FIG. 20 provides detailed dimensions for the MET-13E and MET-13X keypads: .
Mounting Procedures
AMX recommends mounting Metreau keypads in standard U.S.-style Decora wallboxes:
Conduit box should meet NEC specs (section 370)
Minimum internal clearance of (HWD) 2-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1-5/8".
Wallbox Mounting
1.
Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cutout the install surface.
2.
Connect the AxLink connector (or SWT cable connectors) to the rear of the keypad.
3.
Place the Mounting Plate on the wallbox; align the screw holes with the mounting holes and fasten the Mounting Plate to the
wallbox using the screws supplied.
NOTE:
Do not over-tighten the screws when mounting the Mounting Frame. The device should be flush with mounting surface.
Podium Mounting
1.
Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cutout the Mounting Frame install surface for the keypad
2.
Confirm that the terminal end of the AxLink cable is disconnected, and not receiving power.
3.
Connect the AxLink power supply. The connector passes through the center of the Mounting Frame and connects to the
board.
4.
With the Mounting Frame resting in the cutout area, drill the mounting holes into the flat surface.
NOTE:
Do not over-tighten the screws when mounting the Mounting Frame. The device should be flush with mounting surface.
Accent Frame
While the Metreau device family does fit into many International wallboxes, it may be necessary to utilize the optional Accent Frame
to completely cover the wallbox.
To install the keypad with the optional Accent Frame:
1.
Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cut out the install surface for the keypad.
2.
Place the Accent Frame on the wallbox; align the screw holes with the mounting holes on the wallplate. Fasten the wallplate to
the wallbox.
Based on the extensive number of international wallboxes it is not pragmatic to ship every possible screw that could be used.
Please use the screws appropriate for your specific wallbox.
NOTE:
Do not over-tighten the screws when mounting the Mounting Frame. The device should be flush with mounting surface.
3.
Confirm that the terminal end of the AxLink cable is disconnected, and not receiving power.
4.
Connect the power supply. The connector passes through the center of the Mounting Frame and connects to the board.
5.
Place the Mounting Frame on the Accent Frame; align the screw holes with the mounting holes and fasten the Mounting Frame
to the wallplate. The Accent Frame is shipped with two #6-32 x .187 long flat head screws (80-131); these are used to attach
the keypad to the accent frames.
