Introduction

About the HSA Hideaway Enclosures

The Extron Hideaway HSA 800 and HSA 802 are furniture­mounted, architectural solutions for inconspicuous computer
video interface connector access and control.

The HSA 800 provides space for two double-space (double­height) or four single-space Extron Architectural Adapter Plates
(AAPs), a standard grounded US, IEC, UK, Europe, or
Australian (depending on the model) AC receptacle, and two
RJ-45 (Category 6) (CAT 6) connectors (figure 1-1). The HSA 802
provides twice the AAP space with two AC receptacles and four
RJ-45 connectors.

On the US/domestic HSA 802, the AAP spaces, RJ-45
connectors, and AC receptacle are arranged back-to-back on
opposite sides of the enclosure. On the IEC and all international
versions, the AAP spaces and RJ-45 connectors are also arranged
back-to back, while the AC receptacles are back-to-back on the
sides perpendicular to the AAPs. Cabling inside the enclosure
runs the AC power line and RJ-45 signal lines from the
connectors on the front panels to connectors on the underside of
the enclosure.

presses down on the top of the enclosure, releasing a
mechanical latch. A gas lift slowly raises the AAPs and
connectors into view.

The functionality of the HSA enclosures can be optimized with
one through four RGB 580xi AAPs connected to one through
four RGB 580xi Remote Interfaces (figure 1-2).

Installation Overview

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

If you have an unprepared mounting template, prepare

1

the template. See Preparing the Routing Template in this
chapter.

Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be

2

installed and install the enclosure. The clamshell clamps
the enclosure to the table. See Preparing the Table and

Mounting the Enclosure in this chapter.

Save shipping materials to package the enclosure for
return to Extron if necessary.

Run all cables necessary to support the AC and

3

RJ-45 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 all of the equipment to be connected off. Ensure that

4

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

5

AAPs to be installed in the HSA 800 or HSA 802. Install
the desired AAPs on the front panel of the enclosure. See
Cabling and Installing the AAPs in this chapter.

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 reach of the routing
template so that it can be clamped to the edge of the
surface.

CAUTION

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.

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

6

the enclosure. See Cabling the enclosure in this chapter.

Route and secure the AAP cables inside the clamshell. See

If present, peel the protective coating from the top surface.

8

Connect power cords and turn on the devices that connect

9

to the surface access enclosure.

The 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 1/2” x 4” strips of soft, finished lumber long enough

to span the distance between the desired installation
location on the mounting surface and the edges of the
mounting surface (figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1 — Prepared mounting template

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

mounting template to the lumber strips.

Preparing the Table and Mounting the Enclosure

The preferred and recommended method for preparing the
table is to use the appropriate Extron routing template and a
router. Alternatively, you can use a paper cut-out template (see
Appendix A) 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 800 or
HSA 802 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

Surface Access Products • Installation

2-3

Installation, cont’d

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.

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 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 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.

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

The flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure
are sharp when the HSA is removed from the table.
Exercise caution when handling to prevent personal
injury.

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 a soft cloth dampened with
isopropyl alcohol.

7. Carefully lower the HSA enclosure into the hole to test the

fit. If necessary, remove the enclosure and use a file or
rasp to enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening.

8. From the underside of the table, bolt the clamshell to the

enclosure with two bolts of optimum length (included)
(figure 2-3).

9. Peel any remaining protective coating from the enclosure.

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.
