Installation Instructions

The MK box is not included with the interface; the installer is responsible for obtaining and installing the box.

The MK box must have a minimum depth of 47 mm.

Preparing the site and installing the MK box

Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the MK box and the cables. You may need to install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the interface.

The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the interface’s size requirements. Dimensional drawings and actual-size cut-out templates are provided at the end of this guide.

1.Cut out the center portion of the cut-out template.

2.Place the template (or the MK box) against the installation surface, and mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall or furniture.

3.Cut out the material from the marked area.

4.Check the opening size by inserting the MK box. The box and interface should fit easily into the opening. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.

5.Feed cables through the wall box punch-out holes, and secure them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.

6.Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with heat shrink (figure 1).

To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp. Both braided and foil shields should be connected to an equipment ground at the other end of the cable.

7.Insert the MK box into the opening, and secure it to the wall stud or furniture with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface (figure 2).

8.Set the gain and DIP switches and cable and test the interface before securing the interface into the wall box.

The switches and cables will be inaccessible after installation. Refer to the specific user’s manual for your interface.

Mounting the interface MK to the knockout box

1.Disconnect the power supply to remove power from the interface.

2.Place the interface through the opening in the wall or furniture and into the knockout box. Take care not to damage the cables, which will lay next to the interface at the side of the box.
