AT&T 518-600-016 manual Mounting surface Hardware required

WALL ATTACHMENT REQUIREMENTS

The customer should have a backboard mounted at the control unit site. If one is not in place, you may need to attach a backboard to the wall. The backboard should meet these specifications:

●It should be made of 3/4-inch thick plywood.

●It should be 4 feet wide by 2 feet high in order to accommodate a basic control unit with an expansion carrier and jack field. If ample wall space is available, use a backboard that is 4 feet by 4 feet, regardless of the system’s size. This size provides enough space for future expansion.

●It should be attached to the wall with hardware that has a combined pull-out force of at least 500 pounds.

Determine the type of mounting surface on which the board is to be mounted, and refer to Table 2-1 for recommended hardware.
