Frequently Asked Questions - CBLR-USB Crestron

How far can the cable be pulled out?

The cable can be pulled out up to 3 feet (0.9 meters).

Can the retractor be installed in vertical orientation?

Yes, the retractor is shipped configured for horizontal orientation but can be easily reconfigured for vertical orientation by repositioning the neck and adding a third screw.

How many retractors can be installed in one FlipTop?

Up to three or four cable retractors can be installed depending on the FlipTop model.

Can I use non-retracting cables alongside retractors?

Yes, you can use a 2-wire insert (CBLRA-INSERT-2WIRE or FTA-CBLRA-INSERT-2WIRE-102) to accommodate additional non-retracting cables.

How do I adjust the retraction speed?

First pull the cable fully extended. Then press the retraction lever and observe the speed. If too slow or fast, reposition the knob (pulled outward) to an intermediate position and recheck.

Is the retractor compatible with all FlipTop models?

It is compatible with many Crestron FlipTop models including FT-PWR-D, C2N-FTR-TPS4, FTI-PWR-D, QM-FTCC and others. A mounting bracket table in the manual lists specific models.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a screwdriver to remove/attach screws, a drill for starter holes (if mounting to table), and possibly a small hex key for set screws.

How do I fill unused retractor slots?

Use blank inserts (CBLRA-INSERT-BLANK) to fill any unused positions. Alternatively, a 2-wire insert can be used for non-retracting cables.

Can the retractor be used with other brands?

The retractor is designed specifically for Crestron FlipTops. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.

Where can I find the full manual?

The full manual is available for free download in PDF format on notice-facile.com or from Crestron's website (Doc. 7245C).

USER MANUAL CBLR-USB Crestron

Cable Retractors for FlipTops™

Crestron® cable retractors provide a convenient cable management solution for use with most Crestron FlipTops™. This solution allows a user to simply reach into the FlipTop™ compartment and pull out any cable to the desired length. Each cable can be pulled out up to 3 feet (0.9 meter). A simple press of the easy-access lever retracts the cable back into the compartment.

Each Cressron cable refractor features a patent-pending mechanism that dampens the rate of refraction to prevent the cable from whipping as it is pulled back into the FlipTop storage compartment. The refraction speed is installer adjustable to ensure full and effortless refraction without excessive force. Up to three or four cable retractors can be installed depending on the FlipTop model. Blank inserts (CBLRA-INSERT-BLANK ^® ) are required to fill any unused positions. As an alternative to a blank insert, a 2-wire insert (CBLRA-INSERT-2WIRE ^® or FTA-CBLRA-INSERT-2WIRE-102 ^® ) is also offered to accommodate additional non-retracting cables if needed.

Preparation

Preparation consists of:

- Modifying the FlipTop assembly to accommodate the cable retractors. - Determining the desired mounting orientation. (Retractors are shipped configured for horizontal orientation, but are easily reconfigured for vertical orientation.)

NOTE. For preparation of FlipTop 600 Series models, refer to "Modify the FlipTop (FlipTop 600 Series)" in the third column on this page.

Modify the FlipTop (Non-FlipTop 600 Series) Removing Cable Guide and Lower Bar Assembly

1. 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 section ① to ensure that the mounting bracket received is appropriate for the FlipTop being modified.
2. Remove four screws C to remove the cable guide. Retain the screws to attach the two side filler plates ^4 .
3. Move the mounting bracket assembly up into position and secure using four screws A and two screws B.
4. Place the side filler plates in position and secure using four screws C.

Modify the FlipTop (FlipTop 600 Series)

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

1. Remove the screw holding the cable guide in place, then remove the cable guide.
2. Remove the screws holding the cable pass-through bracket in place, 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 Retractors for Vertical Operation

To reconfigure the retractors for vertical orientation, refer to the illustration below and do the following:
1. Remove the two screws D, one from each side of the retractor, attaching the neck in the horizontal orientation.
2. Reposition the neck as shown in the vertical orientation view and attach using the two screws D plus a third screw E (1/4 in, 6-32, flathead, supplied) to secure the neck in that position.

For regulatory compliance information, refer to Doc. 7475.

Adjustments

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

1. Adjust retractor tension by loosening the top thumb screw enough to enable pulling or pushing the adjacent cable end to align the red screw with the label arrow.
2. Adjust cable retraction speed by first pulling the knob outward and moving it to the VERT or HORZ position to match the configuration of the retractor arms.
   a. Pull the cable (plug end) out so it is fully extended.
   b. Press the retraction lever 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.

Adjusting Retractor Tension and Retraction Speed

Assembly

Assembly consists of:

- Attaching the cable retractors to the FlipTop box

- Attaching the horizontal mounting bracket and connecting the retractor arms for horizontal orientation

During the following procedures, refer to the accompanying illustrations.

NOTE: For assembly of FlipTop 600 Series models, refer to "Attach Cable Retractors to the FlipTop (FlipTop 600 Series)" in the third column on this page.

Attach Cable Retractors to the FlipTop (Non-FlipTop 600 Series)

1. Insert the necks of the refractors 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 through each item being mounted until it protrudes through the opposite side of the assembly.
2. Insert the supplied hairpin cotter pin into the hole in the clevis pin to secure it.
3. Tighten the screws in the neck assemblies so they are just snug against the clevis pin. (Shown in "Attach the Horizontal Mounting Bracket" on page 3.)

Attach the Horizontal Mounting Bracket

1. Rotate the retractor arms up to the underside of the table, and position the horizontal mounting bracket so the slots are aligned with the attachment holes in the retractor arms. Carefully use the horizontal mounting bracket as a template to mark the position of the two screw holes.
2. Drill starter holes for the screws, and use the two screws provided to attach the mounting bracket to the table.

NOTE: Make certain the provided screws are not longer than the thickness of the table top. If necessary, use shorter screws

1. Rotate the retractor arms into position and insert the supplied clevis pin through the horizontal mounting bracket and the holes in the retractor arms. Insert the supplied hairpin cotter pin into the hole in the clevis pin to secure it
