Mount Box to Wall
This box is provided with four knockouts on each long side, sharing the same
conduit entry locations as the wall mount Echo Station Power Supply. All wiring
terminations are accessible from the front with the cover removed. If you are
mounting this box directly next to the wall mount Echo Station Power Supply, use
appropriate attaching hardware and wire protection hardware (not provided).
Step 1: Remove the six screws securing the front cover to the box.
Step 2: Align the unit to the wall and mark the mounting keyholes.
Alternatively, reference the dimensioned drawing on the left.
Step 3: Drill the mounting holes and install the mounting hardware (not
provided). Expose at least 3/4” (19mm) of threads for mounting the
unit.
Step 4: Attach the termination box to the mounting hardware, where the
back side of the unit is flush to the wall, then tighten the mounting
hardware.
