Overview
This manual describes the AVTrac® components and provides instructions for installation.
AVTrac Floor System
Low-profile Raceway System
AVTrac is a low-profile raceway system designed
to safely and discretely run power, data, and A/V
cables from a wall to a table, podium, or other
furniture. The raceway system mounts directly onto
the concrete floor and underneath the carpet.
AAP Compatible Connectivity Box
The modular enclosure supports up to ten singlespace Extron Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs)
with hundreds of connection options creating a fully
customizable connectivity solution.
Models with the AC module accommodate up to seven
single-space AAPs. (AAPs are sold separately.)
Wheelchair Accessible
The slope of the side and end ramps is less than 1:12
(1 inch of rise for each 12 inches run, approximately
4.8°).
Choice of Finishes
The AVTrac 480C accommodates commercial grade
carpet inlay 1/4" to 5/16" (0.6 to 0.8 cm) thickness in
the aluminum raceway cap.
The AVTrac 480R accommodates the included black
Roppe rubber strip inlay as its top finish.

Planning
AVTrac can be installed before new carpeting is fitted or retrofitted under pre-existing carpet. It can also be installed in
new construction before the wall and carpeting is in place. Retrofitting the track in a space with existing carpeting and
furniture requires some extra preparation to remove the carpet and prepare the floor for laying the track.
Before installing the AVTrac, determine whether the installation will be in new construction, under pre-existing carpet
tiles or under pre-existing carpet rolls, and follow the appropriate installation instructions (see page 7). Read and
follow all instructions carefully.
N
All structural steps and electrical installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with
local and national building codes and/or local and national electrical codes.
Floor Considerations
AVTrac is designed to be installed only underneath commercial grade carpeting 1/4" to 5/16" (0.6 to 0.8 cm) in
thickness. It can be installed under new or pre-existing carpet tile or carpet roll.
AVTrac is not designed to be installed under vinyl composite tile (VCT).
In-Wall Cable Routing Considerations
Locate a convenient electrical junction box in the wall or ceiling for power. The AC power module is rated at 10 A, •
maximum, and no fuse is used on the box. Extron recommends that the AC conduit is connected to a junction box that is
wired directly to a 10 A main circuit.
If cables are run in walls, the walls should be run in drywall cavities. The wall should be free of windows, studs, •
pipes, or other obstructions that could hinder cables runs (see the figure below).

Determine the A/V requirements for the room. Extron provides a complete range of AAPs that can be purchased
separately to provide fully customizable central connectivity.
Select the best configuration for existing furniture, equipment, cables and the AVTrac. It may help to mark the position
of the track using a marker pen or tape.
The connectivity box must be positioned under a podium or table to avoid creating a tripping hazard. AVTrac can be
cut or extended to meet the needs of the room. (For further details, see step 3-1 on page 9.)
Optional track component extension kits are also available.
Wheelchair Accessibility
The slope and rise of the side and end ramps are less than 1:12 (1 inch of rise for each 12 inches run, approximately 4.5°).
The AVTrac maximum slope is 4.5°

By this point you must have decided exactly where the AVTrac will be installed, checked the contents of the kit, and
gathered the tools that you will need.
Extron recommends consulting a carpeting expert before removing the carpet.
1-1 Determine whether the installation will be in new
construction, under pre-existing carpet tiles or under
pre-existing carpet rolls, and follow the appropriate
instructions.
New Construction
When AVTrac is being placed in a new building, the
carpet should not be laid until the track has been
installed.
Prelaid Carpet Tiles
For installation of AVTrac under prelaid carpet tiles,
peel back the carpet to expose the concrete where the
track and side ramps will be positioned (as shown in
figure to the right).
Prelaid Carpet Rolls — Peel back Carpet
If AVTrac is being installed in a room that is already
fitted with carpet rolls, the ideal solution is to peel
back the entire carpet roll(s) covering the area where
the track will run.
Prelaid Carpet Rolls — Cut Carpet
Whenever possible, completely remove the carpet
from where the track will be laid. When the
positioning of preinstalled furniture makes it
impossible to remove existing carpet, the carpet must
be cut (see the illustration at right).
a. Use tape to mark where the track and ramps will
be positioned and make one straight cut 1 in the
middle of where the base track will run (see the
figure to the right). This cut must be the same
length as the base track.
b. Make three shorter cuts 2, 3, and 4
corresponding to, but about 4" (10.2 cm) longer
than the edges of the end ramps. These cuts must
be clean as the carpet needs to be seamed after the
AVTrac has been installed.
c. Pull the carpet back to expose the floor where the
base track, the side ramps and the end ramps will
be secured.
N
After removing the carpet, make sure that the
concrete base is level and structurally sound.
Prior to installation, leveling and topping may be
needed.
AVTrac is not designed to be installed under vinyl
composite tile (VCT).
