4 Installation

4.1 Site Preparation

SAFR SCAN Flush Mount is installed by creating a cutout in the surface it is being installed upon. Any material of any thickness is supported but surfaces thicker than 1.5 inches will require longer toggle bolts than what is provided with the packaging.

Once the height and location is selected the cutout should be created according to the following diagram.

Create an opening 4.8 inches square as shown. You can use the Wall Plate as a template and draw a line on the inside of the Wall Plate. Rounded corners are recommended but not required but will improve mounting strength. Notches must be cut into the opening at indicated locations in order to allow clips to expand and secure the unit to the wall plate. See wall plate for notch locations. Two small notches must be made at the top and one larger notch at the bottom.

4.2 Mounting Wall Plate

Secure the wall plate to the wall as described below.

  1. Place the wall plate around the opening and mark the 4 holes at the corners of the wall plate.
    1. The two small notches should be on top.
  2. Remove wall plate and drill a 5/32" (4mm) hole at each of the 4 marked locations.
  3. Replace wall plate and use the 4 included toggle bolts to attach the wall plate to the wall.
    1. Use the opening to hold the toggle nut and attach to the bolt.
    2. Once all toggle bolts are secured, tighten.
