Selecting an Installation Location
The iPort Control Mount is designed for use in normal interior environments. When
selecting an installation location for the Control Mount, please consider the following:
• DonotusetheControlMountoutsideorinahumidorwetenvironment.Itisnot
waterproof or water-resistant.
• TheControl Mountcut-out musthave enoughdepth withinthe wallcavity forthe
Control Mount and its connections.

Installation Preparation
The CM-IW200 features an integral Roto-Lock mounting system for quick mounting
directly into existing walls. Once the hole is cut and the cables have been run, you can
install the iPort into the wall in a matter of seconds.
1. DeterminethelocationfortheiPortControlMountandthewallplate.Notethatthe
unbalancedaudioisdesignedforuseinalocal-zonesystemwheretheiPortwallplate
andaudioequipmentarelocatedlessthan30feetfromtheControlMount.
2. Perform an obstruction survey to ensure there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating
ducts, or air returns that will interfere with the Control Mount.
Note: You can mount the CM-IW200 directly next to a wall stud on either side (see
Step 8).
3. Findthecut-outtemplateprovidedintheCM-IW200packaging.Positionthetemplate
where the Control Mount is to be located and pencil an outline on the wall.
Note: Be sure to confirm the installation of the iPort at this time for either vertical (por-
trait) or horizontal (landscape) orientation. Certain applications of the mounted iPod
touch work only in one orientation, so be sure to confirm the client’s requirements
before cutting the hole. Note: Variable audio only available in portrait orientation.
•Ifyouareunsureaboutobstructions,drillasmallholeinthecenteroftheoutlineand
insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to feel around for possible obstructions.
4. Cut the opening using a drywall saw.

IMPORTANT: Do not install the iPort’s wall plate
in the same electrical box as AC house wiring,
a light switch, or any other high-voltage device
or control. The wall plate can share gang boxes
with other iPort Control Mount wall plates or
with controls such as A/B speaker switches,
infrared receivers, and volume controls, if
these other devices are rated as Class 2 devices
according to the National Electrical Code.
