UL Rack Mounting Guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation in a rack:

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If 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 in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect the circuit overloading might have on an overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. 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 use of power strips).

LED Indicators and Rear Cabling

Figure 2. USB-C HD 101 - LED Indicators

Figure 3. USB-C HD 101 - Rear Panel Ports

A Power LED — Indicates power to the unit.
Power Delivery LED — Indicates power delivery from the USB-C input (E) to the USB-C source device.
C SIGNAL LED — Indicates signal detection from the USB-C input.
D AC Power Input — Connect the AC Power Cord to the AC Power input.

ATTENTION:

USB-C Input — Connect a USB-C source device to the USB-C input.

NOTE: The USB-C port provides up to 60W of power to a connected source device. Some USB-C sources may not be able to be powered via USB-C. Check the specific source specification or manual for more information. If the source requires greater than 60W of power, the source may still be able to be powered, may not power, or may charge slowly.

F HDMI Output — Connect an HDMI output device to the HDMI output.

NOTE: Extron recommends using HDMI Pro Series cables for 4K/UHD signals.

ZipClip 200 and ZipCaddy 200 Mounting Installation

Figure 7. Easy Attach and Release

LockIt Lacing Bracket

Use the LockIt Lacing Bracket to securely fasten both the USB-C and HDMI cables to the device as follows:

① Plug the cable into the rear panel port.
② Loosen the connection mounting screw from the panel, enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not need to be removed.
③ Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the connector. Then, tighten the screw to secure the bracket.

ATTENTION:

Figure 8. Lockit Bracket Installation

4 Loosely place the included tie wrap around the connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown.

⑤ While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or similar tool to tighten the tie wrap. Then, remove any excess length.
