INSTALLATION IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION

Use the following procedures for installation in existing construction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting from farthest wall inlet location, install each inlet as described

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

below. Working back toward power unit, connect each inlet line and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

branch line into main trunk line. See page 5. Complete low voltage wiring

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BASEBOARD

as main trunk line is continued back to power unit. Mount power unit and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

complete wiring. See page 8.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TOE STRIP

WALL INLET INSTALLATION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. See Figure 29. A small ‘pilot’ or ‘locating’ hole can be drilled behind

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

baseboard toe strip to determine proper location of 212" diameter tubing

hole in sole plate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“X”

2. Measure the total thickness of the wall, including baseboard. One half of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this wall thickness measured from the pilot hole (dimension ‘X’) will

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

determine the proper location of the 212" tubing hole in the sole plate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Once desired inlet locations have been determined, cut a 212" hole in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sole plate directly in line with proposed inlet location. Check through

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FLANGED

tubing hole to be sure no obstruction exists.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FITTING

4. Be sure tubing hole is centered in sole plate and directly in line with

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

proposed wall inlet cutout.

VOLTAGE

5. If area is clear, cut an inlet opening in the wall approximately 18" above the floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WIRING

Make sure wall opening and 212" tube hole line up (Figure 29).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Cut a length of tubing that will extend from inlet opening to a point below floor level

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(or above ceiling level in attic installation). Tape low voltage wire to tube and insert tube

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

through predrilled hole to a level opposite the wall opening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Apply cement to tube and install flanged wall fitting. Make sure fitting is well seated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and sealed (Figure 30).

8. Remove plaster frame from mounting bracket. Pull low voltage wire through hole in

 

bracket and insert bracket into cutout. Secure bracket to flanged fitting with four screws

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

provided. Be sure seal is secure between flange fitting and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mounting bracket (Figure 31).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Attach the low voltage wires to terminal screws on back of wall

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

inlet (Figure 32).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Insert wall inlet into bracket and secure with the two screws

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

provided (Figure 33).
