Wall Mounting
The following are dimensions of a screw anchor and M4 tap screw used
for wall mounting. All measurements are in millimeters (mm).
1. Locate a high position on a wall that is free of obstructions. Use a
sturdy wall.
2. For a concrete or brick wall find a drill bit with the same diameter as
the screw anchors. If you do not need the screw anchors, find a drill
bit slightly smaller in diameter than the included screws.

the centers of the holes is the same as the wall-mount holes.
Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the
