TST‑902‑DSW‑WMKT Installation

Use the following procedures to install the TST‑902‑DSW‑WMKT.

NOTE: The TST-902-DSW-WMKT postconstruction wall mount kit is a TST‑902‑DSW and TST‑1080‑DSW mounting accessory that is designed for postconstruction applications where mounting hardware will be installed in an existing framed wall or similar flat surface using a mud ring.

Prepare for Installation

The following materials (not included) are required to install the TST‑902‑DSW‑WMKT postconstruction mounting kit.

  • Drywall saw (or equivalent)
  • Level

Additionally, a cutout template is provided with the TST‑902‑DSW‑WMKT that can be used when making the drywall cutout for the mounting hardware. The dimensions for the cutout template are provided below as a reference (not to scale).

Install the Mounting Kit

To install the TST‑902‑DSW‑WMKT postconstruction mounting kit:

NOTES: 

  • Ensure the chosen mounting location allows for an air gap of at least 12 in. (305 mm) in the wall cavity above and below the TST‑902‑DSW for heat dissipation.
  • The TST‑902‑DSW‑WMKT has been optimized for mounting into drywall that is 5/8 in. (15 mm) thick, though it can also be mounted into drywall that is between 1/2 in. (13 mm) to 1 in. (25 mm) thick. Attempting to mount into thinner or thicker drywall can cause installation issues.
  • Since the TST-902-DSW contains moving parts, Crestron recommends mounting it to a wall stud for more support. While Crestron offers this postconstruction wall mount kit, a preconstruction mounting option that is secured to a stud, such as the TST‑902‑DSW‑BB or TST‑902‑DSW‑PMK, is recommended instead when feasible.
  1. Choose a mounting location that is free of any wiring, studs, or other obstructions. Make a small hole in the drywall near the center of the chosen location to verify that it is suitable for mounting.
  2. Using a drywall saw (or equivalent), a level, and the provided cutout template, create a cutout in the drywall for the mounting hardware. Refer to the illustration in Prepare for Installation for cutout dimensions.
    3. NOTE: Ensure that the cutout is as level and smooth as possible before proceeding. The mounting plate allows only for minor adjustments once installed.
  3. Insert the trim ring into the drywall cutout.

  4. Route the mounting plate though the trim ring and drywall cutout carefully, and then rest the mounting plate against the interior surface of the drywall.
  5. Once the mounting plate is in the correct position, bend the top two flanges of the mud ring upward (approximately 90 degrees) and the bottom two flanges downward (approximately 90 degrees) to secure them to the rear of the drywall. Refer to the following illustration.
    6. NOTE: The mounting plate has a slight amount of play. This is normal, as it allows for minor adjustments to be made to the TST‑902‑DSW during installation.

  6. Route any wiring for the TST-902-DSW through the opening in the mounting hardware.
  7. Install the TST‑902‑DSW wall dock into the trim ring as described in Install the TST‑902‑DSW with the 6‑32 x 1‑1/2 in. screws.
