Plastic Double Mount Installation
q
Install metal mounting bracket -
First, remove the metal mounting bracket from the inside of the double mount base by unscrewing
the two (2) 6-32 x 1/2” screws located on the underside of the base (save these screws for step #3). Next, screw the metal mounting
bracket to the wall or ceiling in which the clocks are being installed. To mount to the switch box, screw the four (4) 6-32 x 1” screws
supplied in the assembly kit through the inner four holes of the metal mounting bracket to the wall or ceiling. Use the outer four holes
to mount anchors to the wall or ceiling (both anchors and screws for anchors not supplied in kit). For IP clocks, if using an Ethernet
bracket (*as shown in the diagram) use the two (2) 6-32 x 1/4” included in the assembly kit to mount the Ethernet bracket to the metal
mounting bracket (Ethernet bracket not supplied in assembly kit).
Note: if using a plastic switch box, a ground wire must be routed through the switch box and into one (1) of
the four (4) metal mounting bracket screws in order to provide ground to the metal mounting bracket.
Note: the metal mounting bracket
MUST
be secured by both the screws going to the switch box
AND
the
anchors going into the wall.
w
Feed wiring through base and pole -
Take the wiring coming from the switch box and begin to feed it through the center of the
base of the mounting assembly until it emerges from the hole in the center of the clock adaptor. Make sure there is roughly 1.5’ - 2’
of wiring coming from the switch box. Perform this task for both clocks. If installing IP clocks, run bare Ethernet wire without an RJ45
connector and install the connector after it has been routed through the clock if possible (this will be much easier than running the
wire with the connector on). If not possible, make sure that there is no boot present on the connector to run the wire through the
assembly. If you are using an Ethernet bracket with the installation of IP clocks, the assembly of the clocks in steps 4 through 6 can be
accomplished before mounting the assembly to the wall in step 3 - making the overall installation more simple.
Note: if the installer wishes to adjust the distance between the clock adaptor and the base of the double
mount, this can be accomplished by removing the adaptors from the double mount pole and choosing a
different hole on the double mount pole to route the wiring through before mounting to the wall.
e
Snap and screw base to metal mounting bracket -
Snap the base to the metal mounting bracket by first making contact with the
lip in the upper side of the base and the metal mounting bracket. When the base has been snapped onto the bracket, take the two (2)
6-32 x 1/2” pan head screws that originally came installed on the base of the mounting assembly and screw them back into the two
holes on the underside of the base to secure the base to the metal mounting bracket.
r
Connect switch box wires to clock harness -
Take the wiring harness supplied with the clock and make all necessary connections
between the wiring harness and the switch box wires using wire nuts. Perform this task for both clocks.
*For metal mounting bracket: Use anchor that can support 50 lbs with a maximum screw size of 10/1.5”
