STEP 1:
Select a location close to the display device (Plasma TV, DLP, etc.). In the
case of a wall-mounted Plasma TV, this may be behind the display device
and totally hidden from view once the Plasma TV is mounted.
MIW-Power NOTE:
For new construction (pre-wire): Use a Carlon new-
work electrical box (Model B122A). A Carlon low voltage add-on bracket
(Model SC1 OOSC) may be used with the new-work box to indicate the
size and location of the opening needed in the drywall. The low-voltage
bracket may be left in place when installing the MIW-Power.
MIW-Power-3Bay NOTE:
For new construction (pre-wire): Use a Carlon
new-work electrical box (Model B122A). Carlon low-voltage add-on
brackets cannot be used since there is no way to remove them after the
drywall is installed. The width of the opening in the drywall will have to
be enlarged (carefully) to allow installation of the 3-bay unit.
STEP 2:
Run the AC wires through the lower-left entry of the outlet box. No more than 1 inch of wire sheath should extend into the outlet box.
3 inches of wire should be able to extend beyond the opening of the outlet box. Install the outlet box into the right side of the hole.
• For MIW-POWER, cut a
4-inch wide by 3 3/4 - inch
high hole in the wall.
• For MIW-POWER-3BAY,
cut a 6 1/4 - inch wide by
3 3/4 - inch high hole.
STEP 3:
Slide the included shrink-wrap
tubing over the ground wire to
prevent contact with the circuit
board. Use the included wire
nuts to connect the wires.
STEP 4:
Remove the blank module interface
cover and run the signal cables
through the opening.
The MIW-Power-3Bay will accommodate up to 3 modules
and includes 3 separate blank cover plates. Remove only
the ones being replaced with signal-line modules.
STEP 5:
Neatly fold the AC wires as you install the protector into the wall with
the AC side fitting into the outlet box. Secure the unit to the outlet
box with the included screws.
MIW-Power NOTE:
Only the right side screws are
used to mount the protector into the included outlet
box. The left side screws are for appearance only
and are held on with the included plastic washers.
All four screws are used when mounting the protector
to a new-work electrical box and add-on bracket.
MIW-Power-3Bay NOTE:
The right side screws are used to
mount the protector into the
included outlet box.
The leftside screws and compression
brackets secure the module bay
portion of the unit to the drywall
and provide support for the weight
of the signal-line cables.
