Wall Mounting the CH6640E/CG6640E
You have the option to wall mount the CH6640E/CG6640E. Do the following before
mounting the CH6640E/CG6640E on the wall:
•
Locate the unit as specified by the local or national codes governing residential or
business cable TV and communications services.
•
Follow all local standards for installing a network interface unit/network interface
device (NIU/NID).
•
Make sure the AC power plug is disconnected from the wall outlet and all cables are
removed from the back of the CH6640E/CG6640E before starting the installation.
•
Decide if you want to mount the CH6640E/CG6640E horizontally or vertically.
If possible, mount the unit to concrete, masonry, a wooden stud, or some other very solid
wall material. Use anchors if necessary (for example, if you must mount the unit on
drywall).
CAUTION: Before drilling holes, check the structure for potential
damage to water, gas, or electrical lines.
Do the following to mount your CH6640E/CG6640E on the wall:
1. Print a copy of the Wall Mounting Template.
2. Measure the printed template with a ruler to ensure that it is the correct size.
3. Use a center punch to mark the center of the holes.
4. On the wall, locate the marks for the mounting holes.
5. Drill the holes to a depth of at least 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm). Use M3.5 x 38 mm (#6 x
11/2 inch) screws with a flat underside and maximum screw head diameter of 9.0 mm
to mount the CH6640E/CG6640E.
6. Using a screwdriver, turn each screw until part of it protrudes from the wall, as shown
in the following wall mounting screw dimensions illustration.
6.0 mm (.24 inches) maximum
9.0 mm (.35 inches) maximum
2.5 mm (.10 inches).
There must be .10 inches (2.5 mm) between the wall and the underside of the screw
head.
7. Place the CH6640E/CG6640E so the keyholes on the back of the unit are aligned
above the mounting screws.
