Flush Mounting
When you remove the MMI from the shipping carton, you will notice that it has two
parts. The first is a fairly thin section that contains the keypad, display and some
circuit boards. The other part is thicker and contains the telephone jack and a cable
that connects to the keypad assembly.
When you flush mount the MMI in a panel,
only the thin section will stick out from
your panel - the large portion mounts
behind your panel. You’ll need to cut a
precise section from your panel. There is a
cardboard template in the MMI’s shipping
box for this purpose.
If you want the MMI to be dust proof and
watertight, you must place the black rubber
gasket between the thin part of the MMI
and your panel. Assemble the two halves
using the eight small screws provided.
Surface Mounting
An easier way to mount the MMI is to bolt the two halves together ahead of time, us-
ing the eight small screws. If you want the MMI to be dust proof and watertight, put
the black rubber gasket between the two halves before screwing them together.
Then cut a hole in your panel for the cable
that runs between the MMI and the 1240i.
The hole must be at least 5/8” in diam-
eter for the connector to fit thorugh. You
will also need two holes that line up with
the big mounting holes in the MMI. The
mechanical outline on page 22 shows the
location of the big mounting holes.
When you mount the MMI to your panel,
you will need to use some kind of sealant
to keep dust and liquid out. Silicone or
latex caulking is okay, or you can make
your own gasket from a sheet of compliant
material like rubber or RTV.

Mounting the Optional MMI
There are two ways to mount the MMI in your application. No matter which method
you choose, you’ll need to connect the MMI to your 1240i with the MMI cable. The
MMI has the same telephone style connector as the 1240i.
