Unit Setup
Mounting the Recorder
You mount the recorder unit on a wall using the bracket provided with the unit, then secure the unit
to the wall using two additional screws.
This unit is only designed for wall-mounting.
WARNING:
•
Ensure that the location where you wall-mount the unit can fully support the unit’s weight.
For information about the weight, see “Specifications” on page 13.
•
To ensure the unit does not exceed the recommended operating temperature, the unit must
be wall-mounted in a location where it is unobstructed on all sides. Airspace or airflow
around the unit must provide ambient air of less than 104° Fahrenheit (40° Celsius) when
measured above and below the unit.
•
Do NOT place anything on the top of the unit when mounted, as this can block airflow.
Mounting Location
For security, the unit is designed so that all the cables route out of the back of the unit and through
a hole in the wall behind the unit. When the unit is correctly mounted and locked, only authorized
personnel are granted the key to the unit and access to the restricted location behind the mounting
wall. This ensures that unauthorized people cannot tamper with the unit.
Note:
If you are mounting the unit on a wall where it is not possible to cut a hole for cabling (for
example, a concrete wall) or attach the unit to metal or wood, contact March Networks for
alternate mounting instructions.
When planning the location for the unit, you must consider the following:
•
The location where the cables route to (through the wall behind the unit) must be restricted
access.
•
You must be able to cut a hole through the wall for the cables, or mount the unit so that the
cables can route out the back of the unit into a tamper safe location.
•
You must install the mounting screws into wall studs (metal or wood support). March Networks
recommends that you secure the unit to metal or wood, NOT to drywall.
The following items are required to wall-mount the unit:
•
Mounting bracket — provided with the unit
•
Mounting screws — The unit requires six (6) screws for mounting: four for the bracket and two
for the unit.
Pan head, sheet metal screw, #10 x 1.5 inch
or
M5 x 40mm, steel.
To mount the recorder
1
Locate the left and right wall stud to which the recorder is to be mounted.
If the wall studs are behind drywall, use a stud finder to locate the studs, then mark the
locations.
Note:
March Networks recommends that the screws that hold the mounting bracket and the
unit itself are inserted into wall studs (metal or wood support), not drywall.
