SI-96 Series User Manual

Mounting SI-96 to the Wall

You can install SI-96 on wood, drywall surface over studs, or a solid concrete or metal plane directly. Ensure the installer uses at least four M3 length 8mm screws to secure the system on wall.

Six M3 length 8mm screws are recommended to secure the system on wall.

Fasteners are not included with the unit, and must be supplied by the installer. The types of fasteners required are dependent on the type of wall construction. Choose fasteners that are rated either ”Medium Duty“ or ”Heavy Duty.“ To assure proper fastener selection and installation, follow the fastener manufacturer’s recommendations.

When mounting, ensure that you have enough room for power and signal cable routing. And have good ventilation for power adapter. The method of mounting must be able to support weight of the SI-96 plus the suspend weight of all the cables to be attached to the system. Use the following methods for mounting your system:

Mounting to hollow walls



Method 1: Wood surface

– A minimum wood thickness – 38mm (1.5in.) by

25.4 cm (10in.) – of high, construction – grade wood is recommended.

Note:

This method provides the most reliable attachment of the unit with little risk that the unit will come loose or require ongoing maintenance.



Method 2: Drywall walls

- Drywall over wood studs is acceptable.

Mounting to a solid concrete or brick wall

- Mounts on a flat smooth surface.

Selecting the location

Plan the mounting location thoroughly. Locations such as walkway areas, hallways, and crowded areas are not recommended. Mount the unit to a flat, sturdy, structurally sound column or wall surface.

The best mounting surface is a standard countertop, cabinet, table, or other structure that is minimally the width and length of the unit. This recommendation reduces the risk that someone may accidentally walk into and damage the device.

Local laws governing the safety of individuals might require this type of consideration.
