Surface Mounting 

The ECP-C1’s back box provides four off 5.5mm mounting holes in its rear, for mounting onto a surface.  

1. 

The first stage of surface mounting the unit is to remove the front panel from the back box and to 
store it in a safe protected location. 

Care should be taken when removing the front panel from the back box. This is because the 
front panel wiring including the AFIL hearing loop tape coil can be damaged if it is snagged on 
any part of the back box during removal. 

2. 

If there is no access to the rear of the help point once it is installed and the rear cable entry 
positions are being used, then the help point’s connection cable or cables and any associated 
cable glands will need to be fitted to the back box before it is mounted.  

3. 

Note that the RJ45 Ethernet connection cable should be flexible enough to enable the help point 
to be assembled without excessive strain being placed on the RJ45 input socket for the AFIL 
Hearing Loop’s PoE power supply. 

4. 

Once the back box is installed and cabled, then the help point front panel can be connected to 
the incoming Ethernet cable via its RJ45 socket, and can be fitted to the front of the back box 
using its six tamper-resistant screws. 

As when removing the front plate, care should be taken when refitting the front panel to the 
back box. This is because the front panel wiring including the AFIL hearing loop tape coil can 
be damaged if it is snagged on any part of the back box during refitting. 

It is recommended that the front panel is not fitted into the back box until just before the help 
point is due to be commissioned, at the end of the site build process. The front panel should 
also be protected as far as is possible following installation, until all site works are complete. 
This will minimise the chance of the front panel being damaged during other nearby 
construction or commissioning works.
