Rough-In

Rough-in installation of VIA! Touch Panels requires careful attention to
the design plan made previously. See Chapter 2. System Design &
Applications for a list of things to factor in to specific mounting locations
before deciding exactly where to place the unit.

New Construction

If installing VIA! Touch Panels in a new-construction environment, it is
advisable to use a New Construction Bracket (VIA40EMBKT, VIA70EMBKT,
VIA100EMBKT). Install the bracket after the studs are in place and the
electrical wiring is installed, but before the drywall is up. The bracket has
provisions for mounting to a stud on the left, right, or center of the stud bay.
Determine the mounting location and height, securely fasten the rough-in
bracket, and secure the Cat-5 and coaxial cables to the bracket using tape
or wire ties. Make sure to factor in the thickness of the drywall being used
when determining the depth to mount the rough-in bracket.
Note: The VIA!100EMBKT Rough-In Bracket is designed to complete-
ly fill the space between wall studs. Should studs be spaced more
widely than is standard, mount the rough-in bracket to horizontally
mounted studs as shown in Figure 3.11
