INSTALLING THE WALL HOUSING
The DMC1H and DMC1HC housings are designed for 16”
on center studs. You may encounter stud spacings that vary
from this standard.
• Use the DMC1H housing when you are replacing an
existing system with an intercom only system.
• The DMC1HC housing is used for combination
systems only – or those that include the DMC3-4
master and the optional DMCMP3 CD/MP3 player.
Locate the DMC1H or DMC1HC (combo) wall housing
between the studs (see Figures 2 & 3). The housing must
be positioned so that the transformer knockout(s) are on the
bottom of the wall housing as shown.
If you are replacing the existing master only system with a
combination DMC3-4 system with the CD/MP3 player, you
will have to cut the rough-in opening larger to accommodate
the larger wall housing. Prior to making the cutout check
the stud cavity for obstructions or items in the wall that may
prevent the transformers from fi tting in the wall.
1. Position the back side of the wall housing fl ush with the back of the
2 x 4 studs with the bottom edge approximately 59” above the fl oor
(52” above the fl oor for DMC1HC). Be sure the rectangular transformer
mounting knockout(s) are on the bottom of the wall housing.
2. Attach the wall housing to the studs with wood screws. If the studs
are spaced farther apart than 16”, use wood shims to make up the
difference. ALWAYS SECURE THE WALL HOUSING ON BOTH
SIDES.
3. On the DMC1H, install the four 1-1/2” snap-in bushings into the round
knockout holes.
