Installing CAP MXs
3 Refer to "Determine the Mounting Site” on page 23 to determine the mounting location, which must be
able to support the weight and dimensions of the CAP MX.
4 Refer to "Mounting Orientation” on page 31 to determine the mounting orientation of the CAP MX.
5 Refer to and observe all cautions listed in "General Mounting Cautions” on page 30.
6 Secure the Mounting Bracket to the wall (or another suitable vertical surface) as shown below.
a Install the mounting bracket using 4 corrosion resistant M6 to M8 (1/4 to 5/16 inch) fasteners
according to the drilling layout.
b Confirm that the bracket is securely fastened to the wall.
Installer must verify that the mounting surface will safely support the combined load of the electronic
equipment and all attached hardware and components.
The M6 to M8 fastening system does not ship with the CAP MX as the anchor type is dependent on the
on-site conditions (wall structure and materials). Use a corrosion resistant fastening system that is
designed for the mounting substrate.
