How to Install Chief Proximity In-Wall Storage Box with Flange

• Plan the installation: Determine the best location behind your wall-mounted display, ensuring there is enough cavity space for the box and the cables you intend to route. Verify that the wall structure can accommodate the flange and mounting requirements.
• Prepare the wall opening: Mark and cut the wall opening according to the PAC525F specifications to create a recessed cavity that accommodates the storage box while leaving room for the flange to sit flush with the surface.
• Route cables: Thread HDMI, power, and data cables through the opening and into the recessed area, keeping power and signal lines organized and separated to minimize interference and ensure a clean installation once the box is in place.
• Mount surge protector/power conditioner: Place the surge protector or power conditioner inside the recessed cavity, securing it in a stable position to prevent movement and protect connected equipment behind the display.
• Attach the flange and finalize: Align the flange with the wall surface, stabilizing it within the cutout so that it sits flush with the drywall. Secure the box and flange according to local building codes and Chief mounting recommendations, then route remaining cables neatly and reassemble the wall plate or display mount as needed.
