GENERAL INSTALLATION

When I mount VAIL Cast in the wall how do I run the cables out of the wall or to a remote
location?
Due to the many possible wiring configurations, we do not supply a standard wall plate for wires
to exit the wall as we do with the VAIL Amps. We therefore recommend using a low voltage
pass through wall plate of your choosing.
Can I rack mount the VAIL Cast?
Yes, you can rack mount the VAIL Cast. There are some suppliers that have rack plates available
that will hold double gang wall plates. We recommend the Atlas part number BB-PLT-PNL.
When rack mounted, you may also choose to use the Ethernet connections to assure the best
connectivity.
Do I have to worry about heat when I mount it into the wall?
VAIL Cast is designed to operate coolly within a standard "stud bay" with drywall. If you will be
placing it into another setting it must have some form of ventilation as it can't be sealed off
completely at the back.
I plan on putting VAIL Casts into multiple units in a hotel or condo setting (MDUs). How do I
keep guests or owners from using someone else's VAIL Cast? With Wi-Fi functionality each
would have to be on its own network. The Bluetooth pairing is only available during pairing and
then remains hidden therefore that would be protected as well.
I connected another IR receiver other than the one that came in the box, and it is not working.
What's wrong?
VAIL Cast is designed to work with only 3Volt IR receivers. The one you have plugged in is likely
not 3 volts.
