Site Preparation and Wall Box Installation

Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. Install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the wall plate.

NOTE: The extender units are very deep and have connectors on the back side. Extron recommends a 2-gang wall box which has a depth of at least 3.0 inches (7.6 cm) to accommodate the connectors and cables.

To install a new wall box, perform steps 1 through 9. If a suitable wall box is already installed, perform steps 6 through 9 on the next page. UL Listed wall boxes are recommended.

1.If a wall box is not available to use for a template, use the Decora Template Dimensions on page 24 to create a template. If installing directly into furniture, cut out the center portion of the template.

2.Place the wall box (or the full size template) against the installation surface, and mark the opening guidelines.

3.Cut out the material from the marked area.

4.Insert the wall box into the opening. The rear connectors on the box or wall plate should fit easily into the opening. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.

5.Secure the wall box with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface (see figure 2).

NOTES:

If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) of screw thread 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.
