2.6 Mounting Brackets Installation
Note: Before mounting the system on wall, ensure that you are following all
applicable building and electric codes.
Requirements
When mounting, ensure that you have enough room for power and signal
cable routing. And have good ventilation for power adapter. The method of
mounting must be able to support weight of the CMI222 System plus the
suspend weight of all the cables to be attached to the system. Use the
following methods for mounting your system:
Selecting the Location
Plan the mounting location thoroughly. Locations such as walkway areas,
hallways, and crowded areas are not recommended. Mount the product to a
flat, sturdy, structurally sound column or wall surface.
The best mounting surface is a standard countertop, cabinet, table, or other
structure that is minimally the width and length of the product. This will reduce
the risk that someone may accidentally wall into and damage the product.
Local laws governing the safety of individuals might require this type of
consideration.
Selecting the type of wall construction
1. Mounting on a hollow wall
•Wood surface
Use construction-grade wood and the recommended minimum
thickness is 38 x 25.4 mm (1.5” x 10”).
Note: This method provides the most reliable attachment for the
product with little risk that the product may come loose or
require ongoing maintenance.
•Drywall
Drywall over wood studs is acceptable.
2. Mounting on a solid concrete or brick wall with flat and smooth surface
