INSTALLING THE MEDVAULT® UNIT
For maximum security, the following instructions must be adhered to.
When determining the mounting location, confirm there is adequate
space to open and close the MedVault® door. Allow a minimum of 1 inch
above the door for room to remove the door from the MedVault. For
more information refer to page 7. The door has to be able to open at
least 90° to allow door removal.

Installing the Hardware
To maintain the security of the storage device, mounting holes are not pre-drilled. Use mounting hardware
suitable for your mounting location.
Assemble the following hardware and equipment:
• Four (4) quarter-inch (1/4”) bolts and washers
• Drill and bit
• Center punch
We recommend the following mounting guidelines:
1. Insert bolts from the inside of the unit
2. Place mounting holes on the edge of the unit back, bottom or top, where the unit construction
is reinforced
3. Place the mounting holes at least three-quarters of an inch (3/4”) from the edge of the unit
4. Use a center punch to start the mounting holes
5. Ensure that the cable is not pinched or pulled during mounting, and that it will not be damaged
during operation
6. Make sure the mounting holes do not interfere with any component inside the box
7. Do not mount anything to the MedVault® door
8. Do not use a hammer to fit the unit in place (doing so may warp the unit)
9. Do not overtighten the mounting bolts—it will distort the flange and may warp the unit
10. Do not mount the unit facedown from a ceiling or overhang area
11. The door hinge of the mounted unit must be on the right
12. When the door is open, it should not rest on any surface
13. If you install the unit on a thin or hollow wall/surface use a solid backing for reinforcement
14. We recommend mounting the unit to solid studs or steel supports
15. Clean up shavings after drilling the mounting holes
Mounting Options
Surface mounted models are designed for mounting on a flat surface.
Recess mounted models are designed for flush mounting. You can adapt the unit to fit a variety of wall or
compartment types.

Installing the Electronics
Assemble the following tools and supplies:
• Electrical tape
• Wire stripper
Follow these steps to install the MedVault® electronics:
1. Establish the desired location of the unit in the vehicle
2. Determine the source of the MedVault® power and ensure the power supply is filtered, fused, and
capable of supplying three (3) amps
3. Run the supplied 2-conductor 16AWG cable to the power connection
4. Connect the black wire in the ten-foot (10’) cable to a battery ground
5. Connect the red wire to a 12-volt power source (Note: the MedVault can be connected to switched
power, to conserve power when turned o but will not receive updates)
6. If you are connecting the unit with continuous power:
A. First, connect ground to the black wire
B. Second, power +12 volts to the red wire
7. Test the installation by turning on the power; the keypad should
be lighted and a banner should scroll above it, displaying the time,
date, and door status
A. Add users to the MedVault via KnoxConnect®
B. Connect the MedVault USB programming cable to the unit
C. Use Knox Device Sync to load network template
D. Sync MedVault with KnoxConnect (note: must be connected to network to sync Users)
E. Enter a valid PIN code
F. The MedVault should unlock, allowing you to turn the knob from the vertical position to the
horizontal position
