Mounting

ATTENTION:

The touchpanels can be wall mounted using the provided hardware. Where local codes require a rear metal enclosure, either model can be mounted using the Extron BB 700M (not provided). Figure 1 shows the TLP Pro 1525MG. Mount the TLP Pro 1225MG or TLP Pro 1725MG in the same way.

With a wall box

Some local building codes require the touchpanel to be mounted in a wall box such as the Extron BB 700M. This installation procedure is described below.

1. Cut a hole in the drywall, 9.6 inches (243 mm) wide x 6.6 inches (166 mm) high, and install the BB 700M (see figure 1, ①), as described in the BB 700M Installation Guide (see www.extron.com).

2. Place the metal mounting plate against the wall, mark the four mounting holes, and drill four pilot holes (②) in those locations.

3. Secure the mounting plate with four #10 screws (③).

4. Run and connect cables to the back of the touchpanel (④, and see Rear Panel Features on page 4).

5. Insert the two provided Phillips pan head #6-32 x 3/4 inch length screws with washers in the mounting screw slot (⑤, see figure 1, Back View inset). Leave a gap for the flange at the bottom of the mounting plate to fit into.

6. Hold the touchpanel at a slight angle and lower the notches at the top of the back panel over the hooks of the mounting plate (6).

7. Swing the bottom of the touchpanel inwards so that it lies flat against the mounting plate with the flange at the bottom of the mounting plate sitting in a groove in the bottom of the touchpanel.

8. Secure the touchpanel to the mounting plate with the mounting screws (7).

Without a wall box

If the wall box is not required by local building codes, you can mount the touchpanel directly into drywall.

1. Download the cut-out template for your touchpanel from www.extron.com. Print it at 100% (no scaling).

2. Use the template to mark the wall, cut the hole, and drill the four pilot holes. The size of the cut-out hole is 9.25 inches (235 mm) wide x 6.25 inches (159 mm) high.

3. Secure the mounting plate and complete the installation, as described in steps 3 through 8 above.
