Installation and Operation

The DAV/DAS101CM modules can be attached to a CPM mini architectural adapter plate (MAAP) mounting frame and mounted in a wall or furniture using either a one-gang wall box or a wall bracket. Alternatively they can be mounted in the chassis of a device (such as a CIA Series interface) that accommodates connector modules, or attached to a CPM Series rack-mountable frame for mounting in a standard equipment rack.

Installing a Wall Box or Wall Bracket

For wall and furniture mounting installations, the installation site must be deep enough for both the wall box (or the DAV/ DAS, if using a wall bracket) and the cables. The box should be at least 2.5" (6.4 cm) deep. Install cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing a wall box or bracket.

1. Place the wall box or mounting bracket against the installation surface; mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall or furniture.

2. Cut out the material from the marked area.

3. Insert the wall box/bracket to check the opening’s size and fit. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.

4. Feed cables through the wall box’s punch-out holes,

ground shields, and

W To prevent short circuits, the

outer foil shield can be cut

back to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp. Connect both braided and foil shields to an equipment ground at the other end of the cable. Insulate any exposed shields with heat shrink

5. Insert the wall box or wall bracket into the opening, and attach it to the wall, stud, or furniture, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface.

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

To attach a wall box to metal, use four #8 or #10 self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine bolts with matching nuts.
