1.

If a wall box is not available to use for a template, see the

dimensions

on page 35

to create a template. If installing directly into furniture, cut out the center portion of
your template.

2.

Place the wall box (or your 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 (figure 11).

NOTE: 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.

Installing the Wall Box

6.

Feed the TP cables and, if applicable, the audio and power cables through the
opening and through the wall box punch-out holes, securing them with cable clamps
to provide strain relief.

NOTES: • In order to fit in the junction box, the TP cables and RJ-45 connectors

should not have a boot installed.

• One power supply can power both the transmitter and the receiver, so

only one unit needs a power supply.

7.

Trim back and/or insulate exposed cable shields with heat shrink to reduce the chance
of short circuits.
To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point where the
cable exits the cable clamp.

8.

Connect the cables to the rear of the unit. See

Connections

, later in this manual, for

connector wiring details.

9.

Connect front panel devices (see

Connections

, later in this manual, for connector

details), restore the power supply, and test the transmitter/receiver system. Make
any cabling adjustments before final installation, as the cables will be inaccessible
afterwards.
