Crestron PMK-6L Operating Manual

Pre-Construction Mount Kit: PMK-6L

Description

The PMK-6L is a pre-construction mount kit for the
Crestron Isys® TPS-6L wall mounted touchpanel. The
PMK-6L is used for installation on a stud. For custom
touchpanel placement without a stud, use the
TMK/WMKT-6L, MMK/WMKM-6L or the WMKB-6L.
The PMK-6L includes a 12-inch long, 18 AWG jumper
wire to secure touchpanel cabling prior to drywall
installation and to avoid damaging the cables when the

a single touchpanel and can mount to the right or left side
of a stud. Confirm that the PMK-6L is level before
applying drywall. A rectangular opening with the
dimensions shown in the illustration after this paragraph
must be made in the drywall. Position the opening to
expose the #04-40 tapped holes in each corner.

If the opening is too large, two pre-construction
accessories are available to make adjustments. Use the
optional TMK-6L (Trim Ring Kit) to provide a smooth
edge at the opening. This option provides a finished
appearance and is preferred with wallpaper. Use the
optional MMK-6L (Mud Ring Kit) to fill in larger
irregularities around the opening (requires plastering).

Installation

The PMK-6L consists of a single metal plate, which
fastens to the stud of a framed wall prior to hanging
drywall. Standard drywall nails or screws to attach the
PMK-6L are not supplied (length can vary).

If the touchpanel is to be installed, refer to the latest
revision of the TPS-6L Operations Guide (Doc. 6564) for

also to the following comprehensive illustration.

Touchpanel Mounting Using PMK-6L

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

NOTE: Prior to mounting the touchpanel, ensure that

the PMK-6L 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-6L or an MMK-6L to
keep the PMK-6L straight.
