1. Check the selected location for the unit. The VCM100 requires a clear, flat area with suitable

space for routing the cables below the unit.

2. Hold the VCM100 in place in the required mounting location.
3. Using a pencil, mark the drilling area inside the mounting lug on each side of the VCM100 unit.
4. Using a 3 mm drill bit, drill a hole through the pencil marks.
5. Align the VCM100 mounting lugs with the drill holes.
6. Hold the VCM100 in place.
7. Using a suitable screwdriver, screw the self-tapping mounting screws through the mounting lug

holes, into the drilled holes.

8. Connect the cables, according to the instructions provided in this handbook.
9. Hold the cable clamp in place over the cables, approximately 50 mm (2”) below the mounted

VCM100 unit.

10. Using a pencil, mark the drilling area inside each mounting bracket hole.

ENSURE THE CABLES DO NOT COVER THE HOLES.

11. Using a 3 mm drill bit, drill a hole through the pencil marks.
12. Hold the cable clamp in place, each hole aligned with the drill holes.
13. Using a suitable screwdriver, screw the self-tapping mounting screws through the bracket holes,

into the drilled holes.
