1. The center of the control panel would typically be
located between 102 – 165 cm (40" – 65") above the
finished floor. Follow local guidelines for accessible
wall controls. Route Cat 5e/6 cable to the location.
There is a channel on the base plate and a knockout
on the angled plate for cable routing if installed on a
solid wall.
Note: For installations complying with US
ADA guidelines the top of the panel should
not exceed 122 cm (48") from the floor.
2. Remove the cover from the rear of the table
mount.
3. Remove the screw holding the table mount to the
control panel.
4. Remove the mount by sliding it down and then lifting it.
5. Attach the wall plate directly to the wall with screw anchors or screw it to a gang box (most gang box
styles are
supported). Orient the plate with the arrows pointing up.
