Installing the DB-815 can be a tricky process, particularly running the cable from
the outdoor Unit the indoor LCD Unit. Running cables through walls and/or the
ceiling involves drilling holes and then feeding the cable into them. During this
procedure, there is always the risk of accidentally making contact with live electrical
wiring - the results of which are often lethal.
Thus: if you’re not intimately familiar with the electrical wiring in your
home, please, hire a professional to install the cable! A small installation
fee is certainly preferable to injury or death.
However, if you feel confident
and able to proceed, or are not installing the cable into the walls/ceiling, the
installation procedure is as follows.
Installing the cables:
Run the cable from the location you want the outdoor Unit to the location you
•
want the indoor unit.
There is no ‘right’ way to do this - one solution (as mentioned above) is to run
•
the cable through the walls/ceiling. Alternately, you can use a series of cable
clips and run the cable on the outside of the walls and through the door frame
(if there’s space for it) but this solution is obviously less aesthetically pleasing.
The U-shaped terminals attach to the indoor unit, the bare wires to the outdoor
•
unit.
Attaching the mounting brackets:
Once the cable is where you want it (leaving enough excess that the wiring can be
attached easily), the next step is to attach the mounting brackets to the wall.
Using two screws, mount the outdoor bracket so that the wiring comes
•
through the lower of the two large openings.
If you’re mounting the outdoor bracket onto brickwork, concrete or similar,
•
remember to use proper masonry screws and/or plugs.
Mount the indoor bracket with two screws, so that the wiring protrudes
•
through the large center hole.
Again, be sure to use screws suitable for the surface. If your walls are plaster
•
sheeting, make sure the screws enter the framework behind for stability.
