Mounting an ACC ES Rugged 8-Port Appliance
You can mount the ACC ES Rugged 8-Port Appliance to almost any flat surface capable of bearing its
weight in any orientation, or to a DIN rail in any of four orientations. With the exception of mounting to a
DIN rail using the provided mounting plate and DIN rail bracket and screws, you must provide screws and
anchors, or nuts and bolts suitable for the surface on which you are mounting the appliance.
Tip:
Mount the appliance to any surface or to a DIN rail before you permanently power on the
appliance, connect cameras to it, and start recording. If you want to set up your appliance before
mounting it, we recommend you turn off the power supply to the appliance and disconnect all
cables after set up is complete and before you mount the appliance.
To mount the appliance on a flat surface:
The base of the appliance incorporates mounting holes at each corner for mounting the appliance to any flat
surface at any angle or orientation:
1. Position the appliance with the rear panel facing in the direction for easiest access to the power and
cable connectors.
2. Mark the locations of the screw holes on the surface.
3. Drill holes for the anchors and insert the anchors into the wall. If you are using wood, concrete or
masonry screws, drill holes as appropriate.
4. Attach the appliance to the surface using the fasteners you provide.
To mount the DIN rail bracket and mounting plate to the appliance:
A mounting plate, bracket, and screws to attach the bracket to the plate are provided. The DIN rail bracket
clips to a DIN rail with the curved part to the top. The ACC ES Rugged 8-Port Appliance has metal tabs on
the rear side that fit into matching slots in the mounting plate.
The bracket can be attached to the mounting plate in one of four positions. This gives you options to mount
the appliance to the rail in a variety of positions to give you the best access to the front and rear panels:
l
Front or rear facing up or down
l
Front or rear facing right or left
Tip:
If you are mounting the ACC ES Rugged 8-Port Appliance to a DIN rail, determine the correct
orientation of the bracket to the mounting plate and install the bracket on the mounting plate
before attaching the mounting plate to the appliance. This makes it easier to ensure that the
appliance will be installed in an optimal position.
