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.

5. Close and latch the top of the Priority Page Sensor.

Reconnect the speaker cable to the speaker.

6. Strip 3/16 inches of insulation from each conductor on the

bare wire end of the remaining blue sensor cable. Do not tin
the leads. Feed the wire into the junction box (clamping it
down if necessary) and connect the wires to the 2-pole captive

screw connector on the PVS 305SA. Polarity need not be

observed.

7. If a junction box is being used in a plenum space, ensure the

sensor and all wires fit inside the box (as shown at right). All
cables leaving the box must be plenum rated. Tighten the
cable clamp and secure the lid to the junction box.

N

To enable the switcher’s paging sensor port, use the

MediaLink Switchers Configuration program (for MLS and
PoleVault Switchers PVS), available at www.extron.com.

Connect the Priority Page Sensor to

the Paging Sensor port on the switcher
