Location Selection
Find a central location for the panel so as to allow equal lengths of wire to be run to locations
throughout the home. The location of the panel should be so that the surrounding
temperatures do not exceed 122º F (50º C) or go below 32º F (0º C). Exposure to high
humidity levels should be avoided so as to prevent condensation in the panel. Locate the
panel in close proximity to a 110VAC for power requirements of amplifier or security panels.
There is an outlet knockout in the bottom of the panel for the installation of an UL / ETL
approved outlet. (Note: have a licensed electrician install the outlet to meet current code
requirements).
Caution: Consult local building and electrical codes, before installing any
equipment.

Note: There is no fire rating on this panel therefore it should not be installed in fire rated
walls.
Mounting the Panel
Our panels are designed to be flush mounted. Mount the panel on a stud using the mounting
brackets located on the left side of the panel. The brackets have been offset for sheetrock
and slots are provided for adjusting the cover so as to provide a clean, flush look. Place
grommets in knockout locations to be used for wire entry into the panel.
Cabling Rough-In
Video Cable
Install RG6 Quad Shielded from each location to the panel entering the panel from the
top and leaving an additional 18” of cable on each end of the run. Mark each cable with
its end location for easy identification as this information will be needed later. Do not kink
or bend the cable in less than a 4” radius as the signal could be affected.
Install a RG6 Dual Quad Shielded cable from each location that a signal may be obtained
from, such as a cable company or satellite signal provider. Leave an additional 18” of
cable in the panel and 3 – 4 feet of additional cable at the service provider location. Mark
each cable for easy indemnification.
Each cable run should comply with all codes and good wiring practices should be
followed at all times.
Telephone Rough-In
Install the cable (Category 5e or higher) to the telephone company network interface
device (NID).
Install cable from each location (Category 5e or higher) to the panel leaving a minimum of
36” on each end and mark each cable end.
Each cable run should comply with all codes and good wiring practices should be
followed at all times.
