The SC-IW consists of two cabinets — the “driver module” and the “back box.” (a.k.a. the “Enclosure”). Unlike other in-wall products where a back box may be optional, the SC-IW requires both enclosures, unaltered, for every installation. In new construction situations, the back box is in installed first (for example, at the framing or rough out stage), and the driver module is installed later in the trim out stage. In retrofit situations both boxes are typically installed together. The driver mo

New Construction Installation — Standard Grille Note: This installation process assumes that the installer has access to the open framed 2x4 studded wall with 16 inch spacing. In the event that the stud spacing is larger, an additional 2x4 or other spacer can be used to fill the space between the SC-IW back box and the neighboring stud. Step 1 - Install Mudring Unpack the first carton (SC-IWBB) and place the contents on the floor. Remove the mudring from the packaging. At this time the decisi

Step 2 - Install Back Box Once the mudring is stapled into place, the back box should be installed using eight of the phillips drive flat head screws included in the package. When installing the back box, the mudring should be aligned to the white line on the cabinet. Once the mudring and the back box are aligned, install the back box as shown.

Step 3 - Route Wire Route the wire from the location where the electronics gear is located to where the SC-IW will be. There is "extra space" between the studs and the back box in the event that the wire has to pass along the side of the back box to the driver module. Figure 3: Route Wire Step 4 - Cover Rubber Couplings If the installation is not going to be finished right away, Velodyne recommends "taping" or otherwise “covering” the two connecting tubes to prevent paint, drywall and/or foreig
