Room Station Rough-In
Room Station Mounting
The Room Stations are normally mounted at a height from the
fl oor of: 4-1/2’ to 5’. The Room Stations are not designed to be
installed outdoors.
Room Station Installation - Unfi nished Wall
For an unfi nished wall it is recommended that the VMC1HR
rough-in enclosure be used. Identify the location where the
Room Station is to be installed.
Attach the Rough-In Enclosure to the stud using the two inner
pre-punched holes (see Figure 3). The outside holes on the
wings of the box are to be used to mount the room station
and not to attach the Rough-in Enclosure to the stud.
Pull the Cat-5 wires through the hole in the back of the Rough-
in Enclosure and make a knot so they do not fall back into the
wall once the drywall is installed.
After drywall is installed, cut out an opening to the inside
dimensions of the VMC1HR utilizing the inside of the box as a
guide (see Figure 3 ).
Room Station Installation - Finished Wall
Identify the location where the Room Station is to be installed.
Cut a 3-1/2” x 7-3/4” rectangular hole in the drywall. When
possible, one short edge should be situated against a wall stud
to provide added support when installing the Room Station.
Pull the wire through the hole and attach to the drywall so it
will not fall back into the wall cavity.
Room Station Auxiliary Activation
When operating in single digit mode, each Room Station
can activate the Auxiliary Control Output (CO) triggers at the
Master Station.
Pull a yellow 18 gauge wire from the VMC1MB to the Room
Station location. Following this color convention will assist in
the fi nal installation of the VMC1 system.
Pull the yellow wire through the hole in the back of the
Rough-In Enclosure and loop it through so it does not fall back
into the wall once the drywall is installed.
