Figure 2-6 — Attaching the wall box to a wall stud

If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) of the screw threads must penetrate the wood.

If attaching the wall box to metal studs or furniture, use four #8 or #10 self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine bolts with matching nuts.

7. Set the DIP switches and cable and test the interface before fastening the interface into the wall box. The switches and cables will be inaccessible after installation. See "Side Panel Features and Cabling", earlier in this chapter, for more information.

Mounting optional MAAP devices (CIA111 only)

The interface and any optional MAAPs must be cabled before the interface is installed in a wall or furniture. The hex screws needed to attach the MAAPs to the interface are provided with the MAAPs, so no additional screws are needed.

1. Before any cables are attached to the front of an MAAP device, secure the MAAP to the faceplate with the provided 3/32" hex screws (figure 2-7).
