Master Station Rough-In
VMC1MB Master Station Mounting Bracket
The VMC1MB mounts fl ush with the wall stud and holds the
Master Station and Power Supply (See Figure 1). Position the
VMC1MB at a suggested height of 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 feet from the
oor to center of the unit. As all wiring from other stations
is generally terminated at the rear of the Master Station, the
wall should be no less than 3 inches deep. If required, install
additional wood shims or metal rough-in enclosures to allow
for adequate support of the Master Station.
IMPORTANT: Install the Master Station in a cavity wall to allow for the
wiring behind it. Do not install in a brick wall. For wall tiling around the
Master Station, ensure that it is mounted either completely within or
clear of tile to avoid an uneven surface. Be sure to allow at least 10” of
space below Master Station Bracket and fi rebreaks for Power Supply.
This is also necessary for clearance when installing the Master Station
Mounting Bracket into pre-cut drywall opening.
The VMC1MB has a correct orientation, so review Figures 1
and 2 to be sure it is right side up.
VMC1MB Installation - Unfi nished Wall
Install the VMC1MB fl ush with the front of the wall stud and
fasten in place with screws as shown. After drywall has been
installed, cut out an opening to the inside dimensions of the
VMC1MB (7-1/4” x 11.”).
