Fusion Installation Procedures
• The maximum weight the bracket can hold is 22.5 kg (50 lbs).
• The bracket is designed to accommodate a Fusion Main Hub (12 lbs.) or an Expan-
sion Hub (14.5 lbs.).
• The wall mount bracket should be securely mounted to wall, using the four key slot
mounting holes on the bracket.
Using the Wall Rack-Mounting Option
You can flip the rack mounting brackets, as shown in Figure 7-2, so the hub can be
mounted 76 mm (3 in.) forward in the rack.
Figure 7-2 Bracket Detail For Wall Mount Rack (PN 4712)
To install the Hub to the wall-mounted rack:
1. Attach the wall bracket (PN 4712) to wall the using #10 Pan Head wood screws,
1-1/2” minimum length for mounting in wood studs or 3/4“thick plywood.
The bracket must be positioned so that the Hub will be in a horizontal position
when it is installed. (Refer to Figure 7-2.)
NOTE: If wall stud spacing of 16” is not available, TE recommends that
3/4” plywood be pre-installed to the wall. You can then attach the bracket to
the plywood using the wood screws.
2. Remove both of the rack mounting brackets from the Hub.
3. Reattach each of the rack mounting brackets to the recessed wall mount position.
4. Install the Hub in the rack using the rack mounting screws.
