Tread Audio Box Mounting Considerations
CAUTION
In high ambient temperatures and after extended use, the device enclosure may reach temperatures deemed
dangerous to touch. Therefore, you must install the device in a location where it is not touched during operation.
NOTICE
The storage and operating temperature ranges for this device are listed in the product specifications. Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions,
may cause device failure. Device damage and related consequences caused by extended exposure to these
conditions are not covered by the warranty.
• You must mount the device in a location with adequate ventilation where it is not exposed to extreme
temperatures.
• You should mount the device so that the cables can be connected easily.
• To achieve IP67 water ingress protection and optimal heat sink cooling, you must mount the device on a
vertical surface with the connectors pointing downward.
• You can mount the device on a horizontal surface, but such positioning might not achieve IPX67 water
ingress protection.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, you should install the device at least 203 mm (8 in.) away
from a compass.
Mounting the Tread Audio Box Black Box Device
Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting location, and determine what screws and other
mounting hardware are needed for the surface.
1 Place the black box device in the mounting location, and mark the location of the pilot holes.
2 Drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.
3 Loosely fasten the device to the mounting surface with one corner, and examine the other three pilot-hole
marks.
4 Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary, and remove the device from the mounting surface.
5 Drill the remaining pilot holes.
6 Secure the device to the mounting location.
Connections
The stereo must be connected to power, to speakers, and to media input sources to function correctly. You
should carefully plan the layout of the stereo, speakers, and your input sources before making any connections.
