• 2 keyhole plates
• 4 No. 10-32 x 3/4” machine screws/washers

Note on Mounting to Sheet Rock or Dry Walls
Required Tools
• Phillips screwdriver
• 5/16” Allen key
The mounting plate supplied with the system is intended to be attached to wooden or metal studs used to support the
wall board. The following procedures explain how to mount a WAVEXpress/BTS unit on a sheet rock or a dry wall using
the mounting plate:
Step 1
Install a 3/4” (2cm) thick plywood sheet 24" (61cm) high to span the distance between two or three
studs where the WAVEXpress is to be mounted. To accomplish this, use four No. 8 x 1.5" screws for
each stud (either eight or twelve screws).
Step 2
Using 6 No. 12 x 1" wood screws, mount and secure the wall plate to the plywood sheet at the desired
position. Be sure to use under the heads of the screws.
NOTE
☛
These materials are provided in the indoor wall mounting kit, part number
M640055.
