Modero VG Series Touch Panels - Instruction Manual
Pre-wall Installation of the CB-TP17 Conduit Box
Wall Mount panels (NXDs) are contained within a metallic outer housing (back box). This back box is not removed when installing
the NXD into a Conduit Box (CB-TP17). The back box is only removed to gain access for the replacement of the Compact Flash
component or upgrade to the VESA housing.
NOTE: INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE STUD AND CONDUIT BOX TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL/SHEETROCK. This gap
allows the installation of the drywall/sheetrock after the CB-TP17 has been mounted onto the beams.
The CB-TP17 Conduit/wallbox is an optional metallic box that is secured onto a beam in a pre-wall setting (where no walls or
present). Installation procedures and configurations can vary. This section describes the installation procedures for the most
common installation scenario.
NOTE: The stud notching and conduit box installation must be done prior to any wall installation.
The most important thing to remember when mounting this conduit box is that the mounting tabs must be mounted flush against
the outside of the sheetrock. This step determines whether or not the mounting stud is notched (cutout-out to fit the conduit box).
1. Measure the distance between the inside of the two selected stud beams. Most beams have a distance of about 14" to 16".
This is too narrow to accommodate the 17.072" (43.36 cm) wide CB-TP17 conduit box.
2. Determine whether one or both of the selected stud beams must be notched (FIG. 54). The determining factor is the flush
alignment of the mounting tabs along the outside of the post-wall sheetrock.
3. Cutout the notched beam using a height of 13.554" (34.43 cm) (as shown below in FIG. 54) and a depth equal to the
thickness of the drywall.
NOTE: The determining factor in the depth of the cut into the beam is the thickness of the drywall. The mounting tabs MUST BE
FLUSH against the drywall and therefore, the depth of the notch depends on that thickness.
4. Insert one side of the conduit box into the indention on the notched stud and rest the other side of the box against the
opposite beam.
5. Install and secure a shorter horizontal beam below the conduit box. This beam acts to support the weight of the box from
below and should be secured to both vertical beams (at the sides).
6. Fasten the CB-TP17 to the Notched stud/beam through the stud fastening holes, located on the inside of the conduit box
(FIG. 55), by using either nails or screws.
7. Insert a perpendicular block between the Non-Notched stud/beam and the Conduit Box. This block acts as a bridge to secure
the stud/beam to the CB-TP17 along the stud fastening holes located inside of the box.
8. Secure the perpendicular block to the Non-Notched stud/beam (FIG. 55) by using either nails or screws.
9. Fasten the CB-TP17 to the block through the stud fastening holes, located on the inside of the Conduit Box (FIG. 55), by using
either nails or screws.
