3.1.1  Screw Mount 

 
There  are  three  screw  holes  that  can  be  used  for  mounting  the  C-100MB  SmartBob  control  console  as 
shown  in  the  diagram  below.    You  will  need  one  #8  wood  screw  at  least  3/8”  long  and  two  #8  wood 
screws at least 5/8” long. 
 

1.  Locate,  drill  a  hole  for  and  screw  the  3/8”  long  screw  into  the  mounting  board/plate,  leaving  the 

head of the screw out about 1/8”. 

2.  Hang the console with the one screw by the center mounting tab. 
3.  Remove the lower wiring cabinet cover and mark the locations for the two lower mounting screws 

with a pencil or awl. 

4.  Remove the console and drill holes for the two lower mounting screws. 
5.  Hang  the  console  again  by  the  center  mounting  tab  and  fasten  in  place  with  the  two  lower 

mounting screws.
