Prerequisites
• Review these instructions before beginning.
• Installed: appropriate field wiring (standard six-
conductor room unit cables, plenum or non-
plenum as required) within the maximum wiring
run length for the individual equipment controller.
The maximum recommended length is 100 feet
(30 m).
• Installed: AQM2200 Power Module.
NOTE: The AQM2200 is a mandatory component
of this installation (QPA only). Without the
Power Module, the Room Unit will not
power up.
• All wiring must comply with National Electric Code
(NEC) and local regulations.
Room Unit Mounting Information
Always mount the room unit vertically, on a flat wall.
Locate the room unit:
• according to design specifications and local
regulations.
• where the air circulates around it freely (not in
recessed areas or behind doors).
• allowing a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) free
space above and below for proper airflow, the hex
bit or passkey tool, and the computer
communication cable.
• away from drafts caused by doors, windows,
outside walls, air registers, pipes, return air
plenums, and so on.
• away from heat sources such as strong lights,
fireplaces, direct sunlight, and so on.
• on an inside wall (preferably), about 5 feet (1.5 m)
above the finished floor, or per code (ANSI, ADA,
or local regulation).
Drywall Mounting (No Rough-in),
Typical
1. Mark the center (cable) hole and the mounting hole
locations, using the room unit base plate as a
template. See Figure 3.
2. Drill two 3/16-inch (4.8 mm) mounting holes and mount
the two plastic wall anchors flush to below the wall
surface for stable mounting of the device.
3. Cut a 1-inch (25 mm) center hole with a hole saw.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the optional
Insulating Gasket on the back of the Sensor
Base for hollow wall installations.
When applying the adhesive-backed gasket
to the back of the Sensor Base, orient the
gasket so that the cut-out arrow portion of
the gasket is in the upper lefthand quadrant
of the Sensor Base. The Sensor Base has an
UP arrow molded into the surface in the
same quadrant location.
Figure 2. Insulating Gasket.
4. Pull about three inches (75 mm) of the cable through
the hole in the base plate.
NOTE: See Figure 2 for details on optional Gasket
application.
Figure 3. Drywall Mounting (No Rough-in), Typical.
5. Mount the room unit base plate on the wall, noting the
UP arrow:
NOTE: If required, position the Back Plate behind
the Room Unit Base, aligning the top and
bottom mounting holes, prior to mounting to
the wall:
a. Install the two mounting screws provided, but do
not tighten.
b. Level the room unit base plate for appearance.
