Figure 7
Figure 8 – Tighten cable clamp around foam fire block so that there are no air gaps. Be careful not to over
tighten and crush the Ethernet cable(s).
**IMPORTANT** - This is an important safety feature that could prevent human injury or damage to the equipment
should the unit become dislodged from the ceiling.
Step 8 – Use support wires (included) to support the multimedia
enclosure. Attach one end of the wire to the eye tabs located
along the edge of the back box and the other end to a permanent
structural component of the building such as a joist. A supporting
grid wire should be attached to all four corners (Figure 7).
Step 9 – Once the multimedia enclosure is installed in the
ceiling, run the power cable to the electric junction box. The
junction box/receptacle should be wired according to electrical
codes.
**IMPORTANT** - This procedure should be done
by a trained electrician.
Step 10 – Run the data and power cable (if required) through the
conduit connectors located on sides of the access point
enclosure. In order to maintain a separation of signal and power,
install the data and power cables through opposite sides of the
enclosure utilizing the two knock-outs provided. Insert foam into
the conduit connector and pull the data cable through far enough
to allow attachment to the access point (8" - 10"). Carefully
tighten conduit connector around fire block foam just enough to
fill in gaps around cable. Be careful not to over tighten and crush
the data cable(s), as this can affect cable performance (Figure
8). Attach any additional data cables as necessary and power up
the networked devices (these should be plugged into the power
outlet installed in the multimedia enclosure).
Step 9 – Close and lock the access door. The installation is now
completed.
Note: The Oberon Model 1074-PROJ multimedia enclosure is specifically designed to be used with networking
equipment no bigger than 2U deep and 14” in length.
