Install the Alpha endpoint
(Rough-in)
1. Run wire to future device locations such as cameras,
speakers, exterior temp sensors, light sensors or similar.
2. Select your XBracket
Smooth bracket: siding and Hardie board
Edge bracket: stucco and plaster
Smooth bracket
mounts Alpha endpoint into
siding or Hardie board
Edge bracket
mounts Alpha endpoint into
stucco or plaster
Mount the
bracket
(Rough-in)
1. After selecting an optimum location, drill a 1" (25.4 mm) round hole. The Xbracket and Alpha should always mount in the second to last major surface just behind siding or stucco (tyvek like coverings don’t count, foam board does)
2, Pull wire through the hole
3. Feed wire through back of Xbracket
4. Attach wire to Xspot Alpha and snap into the XBracket
5. Insert Xbracket and Alpha into 1" hole, leaving enough slack back inside the wall to pull out later and trim out component
6. Wire is now safely inside the wall out of the way of other trades

3. Make a mark at each of the inside corners of the Xcentric centering tool. *pulls to within 1/4 inch of the Alpha's location
4. Drill a 1 inch hole in the center of the marks.
