Planning - Check the Proposed Installation Location
Before starting the installation it is important that you do the following:
WARNING: Failure to check these items may result in property damage, personal injury,
or both.
Ensure there are no utility cables or pipes at the intended location that might be damaged
c
or cause injury when you are installing the device.
Check that the installation meets the local and state regulatory requirements, including
c
building, electrical, and safety codes, and UL and ADA accessibility requirements.
During installation ensure the space behind the device is sufficient for the bend radius of the
pigtail. The recommended minimum bend radius is 2.4 inches.
Installation
1. Using the supplied mud ring or a junction box (not included) as a guide, mark and cut out
the appropriate material within the marked area.
2. Either:
z Insert the mud ring into the opening, rotate the
locking arms, and secure it with the supplied screws
(as shown at right), or
z Insert the junction box and secure it with nails or
screws.
3. Run the cables (video, audio, and HDMI) from the output
or input device locations (as applicable), behind the wall,
and to the WPB location, then thread the cables through
the mud ring or junction box.
4. Video — Insert the HDMI and VGA cable connector into
the appropriate connector on the pigtail.
NOTE: If using a DVI display with the WPB 109, connect a HDMIM-DVIDF adapter (part
number 26-617-01) and a separate audio cable.
5. Audio — Secure the output audio cable into the 3-pole captive screw connector. Wire as
described in “Cable Preparation for Audio Connections” on page 2.
NOTE: This may be easier to do before attaching the device to the mud ring.
6. Mount the cabled device into either the mud ring or the junction box.

Cable Preparation For Audio Connections
7. Connect the appropriate input or output devices to the front panel connectors.
8. Test the system and resolve any cabling or signal issues.
The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical.
The ideal length is 3/16" (5 mm).
• If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16", the exposed
wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them.
• If the stripped section of wire is shorter than 3/16", the wires can
be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
NOTE: Audio ground pins may be labeled as
or . The wiring and function are the same,
whichever way your product is labeled.
