Opti-V Installation

WARNING: ANY

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE

WORK CAN ONLY BE

PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED AND

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. ALL

INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY

WITH ALL LOCAL CODES AND

BYLAWS, AND INSPECTED AND

APPROVED FOR OPERATION BY

LOCAL GOVERNING AUTHORITY

PRIOR TO USE.

WARNING: Construction and

electrical outlet wiring must comply

with local building codes and other

applicable regulations to reduce the

risk of re, electric shock and injury

to persons.

Locating the Opti-V

The Opti-V uses an illusory reection

technique and is designed to work

best when ambient light levels

are low. If the Opti-V is installed

in brightly lit areas, the strong

reections may diminish the ame.

Depending on your specic

application, installation of the unit

at a height appropriate for the

viewers enjoyment is important. It

is recommended that the following

guidelines be used for locating the

unit.

NOTE: Measurements are to

the bottom of the viewing area

of the ame.

For standing applications:

Maximum - 51" (129.5 cm)

Minimum - 26" (66.0 cm)

For sitting applications:

Maximum - 36" (91.4 cm)

Minimum - 26" (66.0 cm)

Hardwire Installation

The Opti-V is supplied in an

assembled state and is designed

to be permanently installed. The

unit comes ready for hardwire

installation.

WARNING: Do not attempt

to wire your own new outlets or

circuits. To reduce the risk of re,

electric shock or injury to persons,

always use a licensed electrician.

WARNING: Ensure that the

On/O󰀨 switch is set to the O󰀨

position (refer to Operation section)

and that the circuit on which the

Opti-V is to be installed has the

power cut o󰀨 at the service panel

until installation is complete.

NOTE: Please read all

instructions before installing.

Opti-V Installation

2. Allow up to 4 ft. (121.9 cm) of

service cable for connecting a

power supply wire to the cable

clamp on the Opti-V when

installing before nishing wall.

NOTE: A 15 amp, 120 volt

alternating current (VAC) circuit

is recommended, but the unit is

constructed that it can operate

using voltages from 120-

240VAC.

NOTE: Use minimum 14 AWG

supply cable with two insulated

copper conductors (white and

black) and one bare ground

wire. Do not use cable with

aluminum conductors.

NOTE: It is recommended

that all drywall installation and

nishing be completed after

unit is fully installed.

3. In the upper left hand corner

of the unit, loosen the two

securing screws and remove

the electrical cover panel.

(Figure 2)

4. Install a ⅜ in. (10 mm) or ½in.

(13 mm) cable connector, not

included, suitable for mounting

in a ⅞ in. (22 mm) hole, to

the cable plate and feed the

supply cable through the

connector and secure.

5. Place the unit in the framed

opening, level with shims if

necessary and attach unit to

frame using mounting anges

provided (Figure 3).

Opti-V Installation

CAUTION: When inserting the

unit take care not to damage or

pinch any of the power cables

that are concealed in the wall.

6. Remove the outer jacket and

strip the individual conductors

½ in. (1.3 cm) from the end.

7. Connect the black wire from

the unit to the Live (120V) or

Line 1 (240V) wire from the

power supply using a wire

connector (included).

8. Connect the white wire from

the unit to the Neutral (120V)

or Line 2 (240V) from the

power supply using a wire

connector (included).

NOTE: Cap any additional

wires from the power supply

not used in the installation.

9. Ensure that the green

grounding wire is securely

attached to the back plate.

CAUTION: Ensure the wire

connectors are securely

tightened, so no bare wires

(live or neutral) are exposed.

10. Ensure the grounding wire of

the supply cable is securely

attached to the grounding

screw.

NOTE: The wire connections

on the Opti-V feed into a

3-prong plug just below the

electrical cavity opening, before

closing the electrical cover

ensure that the plug is fully

installed.

11. Reinstall the electrical cover

panel.

12. Reinstall the protector sheet

to prevent dust from entering

the unit while nishing the

surround.

13. Finish surrounding wall. There

are 3 di󰀨erent options for

nishing the wall:

• Permanent - install drywall

right up to the ange that

surrounds the opening.

• Semi Permanent - nish

around edge using ashing

material (not included)

• Flexible - create opening big

enough to access mounting

anges and a false front that

can be removed.
