To install and set up an RGB 400 Series interface, follow
these basic steps:
Determine the installation location.
1
Prepare the site for installation. Use the supplied
2
template to mark the rough-in cutout, then cut out
the wallboard or wood.
Set the DIP (dual in-line package) switches and
3
jumpers. These items will be inaccessible after
installation.
For the RGB 408, attach optional adapter plates, and
4
attach output cables to the back sides of the adapter
plates.
For all models, connect the wires and cables for
5
power, audio output and pass-through signals.
These items will be inaccessible after installation.
For all models, set the front panel High Z/75 Ohm
6
video termination toggle switch.
Temporarily connect the input cables. Connect any
7
cables whose signals will be routed through the
optional adaptor pass-through plates.
Connect power cables to the input and output
8
devices. Turn on the input and output devices.
Installation and Operation Instructions
Determining installation location
Take cabling and power availability and the location of wall
studs into consideration when selecting an installation site.
You may need to install the cables in the wall, furniture or
conduits before installing the interface. Choose a location
that will allow cable runs without interference, preferably
next to a 2” x 4” wall stud.
The RGB 400 Series interfaces each consist of a front panel
with an attached circuit board. They are typically installed
in standard 2-, 3- or 4-gang, 2.5-inch deep electrical wall
boxes. A metal wall box (provided by Extron) is preferred,
but a plastic box (or no wall box at all) can be used as long
as it conforms to local code restrictions and the interface’s
size requirements. If a wall box is used, it must be attached
to wall studs within the wall.
The drawing below illustrates the typical depth required to
accommodate the maximum bend of high resolution (SHR)
coaxial and miniature coaxial cables inside a wall box.

9
not display, or if the picture displays incorrectly,
double check and make adjustments to cables, DIP
switches and jumpers as needed. Refer to the
“Pre-installation testing/troubleshooting” section in
this chapter.
Temporarily disconnect the input cables from the
10
front panel of the interface, and disconnect the power
from the interface.
Mount the interface in the wall or furniture.
11
Reconnect the computer video and audio input
12
cables to the interface, apply power, and readjust
horizontal centering as needed via the front panel
control.

Installation and Operation, cont’d
Preparing the installation site and
installing the wall box
Actual-size rough-in templates for each model are provided
in Appendix B. If needed, make a 100% size photocopy of
the appropriate template to use for installation. Compare
the photocopy with the faceplate and wall box to make sure
the photocopy size is the same as the equipment.
Use the template as a guide to mark and cut the hole in the
wall or furniture through which the interface will be installed.
The innermost line represents the opening where material
will be removed and the wall box will be installed.
1.Cut out the center portion (up to the guidelines) of the
cut-out (rough-in) template.
2.Place the template on the surface where the interface
will be installed. Use a soft pencil to mark the
guidelines for the opening on the wall/furniture.
3.Cut out the material from the cut-out area with a
jigsaw or small hand saw.
4.Check the opening size by inserting the wall box (if
used) or the interface (if no wall box is used) into the
opening. The wall box will be mounted flush with the
outer wall or furniture surface. The box and/or
interface should fit easily into the opening.
5.If needed, use a saw, file or sandpaper to enlarge the
hole. Smooth the edges of the opening to avoid
damage or injury to yourself or the cables during
installation.
6.Attach the wall box to the wall stud (2” x 4”) with
nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the
wall surface, as shown in the following illustration.
Wall Stud
Wall Box
Flush with
Screws or Nails
Wall Surface
Attaching the wall box to wall studs
To attach the wall box to wood, use four #8 to # 10
wood or sheet metal screws. A minimum of 1/2 inch
(1.25 cm) of screw threads must penetrate the wood.
If the wood is a 2 x 4, such as a wall stud, 10-penny or
larger nails can be used.
To attach the electrical wall box to metal, use four #8
or #10 sheet metal screws (self-tapping) or #8 or #10
machine bolts with matching nuts.
7.Output cables will usually be out of sight inside a
wall, for example. Feed the cables through the wall
box “punch-out” holes for connection to the interface.
Cable clamps should be used to hold the cables in
place for strain relief.
8.Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential
sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate
shields with heat shrink. Details for typical maximum
coaxial cable bend inside a wall box are given on
page 2-3.
9.Configure, cable and test the interface before securing
the interface to the wall box. Configuration consists of
setting circuit board DIP switches and jumpers based
on installation requirements. See page 2-14 for more
information.
