Overview

This unit was tested with shielded cables on the peripheral devices. Shielded cables must be
used with the unit to ensure compliance.
This guide covers the installation of the Extron PoleVault® System in a drop ceiling room with a wood or concrete structural ceiling. If the location has a concrete or beam style ceiling, alternative ceiling mounts can be obtained
separately from Extron (see 2c, "Optional items", later in this chapter). It is assumed that the installer has some knowledge and experience of A/V, electrical, or electronic device
installation. This guide takes the A/V installer through the steps for installation and connection of each of the
system’s component parts.
It may be that the locations for the devices (e.g., wall plates, projector, and screen) have been pre-determined.
However, some room installation examples are given to help in installations where nal location is yet to be
determined.

The PoleVault System

Extron PoleVault Systems are easy-to-use, network-enabled, all-inclusive packages, making them ideal for single-projector K-12 classrooms. PoleVault Systems use economical twisted pair cables for transmitting signals and include network connectivity for Web-based asset management, monitoring, and control.
N
The hardware and devices listed on the inventory pages have detailed safety information, installation, set-up, and
configuration instructions, and should be referred to as needed.
For operation and setup of the projector, screen, and input devices, refer to the relevant manufacturer's manuals supplied with those devices.
A PoleVault System Installation video is viewable online at www.extron.com. This video is also a step by step guide to installing PoleVault System and is useful for first-time installations.

The Priority Page Sensor Kit momentarily silences classroom audio whenever a page is made from a public address (PA) system.
For detailed information, refer to the Priority Page Sensor Kit Installation Instructions, supplied with the device.
N
Priority Page Sensor Kit included parts:
Priority Page Sensor• UL-compliant junction box with a cable clamp and a lid• 35 ft. (10.7 m) of sensor cable
Installation Procedure
The Priority Page Sensor works with traditional 25 V or 70 V and 4/8 ohm PA systems. It is not designed
for, and may not work properly with, two-way intercoms or systems that are IP-based or use digital clocks.
W
All structural steps, anchoring, and electrical installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local and national building codes, fire and safety codes, and/or local and national electrical codes.
To meet the plenum rating requirement, the Priority Page Sensor assembly must be installed in a UL-compliant junction box with a cover and all cables to and from the sensor must be plenum rated.
1. Choose a suitable location for the sensor. It must be located
near, and in series with, the speakers.
2. If the sensor is to be located in a plenum space, the junction box (provided) can be used. Knock out an opening at one end of the junction box and attach the cable clamp (see figure at right). Secure the box where the sensor will go.
3. Disconnect the PA system speaker cable from the speaker.
Remove the outer protective jacket from the speaker cable to
expose the two speaker wires from the sensor to the speaker (as shown at right). Do not remove the inner protective jackets that cover the individual wires.
If the sensor is to be located in a plenum space, feed a loop
of one of the exposed speaker wires through the cable clamp into the junction box. The other wire must bypass the sensor to be connected later directly to the speaker.
4. Open the top of the Priority Page Sensor and loop the speaker
wire that is inside the junction box tightly around the top part of the sensor.
N
Loop only one of the speaker wires around the sensor cover. Do not loop both wires. Polarity need not be observed.
UL-compliant junction box and cover
The other speaker wire must bypass the sensor and connect
directly to the speaker.
• For a 25 V or 70 V system, wrap 5 to 8 loops.
• For a 4/8 ohm system, wrap 2 to 4 loops.
