WARNING
HEAVY EQUIPMENT
The Conext XW Pro can cause serious injury if it falls or is dropped on a person.
For structural and seismic stability, the Conext XW Pro must be mounted onto a vertical
supporting surface strong enough to support a minimum of 500lbs (227 kg).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
A mounting plate is included with each Conext XW Pro and Power Distribution Panel
(PDP), designed to meet standards for structural and seismic stability. When properly
installed, the system also meets Section 59 of UL 1741 for Static Loads.
Each Conext XW Pro and Power Distribution Panel (PDP) requires a separate generic-
Mounting Plate. Attach the mounting plate to the wall before you attach the Conext XW
Pro or Power Distribution Panel (PDP) to the mounting plate.
Each Mounting Plate requires a minimum of four ¼-inch diameter lag bolts or other
fasteners (not included). Thefasteners must be strong enough to support 500lbs (227
kg).
The type of fastener required to secure the mounting plate varies according to the vertical
surface and wall structure of your installation location. For a list of recommended
fasteners, see Table 1, below.
