Step 2: Install/Mount the Components
BMA CTH
On the BMA CTH back panel
•
With speaker wire (not included),connect external speakers to the Phoenix Euroblock connectors (a)
•
Move the Power Select sliding switch (c) to the right, towards the P-Link In connector (d)
Prepare Plenum Shield for Seismic Cables
If you plan to install both the plenum shield and seismic cables:
Cut four 1” long slots diagonally in the plenum shielding to match the points of seismic cable attachment.
If you do not plan to install the plenum shield and cables, skip this step.
Attach the Plenum Shield to the BMA CTH
1. On the underside of the shield, remove the liner from the adhesive in four places.
2. Thread cables through cut slots before you attach to ceiling.
Install the BMA CTH with Seismic Cables
You can mount the BMA CTH in a suspended ceiling, held in place by the standard T-BAR grid, with an additional
1/8” diameter seismic cables (not included).
For stability, ClearOne recommends attachment at the four points shown. If installing with the plenum shield, feed cables thru slots cut in earlier step
COLLABORATE Versa USB
You can mount the Versa USB in the following ways:
• a rack shelf • under the table
• on the wall • above the ceiling
Mounting hardware is not included.
The following parts are not included with the Versa USB:
4 Qty
#6 or M3.5 screws

Tools Required
The following tools are required to install the Versa USB:
Quick-Start Guide
#1 Phillips screwdriver
Level used to level the expander
T15 Torx screwdriver
Drywall saw for cutting hole in ceiling or wall for cable passage for above ceiling mounting
Drill bits appropriate to fastener type
Electric or portable drill
Rack Shelf Mount
ClearOne offers a standard 1U rack shelf with 20lb (9kg) weight capacity.
1. Determine location for rack shelf.
2. Align mounting holes on rack shelf mounting ears with holes on the rack (at determined location).
3. Insert the four #10-32 screws included with the ClearOne 1U rack shelf (or proper screws for your third-party mount) and tighten.
Note:
Remove pre-installed mounting ears on expander to fit up to 3 expander units side-by-side on a single ClearOne 1U rack shelf.
4. Torx drive screws secure the pre-installed mounting ears to the main body of the expander unit. Remove them with a Torx T15 screwdriver. (optional)
5. Secure expander unit(s) to the rack shelf. You must supply your own hardware
(four #6 or M3.5 screws) for securing the expander(s).
Under-the-Table Mount
1. Select your hardware based on your specific installation needs.
2. Determine location for the mount.
3. Using expander as a guide (and level if needed), mark four mounting hole locations with a pencil.
4. Determine proper depth and diameter, and drill four pilot holes for the #6 or
M3.5 screws.
5. Align mounting holes on expander mounting ears with pilot holes.
6. Insert four #6 or M3.5 screws and tighten
7. Align mounting holes on expander mounting ears with pilot holes.

rial that supports the expander. Exercise care when you drill and install anchors so wall material does not tear out and weaken the attachment.
Above The Ceiling
Select hardware based on your specific installation needs.
Note:
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the installation and cable routing complies with local safety codes.
1. Determine location for the mount, and where to route cables.
Mark location where you want to route cables through with a pencil (on finished side of ceiling tile) if you need to cut a hole.
2. Remove affected ceiling tile and adjacent tiles required for access.
3. Install fasteners/anchors.
4. Install expander unit at determined location.
5. Use drywall saw to cut hole into finished side of ceiling tile at marked location.
Note the following:
• Carefully run connected cables so they do not block the cooling vents or put strain on the connectors.
• Anchors and screws used to mount the expander are not provided and must be selected by installer for the type of ceiling material supporting the expander. Take care while drilling and installing anchors so ceiling material does not tear out and weaken attachment.

Warning:
Power over Ethernet (PoE) equipment used with COLLABORATE® Versa Lite CT must meet the IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at standards.
You should use the PoE Power Injector provided with Versa Lite CT. Other power source equipment may immediately apply power and could damage the Versa Lite CT components.
