Site Preparation
Gen eral Sit e C on si der at i on s
The first step is to locate an acceptable site for the common equipment
(KSUs , b oard s, etc.). Whe n locating a moun ting s ite for the KS Us, the
following p oints must be cons idered.
†The KSUs are de sig ned for wall mounting and should not b e
mount ed dir ec tl y t o a mas onr y or pl as te rboa rd wal l. I t is
recommen ded th at a 1/2 inch plywood b ack b oard be firmly
mounted to the wall, and the KSU and MDF, if other than the MDF, be
mount ed to the ba ck boa rd.
†The l ocati on must have a cce ss to a d edi cat ed 11 0 Volt A C ( ±1 0% ), 60
Hz , si ngl e-p hase c ir c uit wi th a c ir c uit br eak er or f use r at ed a t 1 5 amps .
A 3- wire (paralle l blade grounde d outle t should b e within
app roximately 6 feet of the lower lef t rear of the BKSU mounting.
†The l ocati on must have a cce ss to a g ood e ar t h gr ound, s uch as a
metallic cold water pipe with no non-metallic joints. The ground
source should be located as close as possible to the system.
†The sys te m s hould be lo ca te d i n an ar ea whic h is wel l ven ti la te d wi th

existing cabling is to be used, the location of existing cabling and
conduits should be considered.
†Protection from flooding, flamm able materia ls, excessive dus t a nd
vi bra ti on.
†The site should be away from radio transmitting equipment, arc-
welding devices, copying machines and other electrical equipment
tha t ar e ca pabl e of ge ne rat i ng e le ctr i cal int er f er ence s. O pe ra ti on of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in
which case the user, at their own expense, are required to take
what eve r mea sur es may be re qui re d t o c or re c t the i nt er fe re nc e.

Back- Board In st all at i on
A wooden ba ck-boa rd is recommended for a ll installa tions and m ust be
ins ta lled when the location ha s ma sonry or plasterboa rd walls. A 1/2 in ch
plywood m aterial is sufficient for mos t ins ta llations . T he back- board
should be mounted at a convenient height, about 3 feet above the floor

Ver if y O n- Site Equ ipmen t
Once the e quipme nt ins ta llation s ite has bee n identifie d a nd a dedicated
AC outlet, earth ground, and lighting and ventilation are available, verify
that all equipment required is on-site and has not been damaged during
shipme nt. Unpa ck the KSUs to as sure the re is no shipping d amag e. Note
tha t a m ounti ng t e mpl at e i s packe d wi t h e ach KS U and t his te mpl at e is
required later in the installation. Check that the type and quantity of
boards receive is correct and optional equipment and a Power Line Surge
Protector are on-site. Note that the individual boards should NOT be
