Hardware Installation

UCM6304A can be installed on the desktop or on the wall and can be installed in a cabinet on a pallet. Please refer to the following steps for correct installation.

Wall installation

  1. Before formally installing the expansion screws, clarify the specific location of the expansion screws and make a mark.
  2. Pay attention to the following points when drilling: First, the drill bit model (aperture) used for drilling refers to the maximum diameter of the expansion tube equipped with the expansion screw; second, the drilling depth refers to the length of the expansion tube, slightly deeper than 5~10mm.
  3. After the expansion tube is inserted into the punched hole, it can be tapped lightly with a hammer to make the expansion tube and the wall flat.
  4. Fix the equipment well and fix the self-tapping screw in the expansion tube.
