Mounting of multiple devices in a row

The mounting brackets can be fitted into each other by means of lateral pins. This stabilises the fit of the brackets and eliminates the need to drill holes in the rear wall.

▶ Attach the first mounting bracket to the rear wall.
▶ Insert further mounting brackets into each other via the lateral pins (3) and holes (4).
▶ Attach the other mounting brackets to the rear wall with one or two drill holes as required.
▶ Place the device onto the attachment pins (1) of the mounting bracket and push it downwards until it locks into place.

Additional stabilisation may be required for a long row of devices:

▶ Guide an M4 threaded suspension rod (not included) through the recess (5). Tighten both sides using a washer and a nut.
