Installation
There are two different methods of installing the BB-1550CW; installation during
construction or post-construction installation. Installation during construction
describes installation into a room during construction when the room is framed and
the gypsum board has not been hung. The post-construction method is used after the
rooms are complete and gypsum board has already been hung.
Installation During Construction
This section describes installation into a room during construction when the room is
framed and the gypsum board has not been hung. Before the gypsum board is hung,
complete the following procedure in the order provided. The only tool required is a
#2 Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE: This procedure installs the left-side of the back box to the right-side of a
framing stud. If installing the back box to the left-side of a stud, reverse the
mounting bracket and the mounting support bracket but maintain the orientation of
the back box enclosure with the manual unlatching notch at the top.
1. Locate the position and height that the back box (and touchpanel) will
be installed.

2. Refer to the diagram below. Position the mounting bracket at the edge
of the stud. Through the upper and bottom-most mounting bracket
slots and using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, secure the bracket to the stud
using four wood screws (not supplied).

NOTE: To be properly installed, the cutout area of the gypsum board must be cut to
within 1/8-inch (0.32 cm) of the outline of the back box enclosure.
NOTE: The next step is performed after the gypsum board is hung. The only tools
required are a ruler and a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
7. After the gypsum board is hung, refer to the diagram below. Using a
ruler, adjust the back box to approximately 1/16-inch (0.15 cm) inward
of the face of the gypsum board to accommodate the distance between
the back box and the front panel. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver,
tighten the four pair of bracket screws finger-tight plus an additional
1/8-turn.

Installation After Construction
This section describes installation when room construction is complete and gypsum
board has been hung. Complete the following installation procedure in the order
provided. The only tools required are a stud finder (or equivalent), masking tape,
gypsum board saw (or equivalent), ruler and a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE: This procedure installs the left-side of the back box to the right-side of a
framing stud. If installing the back box to the left-side of a stud, reverse the
mounting bracket and the mounting support bracket but maintain the orientation of
the back box enclosure with the manual unlatching notch at the top.
1. Locate an area on the wall that the back box (and touchpanel) will be
installed. Make sure that the area is clear of studs, wires, or other
obstructions within the installation area.

2. Using a stud finder (or equivalent), locate the right-edge of a stud
within the installation area.
3. Align the left dashed, vertical line (labeled STUD EDGE) of the
supplied template with the right-edge of the stud. Refer to “Appendix:
Cutout Detail of Supplied Template” on page 10 for an illustrative
reference.
4. Using masking tape, fasten the supplied template to the wall; verify that
the cutout is level.
5. Using a preferred method, transfer the cutout area of the template to the
gypsum board at the location of the back box.
6. Using a gypsum board saw (or equivalent), cut the rectangular area
through the wall.
7. Remove the template and cutout area.
NOTE: To prevent the mounting bracket from falling into the wall cavity, it is
recommended to tie a safety string to the bracket when performing the next step.
8. Refer to the diagram on the next page. Through the cut-out area,
position the mounting bracket at the edge of the stud (flush with the
back-side of the gypsum board) and vertically centered in the cut-out
area. Through the mounting bracket slots closest to the center of the
bracket and using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, secure the bracket to the
stud using four wood screws (not supplied).
