Introduction

About the Hideaway® Surface Access Products

The patented Extron Hideaway HSA 400 and HSA 402 are
furniture-mounted, architectural solutions for inconspicuous
computer video interface connector access and control.

The HSA 400 provides space for two double-space
(double-height) or four single-space Extron Architectural
Adapter Plates (AAPs), a standard grounded AC receptacle, and
two RJ-45 (Category 5/6) (CAT 5/6) connectors (figure 1-1). The
HSA is available in a US version, with a US power receptacle,
and an international version. Several different types of power
receptacles are available for the international version, including
Universal, UK, French, Israeli, Australian, Indian, European,
and Swiss receptacles.

The Universal AC outlet is fully compatible with
Europlug, British, Indian, Danish, and Italian plug
types. See the universal AC outlet guide on the Extron
Web site, www.extron.com, for compatibility details on
all plug types.

The installed enclosures fit nearly flush within a table or podium
top, storing the AAPs and connectors out of the way and out of
sight. To access the AAPs and connectors, the user presses
down on the top of the enclosure, releasing a mechanical latch.
A gas lift slowly tips the AAPs and connectors into view.

Figure 1-2 — HSA 402 hideaway enclosure

The functionality of the HSA enclosures can be optimized with
one or two RGB 580xi AAPs connected and routing video and
audio signals to one or two RGB 580xi Remote Interfaces
(figure 1-3, on the next page).

Features

• UL/c-UL listing / CSA certification

1-2

Figure 1-1 — HSA 400 hideaway enclosure

The HSA 402 provides the same AAP space, but with two AC
receptacles and four RJ-45 connectors. The AC receptacles and
RJ-45 connectors are arranged symmetrically on opposite sides
of the AAP opening (figure 1-2).

In both models, cabling inside the enclosure runs the AC power
line(s) and RJ-45 signal lines from the HSA panel connectors to
connectors on the bottom of the enclosure.

With an optional conversion kit, one or more of the RJ-45 (data)
lines can be converted to an RJ-11 (telephone) line.

Installation Overview

Install and set up the HSA surface access enclosure as follows:

If you have an unprepared mounting template, prepare

1

the template. See “Preparing the Routing Template” on
the next page.

If desired, install the optional RJ-45 to RJ-11 conversion

2

kit(s) to replace one or more RJ-45 connectors with RJ-11
connectors. Refer to the RJ-45 to RJ-11 Conversion Kit
manual.

If desired, install the optional flexible conduit kit to

3

replace the removable AC power cord. Refer to the
Flexible Conduit Kit manual.

Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be

4

installed and install the enclosure. The clamshell clamps
the enclosure to the table. See “Preparing the Table and
Mounting the Enclosure” in this chapter.

Run all cables necessary to support the AC and RJ-45

5

connectors and all planned AAP connectors. Leave
enough slack in the cables to connect them to the
underside of the enclosure or to the rear of the AAPs
before the AAPs are installed in the enclosure.

Turn off all of the equipment to be connected. Ensure that

6

the equipment connected to the RJ-45 connectors and the
connections for any AAPs are all turned off and
disconnected from the power source.

If applicable, connect cables to the rear connectors on the

7

AAPs to be installed in the HSA. Install the desired AAPs
on the front panel of the enclosure. See “Cabling and
Installing the AAPs” in this chapter.

Connect the power and RJ-45 cables to the underside of

8

the enclosure. See “Cabling the Enclosure” in this chapter.

Route and secure the AAP cables inside the clamshell.

9

See “Routing the AAP Cables” in this chapter.

Peel the protective coating from the top surface.

10

Connect the power cords and turn on the devices that

11

connect to the surface access enclosure.

Preparing the Routing Template

Extron offers a metal template for each HSA model.
Appendix A lists the HSA 400/402 template part numbers.
Extron recommends using this template as a guide to cut the
hole in the table where the HSA will be installed.

The metal routing template is reusable. Do not discard
this template when the installation is complete. Save it
for installing future HSA enclosures of the same size.

1. Cut two 1/2" x 4" (approximately 13 mm x 102 mm) strips

of soft, finished lumber at least long enough to span the
distance between the desired installation location on the
table or other mounting surface and the edges of the
mounting surface (figure 2-1).

These strips raise the routing template above the mounting
surface to provide room for the router’s collar, protect the
mounting surface, and extend the routing template’s reach
so that it can be clamped to the edge of the surface.

2. Using four or more short wood screws, secure the

mounting template to the lumber strips.

Do not allow the wood screws to protrude through
the bottom of the wooden strips. Protruding screws
will mar the table when the template is used.

Preparing the Table and Mounting the Enclosure

The preferred and recommended method for preparing the
table is to use the appropriate Extron metal routing template
and a router. See the part numbers for the templates in
appendix A, “Reference Information”.

Alternatively, you can use a paper cut-out template (see
appendix A, “Reference Information”) and a sabre saw or
keyhole saw, but this method is not recommended.

Prepare the table as follows:

CAUTION

The opening in the table for the HSA should be cut
only by licensed and bonded craftspeople. Exercise
care to prevent scarring or damaging the furniture.

The routing templates for the various HSA models
are not interchangeable. If you use the wrong
template, you will cut an improperly-sized hole. If
you use a larger template than required, the cut will
result in gaps in the table surface on either side of
the enclosure.

Figure 2-2 — Cutting the opening with a router

The surfaces of the HSA enclosure have screws and
other protruding hardware that could damage fine
furniture. Do not rest the enclosure on unprotected
furniture.

The metal routing template is reusable. Do not discard
the template when the installation is complete. Save it
for installing other HSA products of the same size.

1. Locate the desired mounting location on the tabletop or

other installation surface. Mark the location.

CAUTION

2. Place the mounting template assembly on the table,

centered on the mounting location. Angle the template for
the optimum positioning. If necessary, use a square to
ensure that the template is properly positioned. Extron is
not responsible for improperly-positioned HSA products.

3. Once the template assembly is positioned properly, secure

the assembly to the table with C-clamps (figure 2-2).

Ensure that only the wooden strips on the routing
template contact the furniture. Failure to do so may
mar the furniture.

Wear safety glasses when operating the router.
Failure to comply can result in eye injury.

4. Using a router with a 5/8" (or 16 mm) outside diameter

guide bushing and a 1/2" (or 12 mm or 12.7 mm) diameter
straight router bit, carefully cut the opening in the table
surface (figure 2-2).

5. Remove the C-clamps and the routing template.

The flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure
are sharp. To prevent personal injury, exercise
caution when the HSA is not installed in a table.

CAUTION

6. Remove the plastic strips that protect the flanged edges of

the top of the surface enclosure. If a sticky residue
remains, remove it with an appropriate metal cleaning
product.

CAUTION

The flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure
are bevelled to an ultra-fine thickness of less than

0.04 (4/100)" (approximately 1 mm). These edges
are soft and can be easily nicked or bent. Exercise
caution when handling and mounting the
enclosure. Mishandling can damage the appearance
of the enclosure.

Do not use isopropyl alcohol or other solvents to
clean the HSA. Strong solvents will ruin some
finishes.
