Installation Method Alternatives
The IPD can be mounted on a wall or in the corner of a room, using the mounting-base provided.
The mounting-base is the back cover of the IPD, as shown in Figure 18 below.
Figure 17: The Mounting-Base
There are two ways to install the IPD mounting-base:
Using mounting- tape
Using screws
Before choosing the installation method, consider the following:
Installation with the mounting-tape is more common.
The screws on the right-side of the inside of the mounting-base, covering the punch-out
holes on the left-side of the IPD, are for tamper protection.
Installation with screws supports the device when installing on a difficult angle.
Using Mounting-Tape
Figure 19 below shows the double-sided, adhesive mounting-tape on the back cover of the IPD. Note
that the tape is provided on both sides of the back cover in addition to the center of the cover.
Providing the mounting-tape on all sides enables installation of the device in varying positions.
