UL rack mounting requirements
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the safe
installation of the MPS 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 device in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air
flow 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.
MPS Series • Installation
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).
Table or wall mounting
The table/wall mounting brackets extend approximately 1/4" (6.4 mm) above the
top surface of the switcher enclosure. This design allows for an air space between
the enclosure and the surface to which it is mounted. Table or wall mount the
switcher as follows:
1. Attach the table/wall mounting brackets to the switcher with the eight
provided #8 machine screws (figure 2-1).
2. Hold the switcher with the attached brackets against the underside of the
table or other furniture, or against the wall. Mark the location of the screw
holes of the bracket on the mounting surface.
3. Drill 3/32" (2 mm) diameter pilot holes, 1/4" (6.4 mm) deep in the mounting
surface at the marked screw locations.
4. Insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten each screw into the
mounting surface until just less than 1/4" of the screw’s head protrudes.
5. Align the mounting screws with the slots in the brackets and place the
switcher against the surface, with the screws through the bracket slots.
6. Slide the switcher slightly forward or back, then tighten all four screws to
secure the switcher in place.
Through-desk mounting
Mount the switcher through a desk or podium as follows:
1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the switcher with the machine
screws provided (figure 2-1).
2. Cut the proper sized hole in the mounting surface.
3. Hold the switcher with the attached brackets against the underside of the
table or other furniture. Mark the location of the screw holes of the bracket on
the mounting surface.
4. Drill 3/32" (2 mm) diameter pilot holes, 1/4" (6.3 mm) deep in the mounting
surface at the marked screw locations.
5. Insert four #8 wood screws through the bracket and into the four pilot holes.
Tighten all four screws to secure the switcher in place.

Connecting the MPS Switcher
The MPS switcher can be connected to as many as 12 input devices simultaneously
and can output to as many as three devices simultaneously, or one at a time. Follow
the steps below and see the installation example in figure 2-4.
Turn off power to the MPS switcher and all other devices that will be
1
connected.
If the MPS switcher is to be rack, table/wall, or through-desk mounted,
2
position the brackets and insert the mounting screws. See the Mounting the
Switcher, earlier in this chapter.
Attach up to four VGA, four S-video, and four video (composite) input
3
devices to the MPS switcher.
Connect the switcher’s VGA, S-video, and video (composite) outputs (up to
4
three, one of each video format) to a projector’s inputs.
For stereo audio input, connect up to 12 audio sources to the switcher’s audio
5
inputs of the VGA, S-video, or video (composite) groups (up to four for each
group). See the following Audio input and output section for connections.
For stereo output, connect an audio output device to each of the three groups
6
and one audio amplifier to the Program Audio connectors. Refer to Audio
input and output for wiring diagrams.
If the MPS switcher is to be connected to a computer or host controller for
7
remote control, connect the host’s RS-232 cable to the 9-pin female RS-232
connector of the MPS unit. For an RS-232 pinout table, see Remote connection
later in this chapter.
