Room Station Rough-In

Room Station Mounting

The Room Stations are normally mounted at a height from the floor of: 4-1/2’ to 5’.The Room Stations are not designed to be installed outdoors.

Room Station Installation - Unfinished Wall

For an unfinished wall it is recommended that the VMC1HR rough-in enclosure be used. Identify the location where the Room Station is to be installed.

Attach the Rough-In Enclosure to the stud using the two inner pre-punched holes (see Figure 3). The outside holes on the wings of the box are to be used to mount the room station and not to attach the Rough-in Enclosure to the stud.

Pull the Cat-5 wires through the hole in the back of the Rough- in Enclosure and make a knot so they do not fall back into the wall once the drywall is installed.

After drywall is installed, cut out an opening to the inside dimensions of the VMC1HR utilizing the inside of the box as a guide (see Figure 3 ).

Room Station Installation - Finished Wall

Identify the location where the Room Station is to be installed.

Cut a 3-1/2” x 7-3/4” rectangular hole in the drywall. When possible, one short edge should be situated against a wall stud to provide added support when installing the Room Station.

Pull the wire through the hole and attach to the drywall so it will not fall back into the wall cavity.

Room Station Auxiliary Activation

When operating in single digit mode, each Room Station can activate the Auxiliary Control Output (CO) triggers at the Master Station.

Pull a yellow 18 gauge wire from the VMC1MB to the Room Station location. Following this color convention will assist in the final installation of the VMC1 system.

Pull the yellow wire through the hole in the back of the Rough-In Enclosure and loop it through so it does not fall back into the wall once the drywall is installed.
