Install Mounting Brackets on the EchoSystem SafeCapture HD

Overview

The mounting brackets may be used to mount the Echo360 SafeCapture HD (the capture appliance) in several configurations. This document describes how to install the mounting brackets that let you:

• Mount the capture appliance in a rack
• Suspend it from a tabletop or shelf

Rack Mount Configuration

To mount the capture appliance in an A/V rack, you must first install the mounting brackets. Follow these steps.

Tools

• A #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Proper rack clips and screws for your A/V rack. Please contact your A/V rack supplier. Echo360 does not supply these items.
• The rack mount kit that came in the packing box with the capture appliance. It contains two mounting brackets and eight screws.

Installation

1. Remove the four plastic "stacking" feet from the bottom of the unit. Each foot is secured with one screw. You will not need the screws and feet for this mounting configuration but may wish to save them.
   
2. Place the capture appliance on a flat surface, facing front.
3. Remove the four screws on each side of the enclosure (eight screws total). You will not need the screws for this mounting configuration but may wish to save them.
   
4. Find the eight long screws provided in the rack mount kit. Use these screws to attach one mounting bracket to each side.
   
5. Compare the finished capture appliance with the picture. Notice that the mounting brackets are parallel with the front panel.
   
6. Install the capture appliance in the A/V rack.

Suspended Mounting

You might want to attach the capture appliance to the bottom of a table or lectern. For these types of installations, where the device will be suspended, Echo360 recommends that you:

• Install a second set of mounting brackets to the rear mounting location in addition to the front mounting location. This suspends the capture appliance on four secure and supportive mounting points. Purchase the Secondary Mounting Bracket Kit (part number ES-HW-BRACKET) from Echo360 or your dealer.
• Do not use the keyhole slots in the bottom of the plastic "stackable" feet. The stackable feet are not strong enough to properly support the appliance.
• Mount the appliance to a substrate with adequate strength to support 15 lbs (6.8 kgs) of weight. Drywall is not an adequate mounting surface. Acceptable substrates include:
  • Plywood, 1/2" minimum thickness. Pre-drill mounting holes.
  • Particle board or MDF, 3/4" minimum thickness. Pre-drill mounting holes.
  • 12 gauge steel. Use machine screws with proper nuts.

This mounting method allows you to place the capture appliance in non-standard locations. It is especially important that you adhere to the safety instructions. Be sure the capture appliance is not exposed to spilled or dripping liquids.

Tools

• A #2 Phillips screwdriver
• The rack mount kit that came in the packing box with the capture appliance. It contains two mounting brackets and eight screws.
• The Secondary Mounting Bracket Kit (part number ES-HW-BRACKET) from Echo360 or your dealer. This kit contains two mounting brackets and eight screws.
• Eight pan-head screws with a 1/2" (12.5mm) or 5/8" (7.9mm) diameter body, at least 3/4" (19mm) long. You must use a screw with a pan-head that is at least 1/2" (12.5mm) in diameter, or a smaller screw head with a suitable panel washer. You will need two screws for each bracket.

Installation

1. Remove the four plastic "stacking" feet from the bottom of the unit. Each foot is secured with one screw. You will not need the screws and feet for this mounting configuration but may wish to save them.
   
2. Place the capture appliance on a flat surface, facing front.
3. Remove eight screws from each side of the appliance: four from the front and four from the rear. You will not need the screws for this mounting configuration but may wish to save them.
   
4. Find the eight long screws in the rack mount kit and the eight long screws in the Secondary Rack Mounting Bracket Kit. Use these long screws to attach one mounting bracket to each corner.
   
5. Compare the finished capture appliance with the picture. In this example, the mounting brackets are parallel with the top panel of the appliance. The mounting brackets can also be parallel with the bottom panel.
   
6. Mount the capture appliance. Use both screw holes in each of the brackets to ensure that the appliance is securely mounted. Use the eight 5/16" screws (and optional washers).
