Installing The Nxd-1700Vg Into Drywall Using Expansion Clips - AMX NXD-1200VG Operation/Reference 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.

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.
Refer to the SP2256-11 engineering


With an existing wall in place, continue with steps 3 and 4 to notch one or both selected beams. There is no
horizontal support beam "framing" in this method.
Take into account the width of the cutting blade and the thickness of the drywall surface when making the
cut into the drywall.
INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE SURFACE OF THE STUD AND THE
BACK BOX MOUNTING RIDGE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL/
SHEETROCK.
