Installing The Nxd-1700Vg Into Drywall Using Expansion Clips - AMX NXD-1700VG Instruction Manual

Installing the NXD-1700VG Into Drywall Using Expansion Clips

Expansion clips are mounted through the four oval holes located along the rim of the NXD-1700VG. As the screw is tightened, the
clip bends toward the insertion hole and into the wall. This bending creates a "grip" on the wall by either pressing onto the wall or
by securing the drywall between the housing and the drywall clip.
The most important thing to remember when mounting the NXD-1700VG Wall Mount is that the outer frame (Mounting Ridge) must
be mounted flush against the mounting surface.
Most beams have a distance of about 14" to 16". This is too narrow to accommodate the 17.03" (43.26 cm) wide outer housing
(back box) of the NXD-1700VG.
1. Determine which stud beam configuration to use:
Pre-wall framing is done prior to the drywall installation (local framing instructions vary based on location and building

codes). FIG. 57 shows show to mount and position the main NXD unit into a pre-wall environment (for use with drywall
clips).
There is no notching of a beam in this method. The center vertical beam is cut out, attached, and secured to two horizontal
beams, then further secured into place by an another offset vertical beam that "frames" the insertion area. This framing
method provides a space of ~1.20 inches (30.63 mm) above and below the NXD unit to provide the drywall clips with room
to secure themselves against the drywall.
Enough room must be left
for drywall clips to fold and
collapse above and below
the back box

2. Locate the edges of the two studs used in this installation. The location of the NXD is site dependant and could involve notching
more than one beam.
NOTE: In this sample installation, the left beam is notched and the back box rests against the right beam.
