Mounting

Four predrilled mounting holes in the unit's metal frame allow the panel to
be mounted directly through drywall into a stud (1.5" pan head screws are
recommended). When screwing one side of the VIA! Touch Panel into a stud,
the winglet on the opposite side should be deployed. The use of drywall
anchors in lieu of stud-mounting is not recommended.
To mount the unit to a stud when not using a rough-in bracket, it is neces-
sary to remove the clamping winglet and bend back the metal tab that holds
the winglet in place. This allows the VIA!'s housing to mount flush against
the stud. See Figure 3.15 for details.
