Install the Device
You can install the ION 1200-S-C-NA/ROW on a flat surface, in a rack, or on a wall.
Ensure there are no building services (water, gas, or wiring) behind the wall where you intend
to install the device.
Install the device on a wall
Download the Wall Mount template from
1
ion-1200-hardware-reference/install-ion-1200-s/ion-1200-s-wall-mount-template.
Print the Wall mount template on a US letter size sheet (8.5" x 11"), in portrait mode, and
scale to actual size to ensure the screw hole markers line up correctly.
Temporarily secure the Wall Mount template (Figure 5) to the wall where you intend to
2
mount the device and use it to mark the location for each of the four wall-mount screws.
Use a pointed object to punch through the paper and visibly mark the wall; then remove the
template and verify measurements.
Use a type 1 Philips head screwdriver to install the appropriate screws into each of the four
3
marked locations:
Drywall—First press a drywall anchor slightly into the center of a template mark. Then
◼
use the screwdriver to apply pressure while turning the anchor clockwise until the
surface of the anchor is flush with the wall. After the drywall anchor is secure, install
a 1.25" anchor screw into the anchor until the bottom of the screw head protrudes ¼"
from the wall. Repeat this step for the other three screw locations.
Plywood wall—Use the screwdriver to insert a .75" wood screw into the center of each
◼
template mark that is located over wood until the bottom of the screw heads protrude
¼" from the wall
If any screw location is located over wood, use a .75" wood screw instead of a drywall
◼
anchor and screw.
