Frequently Asked Questions - CBLR2-HD Crestron

How do I install the CBLR2-HD retractors in a FlipTop 600 Series?

Remove the cable guide and cable pass-through bracket, then insert the retractor necks and secure with shoulder screws. Tighten set screws.

Can the retractors be used horizontally?

Yes. Reconfigure by removing four screws (E), repositioning the neck to horizontal, and reattaching the screws.

How do I adjust cable retraction speed?

Pull the knob outward, move to VERT or HORIZ position matching retractor orientation, then pull cable fully and again to test speed. Adjust knob position if needed.

What is the maximum cable length?

The cable length is not specified but typical retractors accommodate up to 1.5 meters.

Are there different retractor models for vertical and horizontal?

Yes. Models CBLH2-DP-V and CBLH2-DP-H are dedicated to vertical and horizontal orientation respectively.

What tools are needed for installation?

A screwdriver (likely Phillips) for removing and attaching screws. Exact size not specified.

Can I install multiple retractors in one FlipTop?

Yes, up to the number of available slots. Use blank inserts (CBLRA-INSERT-BLANK) for empty slots.

How do I adjust retractor tension?

Loosen the top thumb screw, then push or pull the adjacent cable end. Align the red screw with the label arrow.

Is the CBLR2-HD compatible with all FlipTop models?

It is compatible with FlipTop 600 Series and standard models listed in the manual, but not all models are supported. Check the mounting bracket table.

USER MANUAL CBLR2-HD Crestron

Cable Retractors for FlipTops™

DO Prepare the FlipTop

Preparation of the Crestron® FlipTop™ consists of the following:

- Modifying the FlipTop assembly to accommodate the cable retractors

- Determining the desired mounting orientation (Retractors are shipped configured for vertical

orientation, but are easily reconfigured for horizontal orientation.)

NOTE: The CBLR2-DP-V and CBLR2-DP-H models are dedicated to vertical and horizontal

orientation, respectively.

NOTE: For preparation of the FlipTop 600 Series models, refer to "Modify the FlipTop (FlipTop 600

Series Models).”

Modify the FlipTop (Excludes FlipTop 600 Series Models)

. Remove four screws (A) to detach the lower bar assembly. Also remove two screws (B). Retain screws A and B to attach the FlipTop mounting bracket assembly. Refer to the FlipTop mounting brackets table provided in the "DO Check the Accessories" section on the next page to ensure that the mounting bracket received is appropriate for the FlipTop being modified.

1. Remove four screws (C) to detach the cable guide. Retain the screws to attach the two side filler plates (sold separately).

1. Move the mounting bracket assembly up into position and secure it using four screws (A) and two screws (B) removed in step 1.

1. Position the side filler plates and secure them using four screws (C).

Modify the FlipTop (FlipTop 600 Series Models)

Retractors can be installed in both the left and right sides of the FlipTop 600 Series models.

1. Remove the screw (C) holding the cable guide in place, and then remove the cable guide.

2. Remove the screws (D) holding the cable pass-through bracket in place, and then remove the cable pass-through bracket.

3. Remove the shoulder screws from the front of the unit. Save these as they are used in retractor installation.

Reconfigure the Retractors for Horizontal Operation

NOTE: The CBLR2-DP-V and CBLR2-DP-H models are dedicated to vertical and horizontal

orientation, respectively.

To reconfigure the retractors for horizontal orientation, refer to the following illustrations and perform these steps:

1. Remove the four screws (E), two from each side of the retractor, that attach the neck in the vertical orientation.

1. Reposition the neck as shown in the horizontal orientation view and attach it using the four screws (E) to secure the neck in that position.

DO Adjust the Retractor

Once the retractor arm configuration is set, refer to the following illustration and adjust the retractor arm tension and cable retraction speed as follows:

1. Adjust the retractor tension by loosening the top thumb screw enough to enable pulling or pushing of the adjacent cable end. Align the red screw with the label arrow.

2. Adjust the cable retraction speed.

a. Pull the knob outward and move it to the VERT or HORZ position to match the configuration of the retractor arms.
b. Pull the cable (plug end) out so it is fully extended.
c. Pull the cable a second time to cause it to retract, and observe the speed of the cable retraction. If it is too slow or too fast, reposition the knob to an intermediate position and recheck.

DO Attach the Retractors

The final assembly consists of attaching the cable retractors to the FlipTop box.

During the following procedures, refer to the accompanying illustrations.

Attach the Cable Retractors to the FlipTop (Excludes FlipTop 600 Series Models)

1. Insert the necks of the retractors and any included spacers up and into the mounting bracket assembly until they engage the frame of the assembly.
2. Carefully slide the clevis pin through the hole in the side of the mounting bracket assembly and then through each item being mounted until it protrudes through the opposite side of the assembly.
3. Insert the supplied hairpin cotter pin into the hole in the clevis pin.
4. Tighten the screws in the neck assemblies so they are just snug against the clevis pin.

Attach the Cable Retractors to the FlipTop (FlipTop 600 Series Models)

1. Insert the necks of the retractors into the FlipTop until they engage the frame of the assembly.
2. Insert the shoulder screws into the front of the FlipTop.
3. Tighten each individual set screw on the retractors.
