Installation Guide

Follow these steps for a hassle-free installation. A drill is required.

1. Pre-Installation Checks

  • Wall Depth: Ensure your wall is at least 2.8 inches deep to accommodate the modules.
  • Studs and Obstructions: Use a stud finder to locate wall studs and avoid drilling into them. Also, check for any electrical wires or pipes behind the wall where you plan to install.
  • Placement: Determine the desired locations for the upper and lower power modules. The distance between the modules should not exceed 59 inches, which is the length of the included power cables.

2. Drill Holes

  1. Attach the hole saw drill attachment to your drill.
  2. Secure the cutting template to the wall at your marked locations.
  3. Place the dust bag below the cutting area to collect debris.
  4. Carefully drill a hole through the drywall at both the upper and lower marked positions.

Operation

Once installed, the Perlegear In-Wall Cable Management Kit operates passively. It provides a secure and hidden pathway for your power and low-voltage cables. Simply connect your devices to the appropriate outlets and ports, and the cables will remain concealed within the wall cavity.

Maintenance

The cable management kit requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check the connections to ensure they remain secure. Dust the visible parts of the modules as needed. Avoid applying excessive force to the modules or cables, as this may cause damage.

Troubleshooting

  • Cables not fitting: Ensure you are using appropriate cable sizes. The module is designed for standard TV plugs up to 1.125 inches.
  • Plug not sitting flush: Some larger or angled plugs may not sit completely flush within the recessed module. This is a design consideration for accommodating various plug types while maintaining a low profile. If a flush fit is critical for your setup, consider alternative low-profile plugs or adapters.
