IR cable (See Installation Considerations — Type of Cable). You may splice the MS-1 cable to another cable by soldering or crimp- ing the connections.
4.Connect the MS-1 cable to the Main System Unit. Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire. Tightly twist the end of each wire until there are no frayed ends. Insert the end of each wire into the appropriate hole on the Main System Unit's connector block; secure the wiring to the connector by tightening the small connector screws. Double-check all con- nections. See (Figure 2).
