Cut out a Cable Access Area
a. To mount the USFM 100 onto non-masonry
walls, at the desired site, use an edge-to-
edge stud finder to locate the center of the wall
studs (wood or steel). Mark each stud location.
Minimum joist size should be 2 by 4 inches.
b. Hold and level the base plate against the wall.
Mark a minimum of four positions (two top, two
bottom) using either the mounting slots or the
keyholes (slots uppermost) that are on the stud
lines. Where applicable, mark the mounting
holes on the wall for drywall toggles.
c. If the cables are to be run behind the wall to the
USFM 100 location, mark the cutout area on
the wall large enough for signal cables.
d. Remove the base plate and set it aside. Cut out
the marked area for cable access.
For drywall with wood studs
i. Drill ¼ inch diameter pilot holes at the marked
stud locations.
ii. Align the base plate mounting holes over the
pilot holes and lightly secure with 5/16 inch lag
screws and washers.
iii. Verify level and position, and fully tighten down
all the screws to secure the plate.
For drywall with steel studs
i. Drill a ½ inch (13 mm) hole through the stud at
each of the locations (four recommended).
ii. Insert the supplied toggles through the studs
and lightly secure the plate using the four
supplied (¼-20 x 2 inch) bolts and washers.
iii. Verify level and position, and fully tighten down
all the bolts to secure the plate flush to the wall.
C2. Install the Switcher Onto the Base Plate.
a. Place the mounting plate flat on the switcher
base with the two small raised tabs on top, and
the small securing tab over the front panel. Align
the two mounting holes in the switcher base
with the corresponding holes on the mounting
plate. Secure the plate to the switcher using the
two 4-40 x ¼ inch pan head screws.
