Wall Mounting Requirements

Note: Before mounting the system onto the wall, ensure that you are following all

applicable building and electric codes.

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 the weight of SI-12 plus the suspend weight of all the cables to

be attached to the system. Use the following methods for mounting your system:

Mounting to hollow walls



Method 1: Wood surface

– A minimum wood thickness – 38mm (1.5in.) by

25.4 cm (10in.)

– of high, construction – grade wood is recommended.

Note: This method provides the most reliable attachment of the unit with

little risk that the unit will come loose or require ongoing maintenance.



Method 2: Drywall walls - Drywall over wood studs is acceptable.

Mounting to a solid concrete or brick wall - Mounts on a flat smooth surface.

Selecting the Location

Plan the mounting location thoroughly. Locations such as walkway areas, hallways,

and crowded areas are not recommended. Mount the unit 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 unit. This recommendation

reduces the risk that someone may accidentally walk into and damage the device.

Local laws governing the safety of individuals might require this type of

consideration.
