Step 3 – Create and frame the wall opening
Once you determine the optimallocation for the chute, the wall opening must be cut and framed to support the chute through the wall.
Wall Construction
Frame the wall opening using the dimensions shown in Figure 8. Installation requires wood or
metal framing materials that will accept the #8 screws supplied with the system.
This illustration shows a typical 2 x 4 (1-1/2 in. [38 mm] x 3-1/2 in. [89 mm]) framing with 5/8 in. [16 mm] gypsum board construction, with all framing members (studs, header, sill members, etc.) covered so as to not be visible.
RF shield
The chute enclosure functions as RF shielding and helps prevent the system from reading RFID tags of items that may be brought near the chute but not passed through it.
Do not modify the chute enclosure. 16-7/8 in. ± 1/8 in. [429 mm ± 3 mm] 5-1/2 in. [140 mm] 19-1/2 in. [495 mm]

Step 4 – Attach the side brackets to the chute
1 Determine the mounting
orientation for the side brackets. (See Figure 9.)
2 Layout the holes required to mount the side brackets to the chute:
a Insert the chute into the opening so that the front of the chute is flush with the exterior wall.
Make sure that the chute is placed in the final
mounting position.
b Place the side bracket where it will be mounted on the chute.
The bracket should lie flush to the chute and the wall as shown in Figure 9. Thin walls may require a spacer between the wall and the bracket as shown in Figure 10.
c On the chute, mark the three holes where the bracket will be attached to the chute. d Repeat for the other side
bracket.
3 Attach the side brackets to the chute:
a Drill three 0.147 in. (#26 drill / 3.7 mm) holes in the chute in the locations marked above.
b Attach the bracket to the chute using three #8-32 thread-forming screws. c Repeat for the other side
bracket.
877_CP_013 877_CP_014
For most installations, the brackets attach to the side of the chute and the interior wall surface.
For installations with thick walls, the side brackets may be attached on the top surface of the chute and to the inside of the wall.
Figure 9: Determine the mounting orientation for the side brackets.
877_CP_015 Side view Insert #8-32 thread-forming screws from outside of chute. (6 places).
You may need to add wood spacer blocks behind brackets to align bracket holes with chute.
Step 5 – Attach the chute assembly to the wall opening
1 Insert the chute into the opening so that the front of the chute is flush with the outside surface of the
exterior wall. Inside of chute.
877_CP_017a
Front of chute is flush with opening.
2 Use three (3) #8 x 1 1/2 in. screws through holes in bottom of chute to attach the chute to the bottom of the wall opening.
877_CP_017b
3 Pull the top of the chute forward until the front of the chute is flush with the wall opening at the top and install two (2) #8 x 1-1/2 in. screws through upper holes in each side of chute.
Chute is flush with outside Of wall opening at top.
877_CP_017c
4 Install remaining two (2) #8 x 1 1/2 in. screws through lower holes in each side of the chute to complete fastening chute to wall opening.
877_CP_017d
Step 6 – Attach the two side brackets to the wall
The two side brackets help secure the chute assembly to the wall.Use six #8 x 1 ½ in. screws to attach each side bracket to the wall. Use three screws for each
bracket.
Rear view
#8 x 1-1/2 in. screws (6 places). Side bracket (2 places). 877_CP_019Step 7 – Install the faceplate
1 Apply caulk or sealant appropriate to the site to the faceplate as shown in Figure 13.
877_CP_020
Apply caulk or sealant in a continuous bead approximately 1/2 inch [13 mm] from all edges of the back of the faceplate. 1
Figure 13: Apply caulk or sealant to the faceplate as shown.
2 Use four (4) tamper-proof screws to attach the
faceplate to the exterior wall. Two sets of different length
screws (1 inch and 3 1/2-inch) are provided. Select the length required to securely attach the faceplate to the framing studs.
Make sure to align the faceplate as shown in Figure 14.
A special tool is provided to install these screws.
