Connectivity Template
The Connectivity Template included with the
DKEC suggests how the unit could be wired
under ideal conditions. It enables the installer
to determine ahead of time where to place the
junction boxes and outlets.
Keep in mind, however, that the existing wall
contains structural studs. The location of these
studs will dictate what kind of junction boxes can
be used and where they can be placed. There
is no guarantee that the layout suggested by the
Connectivity Template will work “as is” for each
particular situation.
Place the template on the wall area behind the
location for the unit. It should be located such
that the center line of the template (see marking
on template) is aligned with the desired center
line of the DKEC unit. Note that the images on
the Connectivity Template include the outline of
the DKEC unit itself.
Positioning the Connectivity Template
The template can be held in place with masking
tape. Make sure that the template is right side
up on the wall (look for the Top arrow).
Option A
Based on the Connectivity Template the
following items are recommended for the actual
wiring of an DKEC unit:
Recommended Products:
• Two Siemon Home Recessed Wall plates,
From the Angled MaxTM Tool less line,
Part number MX-TFP-S-06-25
• Five recessed RCA connectors for the
audio and video connections, Siemon
Home part number MX-RC-25
• One F connector, for radio and television
reception, Siemon Home part number MX-
FA-25
• One RJ45 connector for the Ethernet
connection, Siemon Home part number
MX5-F25
• One RJ11 connectors for a Dial Up
connection, Siemon Home part number
MX3-F25
• Grounded Clock hanger receptacle, Pass &
Seymour part number S3713 or S3833
Option B
The installer may need to take an approach that
is a variation on the approach shown on the
Connectivity Template. In some circumstances
it may be more desirable to use the following
product:
• Leviton 80704W wall plate, fits to a single
gang receptacle and has a 1 -3/8 inch
diameter hole in the middle. (All terminal
cables can be run directly out of the hole in
the wall plate.)
Position the Bracket
Position the Mounting Template in the desired
location.
• If the bottom surface of the kitchen cabinet
(where the bracket is to be mounted) is
recessed from the bottom of the kitchen
cabinet frame, you will need to bring the
bracket and the cabinet into alignment.
This should be done using furring strips at
the locations of the mounting screws.
• For reasons of aesthetics, also note
where the bottom of the DKEC unit itself
will be when the unit gets installed into
the bracket. In cases where the unit is
installed into a custom nook, the bottom
of the DKEC should align with the bottom
surfaces of the adjacent kitchen cabinets.
• Using the template, make sure that the
bracket will be mounted such that the
vertical face of the DKEC unit will be flush
with or just slightly recessed back from the
vertical face of the cabinets.
• Leave adequate clearance in the rear for
electrical/electronic connections.
Tape the Mounting Template in position, then
mark the locations of the 6 mounting holes. Use
an awl or nail to create a center mark in each
mounting hole. Remove the template.
Positioning the Mounting Template
Remove the mounting bracket from the top of
the DKEC by loosening the two screws at the
back of the unit using a screwdriver.
We recommend installing the mounting bracket
with six 5/16” T-nuts and screws. Seat the
screws firmly against the bracket, but do not
overtighten.
Installing the Mounting Bracket
Mount the DKEC
Install the DKEC onto the mounting bracket
taking care to align the guide rails on the
bracket with the rails on top of the DKEC (“A”,
as shown in “Attaching the Unit to the Mounting
Bracket”). Slide the unit about half way back on
the rails.

Attaching the Unit to the Mounting Bracket
Before securing the unit, plug the cables into the
appropriate connectors as indicated on page 4.
Loosen the two screws on the bracket in order
to receive the two slotted tabs along the rear
edge of the unit. Slide the DKEC unit into the
bracket. The tabs should fully engage the pins
(“B”, as shown above).
Using a screwdriver, tighten the screws on the
mounting bracket, alternating between the two
screws until the tabs are secure (“C”, as shown
above).
When installation is complete, the face of the
unit should be flush with, or slightly recessed
from the face of the cabinets.
