Atlas IED BBWP-K1B, BBWP-K4B, BBWP-S4K1B, BBWP-S8 Installation Guide

Install Sheet

Thank you for purchasing this Atlas Sound BlueBridge™ wall plate controller also known as BBWP. The Atlas
family of BlueBridge™ wall plate controllers allow user access to preset features using buttons or level control
adjustments. The family also offers a variety of mounting options that include wall mount, surface/desktop mount or
equipment rack mount. Each BBWP model includes a unique method to label the assigned functions giving users
general understanding of the controller's function as well as a clean professional look.

This install guide is designed to give installers recommendations on mounting the BBWP models. All models
except the BBWP-TOUCH7 feature the same physical footprint and are designed to fit in a 2-gang electrical box.
The BBWP-TOUCH7 requires a larger installation area and comes with a custom back can. For installation of the
BBWP-TOUCH7, refer to its installation guide.

All BlueBridge™ hardware devices are based on Ethernet protocol. BlueBridge™ wall plate controllers connect
to the network via standard Ethernet CAT5e cable. The BBWP’s are powered either by local 5V DC power supply
that is included or by PoE (Power over Ethernet) network switch (not included). Refer to Figure 1 for BBWP
connections. If using the external power supply it is important to pay attention to the wiring polarity. Next to
the external power header the PCB has indicators identifying which terminal is positive and which is negative.
For BBWP Operation, Programming and Addressing; refer to the BlueBridge™ Wall Controller Reference Guide
available at www.atlassound.com/bluebridge. This installation sheet details the steps for hardware connection and
installation into an electrical box and rack panel.

Included with each BBWP is a multi-use back can. This back can is designed to be mounted externally on a wall or
desk. The back can has an angled mounting surface that allows the BBWP to be rotated to meet the desired view
angle. Note: It is always recommended before installing the device to disconnect the power to prevent the power
from shorting to the chassis.

Rack Mount

Many installations require the system controllers to be mounted in an equipment rack. Atlas offers two types
of rack mount panels that work with BBWP models. One is designed to fit 19" full width racks and the other is
designed for use with half width rack designs. The BB-PLT-PNL is for 19" width racks and can support up to three
BBWP units. The Atlas Sound BB-PLT-PNL-HR supports one BBWP unit. Both models are 3RU in height. When
rack mounting BBWP units, they can be powered locally using the included external power supply. Note: The
5VDC power supply can be daisy chained to more than one BBWP in the rack. A PoE switch can also be used in
lieu of the external power supply. Use the

Wall Mount

BBWP units can be wall mounted in new or existing construction applications. It is very important to read this
guide in its entirety before starting your installation. Note: Each BBWP model comes installed in a surface mount
angled back can; the 4 screws are M8 metric thread. These screws cannot be used in electrical boxes in the USA.

It is extremely important that the BBWP unit is NOT powered on during the installation or removal process. The
circuit board can short out against the metallic box, damaging the hardware, and possibly the PoE switch.

For new construction, a 4" x 4" back box with a minimum depth of 2" and a mud ring with a depth of

⁄2" for proper

clearance are required.
