Installation
Assembly
Required Tools:
• #2 Phillips tip screwdriver
The back box mounting enclosure comes fully assembled except for a grounding
screw. To prepare for mounting, complete the following procedure.
1. Remove knockouts as required.
2. Slightly loosen #08-8B self-tapping screw in the back box mounting
enclosure assembly for attaching ground connection.
NOTE: The #08-8B self-tapping screw (2007277) supplied for grounding purposes,

Mounting
Required Tools:
• #2 Phillips tip screwdriver or hammer
• Level
NOTE: If your installation is not on wooden studs, be sure to consider the needs of
your particular situation. For example, screw type may vary for steel studs, etc.
To mount the back box, complete the following procedure (refer to illustration on the
following page).
1. Position the back box against the stud so that the extended edge of the
attached mounting plate covers the front edge of the stud. Be sure the side
of the back box is also against the side of the stud.
2. Use the level to verify the back box is horizontal. Leveling must be done
before proceeding.
3. Attach the back box to the left or right side of the stud with standard
drywall screws or nails (not included). If mounting to the left side of a stud,
the back box must be turned over so that the extended edge of the attached
mounting plate is on the right side.
4. Feed cables through the knockout holes.
NOTE: This assembly should use Class 2 wiring only.

Other Mounting Option Accessories
If too much of the mounting plate is exposed after the drywall is cut, you may need
to patch the area. Crestron provides the following accessories:
• TMK-8X-DSW (Doc. 6582) – for smaller repairs and to provide a smooth
edge at the opening. This option provides a finished appearance and is
preferred when wallpaper is hung.
• MMK-8X-DSW (Doc. 6581) – for larger repairs and to fill in larger
irregularities around the opening (requires plastering)
The manuals for the TMK-8X-DSW and MMK-8X-DSW are available from the
Crestron website.
