Installing the NXD-1700VG into a Flat Surface using #6 Screws
Mounting screws (#6, not included) are secured through two sets of circular holes located at the left and right sides of the NXD-
1700VG. The most important thing to remember when mounting the NXD Wall Mount is that the outer frame (Mounting Tabs)
must be installed flush against the mounting surface.
Most beams have a distance of about 14" to 16". This is too narrow to accommodate the 17.03" (43.26 cm) wide outer housing
(back box) of the NXD-1700VG.
NOTE: INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE SURFACE OF THE STUD AND THE BACK BOX MOUNTING RIDGE TO ACCOMMODATE
THE DRYWALL/SHEETROCK. This gap allows the installation of the drywall/sheetrock after the back box has been mounted onto the
beams.
1. Determine which stud beam configuration to use:
Pre-wall framing is done prior to the drywall installation (local framing instructions vary based on location and building
codes). Mount the main NXD unit into a pre-wall environment by fitting the right side of the box against a beam, then
notching the stud closest to the connectors (based on FIG. 60 and the depth of the drywall), and using the securing screws
to fasten the unit into place after the drywall has been installed. A horizontal beam can be installed (framed) below the
back box to provide lower support.
With an existing wall in place, continue with steps 3 and 4 to notch one or both selected beams. There is no horizontal
support beam "framing" in this method. Take into account the width of the cutting blade and the thickness of the drywall
surface when making the cut into the drywall.
2. Locate the edges of the two studs used in this installation. The location of the NXD is site dependant and could involve notching
more than one beam.
NOTE: In this sample installation, the left beam is notched and the back box rests against the right beam.
3. Remove any screws/nails from the surface, along the notched beam, before beginning the cutout process.
4. Follow the procedures outlined within Steps 1 - 5 on page 37 thru page 38 to carefully reinstall the LCD panel back into the
back box housing.
5. Cut out the surface for the Wall Mount using the dimensions shown in FIG. 60.
6. Remove the magnetic faceplate/bezel (A in FIG. 61) from the main NXD unit (B in FIG. 61) by gripping the faceplate and pulling
with gentle outward force.
