Installation Instructions

Installing the CVEQ 100/SVEQ 100

Mounting the CVEQ 100 and SVEQ 100

Tabletop use

UL rack mounting guidelines

The following sections explain the installation of the CVEQ 100
and SVEQ 100 series of line drivers.

The CVEQ 100 composite video line driver and the SVEQ 100
S-video line driver can be set on a table, mounted on a rack
shelf, mounted under a desk or table, mounted through
furniture (CVEQ 100 only), or mounted on the back of a rack
(SVEQ 100 only).

Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the line driver.
For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner of the bottom

side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location. See
chapter 3 for details on wiring and switch settings.

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines
pertain to the safe installation of the line drivers in a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a

closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the line
driver in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specied by
Extron.

2. Reduced air ow — Install the equipment in a rack so that

the amount of air ow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so

that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to

the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit
overloading might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable

grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular
attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Rack mounting

For rack mounting, do not install the rubber feet. Mount
the distribution amplier on a 19" wide 1U VersaTools® rack
shelf (Extron RSF 123, part #60-190-20; Extron RSB 123, part
#60-604-21), a standard 1U Universal or Basic rack shelf (Extron
RSU 129, part #60-190-01; Extron RSB 129, part #60-604-02), or a
Universal or Basic 1U 6-inch deep rack shelf (Extron RSU 126,
part #60-190-10; Extron RSB 126, part #60-604-11).

1. If feet were previously installed on the bottom of the line

driver, remove them.

2. Mount the line driver on the rack shelf, using two

4-40 x 3/16" screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to
secure the unit to the shelf.

3. Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) on the rack shelf.

each screw into the mounting surface until slightly less
than ¼" of the screw head protrudes.

6. Align the mounting screws with the slots in the brackets

and place the unit against the surface, with the screws
through the bracket slots.

7. Slide the unit slightly forward or back, then tighten all four

screws to secure it in place.
