Crestron BB-1600 Back Box

Installation

There are at least two different methods of installing the BB-1600. The
construction method is preferred during the construction process. Use this
method to wall mount a Crestron Series 1600 Lectern/Wall Mount
Touchpanel to a wall stud. At this time the rooms in which the panel is to
be installed are framed and the gypsum board has not been hung. The
post-construction method is preferred for wall mounting when the rooms
are complete and the gypsum board has already been hung. The post­construction method is also desirable when lectern mounting the panel.

Construction Method

This method requires two #6 mounting screws (or equivalent) and a drill
with bit for two #6 mounting screws. Other tools required include a #2
Phillips tip screwdriver, a socket screwdriver (length should not exceed

4.5"), a 5/16” drill bit, a #20 drill bit, and a gypsum board saw (or
equivalent). Complete the following installation procedure in the order
provided.

1. Remove necessary knockout(s) from metal electrical box.

2. Use four socket hex head screws (3/8” length), supplied, to

loosely secure two metal brackets to the back box.

3. Position the metal electrical box to the stud. If 5/8" gypsum board

is used, be sure that ½" of the box protrudes from the stud as
illustrated in the metal electrical box cut away shown on the next
page.

a drill, a 5/16” drill bit, and a #20 drill bit. Complete the following
