Installation Preparation
The CM-IW2000 features an integral Roto-Lock
®
mounting system
for quick mounting directly into existing walls. Once the hole is cut
and the cables have been run, you can install the iPort into the
wall in a matter of seconds.
1. Determine the location for the iPort Control Mount and the
wall plate.
2. Perform an obstruction survey to ensure there are no studs,
conduit, pipes, heating ducts, or air returns that will interfere
with the Control Mount.3.
Find the cut-out template
provided in the CM-IW2000 packaging. Place in appropriate
location between wall studs. Verify there are no horizontal fire
blocks with-in cut out area. Place level on template to assure a
level opening. Position the template where the Control Mount is
to be located and pencil an outline on the wall.
• If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the
center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire into the
hole to feel around for possible obstructions.
4. Cut the opening using a drywall saw.
5. After cutting the opening, make sure the edges of opening are
smooth so frame flange will rest flat against wall.
iPort Connection and Installation
