WPC 220 A Series • Installation Guide

The Extron WPC 220 A EU and WPC 220 A MK are wall mounted plates that accept video, audio, and HDMI signals through one female 15-pin HD connector, one 3.5 mm tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) connector, and one female HDMI connector. The signals pass through the units without modification and are output from the back via captive screw connectors (VGA and audio) and a female HDMI connector on a 6 inch (15.24 cm) pigtail. The rear panel captive screw connectors take 18 AWG (1.02 mm) to 26 AWG (0.40 mm) wires.

The two form factors are shown in the figure to the right:

• The WPC 220 A EU (left) mounts onto 80 mm one-gang European EU junction boxes. The plate is 3.1 inches x 3.1 inches (81 mm x 81 mm).
• The WPC 220 A MK (right) mounts onto MK type one-gang UK electric junction boxes. The plate is 3.35 inches x 3.35 inches (85 mm x 85 mm).

VGA Wiring

NOTE: Extron recommends Extron MHRVGA bulk cable (part number 22-024-01) or assembled cables (part numbers 26-112-15, 26-112-36, 26-238-01, and 26-238-25). The wire colors for these products are shown in the VGA Connections table at the top of the next page. If other cable products are used, the colors may not correspond to those shown in the table.

The DDC and ID bit DIP switches, the +5 V pin, and the DDC pins are optional but they can affect the monitors supported by the system (see the table to the right of "DDC and ID Bit DIP Switch Settings" on the next page).

To connect wires from the VGA input to these modules, some wires must be cut shorter than others (see the table in the "VGA Connections" section on the next page). Follow these instructions:

1. Run the unterminated end of the cable to the junction box.
2. Strip away 3 inches (7.6 cm) from the end of the outer jacket of the cable.
3. Unravel each of the coaxial shields and twist each, individually, to make 3 wires.
4. Cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of the individual wires marked with an asterisk in the VGA Connections table on the next page.
5. Strip 3/16 inches (5 mm) of the inner jacket from the end of each wire and secure the wire to the appropriate captive screw connector (see the VGA Connections and TRS Connections tables on the next page).
6. Secure the faceplate to the junction box using the screws provided (see the figures at right).
7. Connect the VGA input, audio input, or both.

NOTE: VGA pin 9 may be used to detect DDC availability. Check the manual for your display to see if this feature is required for DDC communication. If you are unsure, do not use the pin.

DDC and ID Bit DIP Switch Settings

The table at left below shows the function of the DIP switches. The table at right below shows how the switches affect the monitors supported and some of the more common ID bit settings. Check the manual supplied with your display to see if ID bit termination is required by your AV system. If you are unsure, set all switches to off.

NOTE: If DDC is to be used, switches 1 and 3 must be set to on and switches 2 and 4 must be set to off.

HDMI Connections

1. Run a HDMI cable from the HDMI display to the junction box.
2. Connect the cable to the rear panel HDMI connector. The rear panel HDMI connector is on a 6 inch (15.24 cm) pigtail, which provides extra flexibility to make the connection in the limited space of the junction box.
3. Connect a HDMI source to the front panel HDMI connector.
