Crestron PMK-17L Pre-Construction Mount Kit

Pre-Construction Mount Kit:
PMK-17L

Description

The PMK-17L is a pre-construction mount kit for the Crestron Isys® TPS-17L wall
mounted touchpanel. The PMK-17L can also be used with the Isys i/O™
TPMC-17-CH-L and TPMC-17-QM-L wall mounted touchpanels. The PMK-17L is
used for installation on two studs with a 16¼-inch (minimum) space between the
studs. For custom touchpanel placement in a lectern, use the WMKT-17L. The
PMK-17L 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-17L, shown after
this paragraph. The table that follows lists all parts included with the PMK-17L.

Installation

CAUTION: A 24-inch air gap above and below the plate is required when
positioning the PMK-17L.

NOTE: To maintain optimum structural integrity, Crestron recommends installing
header and footer studs around the PMK-17L and the required air gap.

NOTE: The PMK-17L requires a 16¼-inch wide space between the studs where it
is to be placed. The touchpanel will not fit otherwise.

The PMK-17L consists of a single metal plate, which fastens to the studs of a framed
wall prior to hanging drywall (shown after this paragraph). To accommodate the
touchpanel, the space between the studs must be 16¼ inches (minimum). Standard
drywall nails or screws to attach the PMK-17L are not supplied (length can vary).

NOTE: Use the inside edge of PMK-17L for cutting drywall

The plate is designed to provide the necessary support for a single touchpanel and
must mount to the right and left studs. Confirm that the PMK-17L 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 eight #6-32 tapped holes.

If the opening for the touchpanel in the drywall is too large, two pre-construction
accessories are available to make adjustments. Use the optional TMK-17L (Trim
Ring Kit) to provide a smooth edge at the opening. This option provides a finished
appearance and is preferred when wallpaper is hung. Use the optional MMK-17L
(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 paragraph). If the touchpanel is to be
installed, refer to the latest revision of the TPS-12L/15L/17L Operations Guide (Doc.

6355) or the TPMC-15/17-L Series Operations Guide (Doc. 6354) for installation
instructions.

NOTE: Prior to mounting the touchpanel, ensure that the PMK-17L 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-17L or
MMK-17L to keep the PMK-17L straight.
