Crestron PMK-15L User Manual

Pre-Construction Mount Kit: PMK-15L

Description Installation

The PMK-15L is a pre-construction mount kit for the
Crestron Isys® TPS-15L and TPS-15G-L wall mounted
touchpanels. The PMK-15L can also be used with the Isys
i/O™ TPMC-15-CH-L and TPMC-15-QM-L wall
mounted touchpanels. The PMK-15L is used for
installation on a stud. For custom touchpanel placement
without a stud, use the WMKT-15L or the WMKM-15L.
The PMK-15L includes an 18 AWG bus wire to secure
touchpanel cabling prior to drywall installation and to
avoid damaging the cables when the opening is routed.
Refer to the physical views (bottom, side, and front) of
the PMK-15L, shown after this paragraph. The table that
follows lists all parts included with the PMK-15L.

NOTE: This mounting kit is to be used only with the
TPS-15L, TPS-15G-L, TPMC-15-CH-L, and TPMC-15­QM-L series of touchpanels.

The PMK-15L consists of a single metal plate, which
fastens to the stud of a framed wall prior to hanging
drywall (shown after this paragraph). Standard drywall
nails or screws to attach the PMK-15L are not supplied
(length can vary).

Metal Plate Secured to Stud

Use inside edge for cutting drywall

.

The plate is designed to provide the necessary support for
a single touchpanel and can mount to the right or left side
of a stud. Confirm that the PMK-15L is level before
application of drywall. A rectangular opening with the
dimensions shown in the illustration after this paragraph
must be made in the drywall. Verify that the opening
exposes the #6-32 tapped holes in each corner.

when wallpaper is hung. Use the optional MMK-15L
(Mud Ring Kit) to fill in larger irregularities around the
opening (requires plastering).

Complete the installation by either installing the
touchpanel, leaving the hole open (if permitted by local
building codes), or installing the supplied cover plate with
the included #6-32 x 1½” screws (shown after this

CAUTION: Allow an air gap of at least 12 inches in the
wall cavity above the touchpanel for heat dissipation.

NOTE: Prior to mounting the touchpanel, ensure that the
PMK-15L is flush with the drywall (no kinks or bends in
the metal). Any separation may make screwing in the
touchpanel more difficult. One can purchase and attach a
TMK-15L or an MMK-15L to keep the PMK-15L
straight.
