Connecting power
The 950AP is connected to the mains electricity supply via a 12V d.c.
power adapter and country-specific power cable (both supplied).
Depending on your building configuration, you may need to fit the
adapter and cable inside a wall or ceiling cavity when you install the
950AP.
1. Connect the power cable to your mains electricity supply and to
the 12V adapter.
2. When you are ready to configure the 950AP, insert the end of the
12V adapter cable into the its power port. The 950AP’s LED
indicator will light and display the LED boot sequence (see
Reading the LED for more information.
Mounting to a wall (or ceiling)
The 950AP has a mounting bracket that can be attached to a wall or
ceiling using suitable screws and fastenings. See Installing the 950AP
for information on where to position the 950AP for optimum
performance.
Figure 3: Mounting the 950AP to a wall or ceiling
To mount to a wall or ceiling
1. Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark out drill
positions.
2. Drill two holes 43 mm apart using a 5.5 mm drill bit. The holes
must be 75 mm from where the cabling emerges in the wall or
ceiling to ensure a flush fitting (or 60 mm from the mounting
bracket’s edge).
3. Insert suitable fastenings such as wall plugs into the holes.
4. Position the mounting bracket over the two holes and insert the
appropriate screws.
5. Connect the cables from the hole in the wall/ceiling to the
950AP.
6. Slide the 950AP over the mounting bracket until it fits into the
groove. Continue sliding until it locks into place.
