  • Decide where the FPC 6000 will be mounted.

  • Use the four provided rack-mounting screws to secure the FPC 6000 to any standard equipment rack or control console. Follow the instructions in the "Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Guidelines for Rack Mounting" (see the next page) to ensure the rack is mounted safely.

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Guidelines for Rack Mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of the FPC 6000 in a rack:

  • Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +104 °F, +40 °C) specified by Extron.
  • Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe operation.
  • Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.
  • Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
  • Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Wall Mounting the FPC 6000

The FPC 6000 can also be wall-mounted, either using the Extron BB 700M wall box or directly into drywall. Some local building codes require the touchpanel to be mounted in a wall box. To use the BB 700M, see the TLP Pro 1220MG, TLP Pro 1520MG, and TLP Pro 1720MG Setup Guide, at www.extron.com. If the wall box is not required by local building codes, you can mount the touchpanel directly into drywall.

ATTENTION:

  • Do not install the FPC 6000 in a fire resistant rated wall or partition assembly.
  • Ne pas installer le FPC 6000 dans un mur résistant au feu ou une cloison.
  • All structural steps and electrical installation must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local and national building codes and electrical codes.
  • Toute étape structurelle et installation électrique, doit être effectuée par un personnel qualifié, conformément aux codes du bâtiment, aux codes incendie et sécurité, et aux codes électriques, locaux et nationaux.

  • Download the cut-out template for the TLP Pro 1520MG from www.extron.com. Print it at 100% (no scaling).

  • Use the template to mark the wall, cut the hole, and drill the four pilot holes (see figure 3, ①). The size of the cut-out hole is 8.90 inches (22.61 cm) wide x 5.70 inches (14.48 cm) high.
  • The FPC 6000 ships, already mounted, in a rackmountable metal panel. Remove the FPC 6000, and unscrew the mounting plate from the panel.
  • Secure the mounting plate to the mounting surface with four #10 screws (②). The installer must use screws and fasteners that are appropriate for the mounting surface.
  • Run and connect cables to the back of the touchpanel (③, see Rear Panel Features on page 10).
  • Insert the two provided Phillips pan head #6-32 x 3/4-inch length screws with washers in the mounting screw slot (4). 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 (5).
  • 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 (6).
  • Secure the touchpanel to the mounting plate with the mounting screws (⑦).

The Display screen allows you to set the Sleep Timer, Auto Brightness, LCD Brightness, and Wake on Motion.

  • Sleep Timer — Determines how long the panel is inactive before it enters sleep mode, when the screen goes dark to save power. Toggle between On and Off. If the sleep timer is on, use the arrows to adjust the value between 1 and 120 minutes.
  • Test Pattern — Allows you to go through a series of test patterns to check for dead or stick pixels.
  • Auto Brightness — Provides a suitable amount of backlighting that is automatically calculated from the amount of ambient light detected by the light sensor (see figure 4, © on page 9).
    • LCD Brightness — Allows you to adjust the screen brightness, using the slider control.
  • Wake on Motion — Activates the panel from Sleep mode when motion is detected near the unit. Toggle between On and Off.

Configuring the Motion Sensor

The Motion Sensor (see figure 4, F) detects motion between three to five feet from the touchpanel, and at least 15° from the center axis.

  • If the Sleep Timer has been set and no motion has been detected for a user-defined period of time, the touchpanel enters sleep mode.
    • If the Sleep Timer has not been set, the touchpanel does not enter sleep mode.
  • If Wake on Motion has been set and motion is detected by the sensor while the screen is in sleep mode, the screen display is restored and active.
  • If Wake on Motion has not been set and the screen is in sleep mode, touch the screen to restore it to an active state.

NOTE: The number of input and output buttons that are available reflects the number of inputs and outputs on the matrix switcher to which the FPC 6000 is connected.

The FPC 6000 has five screens: the Connect (login) screen and four main screens. These are Ties, Status, I/O Info, and Customize. Five menu buttons on the left side of the screen (see figure 23, A on the previous page) allow you to navigate to the desired screen by pressing the appropriate button. These buttons are available on all FPC 6000 screens, and the currently selected button has a colored edge.

Input Buttons

The screen has two blocks of numbered buttons. The buttons on the left correspond to the matrix switcher inputs. The buttons on the right correspond to the matrix switcher outputs.

Before you make any ties, the input buttons (B) have a gray rectangle in the top right corner. The number in that rectangle corresponds to the number of the input on the switcher. When an input is selected, the button lights up.

Extron FPC 6000 - Input Buttons - 1

text_image

Input # Input

Input # Input

Figure 24. Selected and Unselected Inputs

The button also contains the name of the input. By default, this is Input XXX, where XXX is the same as the number in the top right corner of the button. Buttons can be renamed using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands (see the matrix switcher user guide for instructions) and through the PCS.

The FPC 6000 screen shows 20 inputs at a time. Use the scroll bar to the right of the inputs to navigate through all the inputs that are available with your matrix switcher.

NOTES:

  • When selected, the button lights up.
    • After 30 seconds with no front panel activity, all buttons time out.
  • After 3 minutes with no front panel activity, the panel enters power saving mode. The touchpanel becomes active again when it detects motion in front of the screen. (This timeout can be changed.)

Output Buttons

Before you make any ties, the output buttons (E) have a gray rectangle in the top right corner. The number in that rectangle corresponds to the number of the output on the switcher. When an output is selected, the button lights up. If the output is tied to an input, then the corresponding input button also lights up.

Figure 25. Selected and Unselected Outputs

The button also contains the name of the output. By default, this is Output XXX, where XXX is the same as the number in the top right corner of the button. Buttons can be renamed using SIS commands (see the matrix switcher user guide for instructions) and through the PCS.

The FPC 6000 screen shows 20 outputs at a time. Use the scroll bar to the right of the outputs to navigate through all the outputs that are available with your matrix switcher.

The button also provides information about the mute status of the output (see figure 26 on page 26).

Use the Mute/Unmute button (see figure 23, H on page 24) to change the mute status of an output that has been selected.

NOTES:

  • When selected, the button lights up.
    • After 30 seconds with no front panel activity, all buttons time out.
  • After 3 minutes with no front panel activity, the panel enters saving mode. The touchpanel becomes active again when it detects motion in front of the screen. (This timeout can be changed.)

Signal Selection Buttons

These buttons (G) are designed to select the matrix signal type being controlled. The user can decide to switch all signals (Video, Audio and USB) together, or select single or multiple signal types for breakaway switching.

NOTE: FOX3 USB breakaway switching requires a Matrix LinkLicense.

Mute/Unmute Button

When you select an output button, the mute/unmute button (H) becomes active. This button allows you to mute both the video and audio being sent to the selected output.

When you mute the audio and video, the output button shows a diagonal line through the audio and video icons (compare unmuted output 1 and muted output 2 in figure 26).

Presets

The configuration that is currently being used by the matrix switcher is the current configuration (or Configuration 0). Extron matrix switchers allow you to save commonly used configurations as presets, which can be recalled. Once they are recalled, they become the current configuration, replacing the configuration that was being used.

Global and Room Presets

There are two types of presets:

  • Global preset
  • Room preset

Global Preset

When a configuration is stored as a global preset, all active inputs and the outputs tied to them are saved. The number of global presets supported depends on the matrix switcher model. FOX 3200 models support up to 32 global presets. Other FOX models support up to 64 global presets. When a global preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.

Room Preset

A room consists of a small subset of virtual outputs that are logically related to each other. They do not have to be literally in the same room. They are grouped together for the convenience of the operator.

Rooms and room presets can be recalled but cannot be created with the FPC 6000. They must be created by SIS commands sent from a PC to the switcher (see the user guide for your matrix switcher).

  • Depending on the model, Extron matrix switchers can support up to 10 rooms.
    • Each room can have 1 to 16 virtual outputs.
    • Each room can have up to 10 presets.

A room preset consists of virtual outputs in a single room that have been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.

Saving Presets

Rooms and room presets must be saved using SIS commands (see the matrix switcher user guide for instructions).

To save a global preset follow these instructions:

  1. Create one or more sets of ties (see Create a Tie on page 27).
  2. Open the Presets menu (see figure 36 on page 32).
  3. Press Save As... The SAVING PRESET menu opens (see image on the right):

Reset Modes

The FPC 6000 has four reset modes that are initiated by pressing the Reset button:

• Use Factory Firmware
- Reset All IP Settings
- Reset to Factory Defaults
- Enable or Disable the DHCP Client

The Reset button is found on the rear panel (see figure 5, B on page 10).

Use Factory Firmware

This mode is used to boot up the unit with factory-installed firmware for a single power cycle in the event of a firmware update that failed or incompatibility issues arising with user-loaded firmware.

Activation

To start the Use Factory Firmware reset mode and replace firmware:

  1. Remove power from the touchpanel.
  2. On the touchpanel, hold down the recessed Reset button (see figure 5, B) while re-applying power to the unit. When power is restored, the Reset LED lights. Hold the Reset button for a further two seconds before releasing it. The touchpanel enters factory firmware mode.
  3. Upload new firmware to the unit as desired (see Updating Firmware Using the Touchpanel Web Page on page 21).

NOTE: Do not continue to operate the touchpanel using the factory firmware version. If you want to use the factory default firmware, you must upload that version again.

Result

The unit reverts to factory-installed firmware. Event scripting does not start if the unit is powered on in this mode. All user files and settings such as drivers, adjustments, and IP settings are maintained.

NOTE: To return the unit to the firmware version that was running prior to the reset, cycle power to the unit.

The login screen opens with the message Project Not Running.

The FPC 6000 cannot be accessed from the front panel.

The FPC 6000 IP address has not been changed. Use a PC to open the FPC 6000 web page and reinstall the latest firmware (see Updating Firmware Using the Touchpanel Web Page). Once the firmware is installed, the FPC 6000 will function normally.

Reset All IP Settings

This mode resets all IP settings to factory defaults.

Activation

To reset all IP settings:

  1. Hold down the Reset button (see figure 5, B, on page 10) for about 6 seconds until the Power LED blinks twice (once at 3 seconds and again at 6 seconds).
  2. Release and press Reset momentarily (for <1 second) within 1 second. Nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second.

Result

Reset All IP Settings mode:

  • Sets the IP address back to factory default (192.168.254.251).
  • Sets the subnet back to factory default (255.255.255.0).
  • Sets the default gateway address to the factory default (0.0.0.0).
  • Sets all other IP settings, addresses, and domain and host names back to factory default.
  • Turns DHCP off.

The screen goes black with a message Project Not Running. The FPC 6000 cannot be accessed from the front panel and the IP address has been changed.

Press the rear panel Menu button (see figure 5, © on page 10). Use the Network page of the Setup menu (see page 14) to reset the IP address.

Once the IP address has been reset, use a PC to open the FPC 6000 web page and reinstall the latest firmware (see Updating Firmware Using the Touchpanel Web Page on page 21). Once the firmware is installed, the FPC 6000 functions normally.

Reset to Factory Defaults

This mode resets all IP settings and touchpanel settings to factory defaults and removes all configurations. It allows you to start over with configuration and uploading.

Activation

To reset the unit to all factory default settings:

  1. Hold down the Reset button for about 9 seconds until the Power LED blinks three times (once at 3 seconds, again at 6 seconds, and again at 9 seconds).
  2. Release and press Reset momentarily (for < 1 second) within 1 second. Nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second.

Result

Reset to Factory Defaults mode performs a complete reset to factory defaults (except the firmware):

  • Does everything Reset All IP Settings mode does.
  • Removes touchpanel user interface layout and configurations.
  • Resets all touchpanel settings to factory default.
  • Resets passwords to default

NOTES:

  • The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number. Passwords are case sensitive.
  • If the device is reset to default settings, the password is the default password configuration. The default password is extron.
  • To change the password, you must use the Extron Toolbelt utility (see the Toolbelt Help File). Talk to your Extron rep about obtaining a license for Toolbelt.

The screen goes black with a message Project Not Running. The FPC 6000 cannot be accessed from the front panel and the IP address has been changed.

Press the rear panel Menu button (see figure 5, © on page 10). Use the Network page of the Setup menu (see page 14) to reset the IP address.

Once the IP address has been reset, use a PC to open the FPC 6000 web page and reinstall the latest firmware (see Updating Firmware Using the Touchpanel Web Page on page 21).

Once the firmware is installed, the FPC 6000 functions normally.

Enable or Disable the DHCP Client

This mode toggles between DHCP enabled and DHCP disabled. This can also be carried out from the Network screen of the see Setup Menu on page 13.

Activation

To enable or disable the DHCP client for the LAN port:

  1. Press the RESET button five times (consecutively).
  2. Release the button. Do not press the button within 3 seconds, following the fifth press.

Result

  • If DHCP was enabled, it is now disabled. The Reset LED blinks three times.
  • If DHCP was disabled, it is now enabled. The Reset LED blinks six times.

NOTES:

  • DHCP toggle mode is supported on firmware version 3.0 or higher.
  • By default DHCP is off and the unit uses a static IP address.
  • When you disable DHCP, the unit reverts to using the previously-set static IP address.
