Crestron FTI-PWR-D FlipTop Power Center - International Version

FlipTop Power Center ­International Version: FTI-PWR-D

Introduction

The FTI-PWR-D provides an elegant connectivity solution in a stylish flush mount

tabletop package. Beneath the "FlipTop" lid, the cable storage compartment keeps

interface cables at the ready for plugging in computers, AV sources, and a host of

other devices.

Features and Functions

• Stylish flush-mount FlipTop housing

• Easy pull-out universal cable management

• Dual International AC power outlets

• Available in black anodized (FTI-PWR-D-B) or brushed aluminum

(FTI-PWR-D-BALUM)

* For simplicity within this guide the FlipTop Power Center will be referred to as the

FTI-PWR-D unless otherwise noted.

FlipTop Housing

Handsomely finished in either black anodized or brushed aluminum, the FTI-PWR-D

mounts flush in any tabletop surface for a clean, discreet appearance.

Cable Storage Compartment

The FTI-PWR-D provides for extensive connectivity through an easy pull-out cable

storage mechanism to support a wide range of applications and signal types. Eight

grommeted holes are provided in the bottom plate, allowing for smooth pass-through

of virtually any type of AV, communication, control, or data cable (cables not

included). When not in use, the user end of each cable stows neatly within the

FlipTop compartment while excess cable simply drops out-of-sight below the box.

Dual International AC Power Outlets

*

For complete connectivity, the FTI-PWR-D includes two AC power receptacles

within the FlipTop compartment. A choice of outlet types is available to

accommodate virtually any country or region including UK, Europe (Schuko), Italy,

France, Australia, and China.

Setup

Installation

NOTE: To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds

the environmental temperature range listed in the specifications table. Consideration

must be given if installed inside a closed desk or in a closed podium since the

operating ambient temperature of these environments may be greater than the room

ambient temperature. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on

all sides of the unit.

Use the following steps to install the FTI-PWR-D.

Tools required:

• Phillips screwdriver (not included)

• Appropriate carpentry tools for cutout

Cable Management Kit

The FTI-PWR-D is shipped with a separate cable management kit for organizing

cables fed into the power center.

The cable support plate should be installed before mounting the FTI-PWR-D to a

surface. The cables are threaded through the cable support plate.

1. Place bushings on the cables you wish to install in the power center (eight
bushings supplied). Use bushings appropriate for the diameter of each
cable.

2. Thread the cables through the cable support plate slots appropriate for the
size of the cable and the bushing you attached in the previous step.

3. Snap the bushings into the slots on the cable support plate.

4. Feed all excess cable through the opening.

5. Attach the cable support plate using the four #04-40 x 1/4" (~7 mm) screws.

6. If desired, any installed cables can be secured to the bottom bar with tie
wraps (not supplied).

Cable Support Plate Installation

When selecting cables for installation in the FTI-PWR-D, cable connector length and
strain relief diameter are important considerations.

• If the connector is too long, it can interfere with cover operation.

• If the width of the cable strain relief is too similar to the bushing inside

diameter, the bushing can trap the cable.

NOTE: Do not use the cable support plate without the bushings.

Cables Threaded Through the Cable Plate

Surface Mounting

NOTE: Ensure that any cables you install have sufficient clearance to enable smooth
movement. Allow approximately 1 meter (40 inches) from the top surface of the
FlipTop box.

The FTI-PWR-D is designed to mount in a horizontal surface, such as a desk top,
lectern, or podium. The following diagram illustrates the required opening size to
accommodate the FTI-PWR-D. Use the template supplied with the FTI-PWR-D
(4508463) to make the cutout.
