Mount The Switchplate & Mcp - KVH Industries M5 Installation Manual

12 Mount the Switchplate & MCP
In Step 4, you prepared the mounting sites for the
switchplate and MCP. Now follow these steps to
mount them.
Switchplate
NOTE: As an alternative, the switchplate includes
two additional mounting holes for installing within
an electrical panel. If you chose this option, simply use
two of the #6 screws to mount the switchplate to the
panel.
a. Align the four mounting holes in the
switchplate with the holes in the mounting
surface (see Figure 29).
b. Mount the switchplate to the mounting
surface using four #6 screws.
c. Gently snap the front cover onto the
switchplate to conceal the mounting screws.
MCP - Velcro Mount Option
a. Clean and dry the bottom of the MCP and the
mounting surface (use a mild detergent).
b. Peel the backing from the two supplied
Velcro fabric squares and stick them to the
bottom of the MCP (see Figure 30).
c. Position the two Velcro hook disks onto the
mounting surface. Drill screw holes for the
disks and secure in place with #4-24 screws.
d. Press the MCP firmly into place so that the
fabric's loop material engages the hook disks.
MCP- Flush Mount Option
a. Make sure the flush mount bracket is
attached to the MCP. If it is not attached,
disconnect all of the cables from the MCP,
attach the bracket as explained in Step 4 on
page 6, then reconnect the cables.
b. Insert the MCP and bracket assembly into the
mounting hole and secure in place with four
#8 screws and washers (see Figure 31).
