Overview
The Extron BB 1000M back box is used to mount an Extron TLP 1000MV TouchLink™ panel in a wall. This Installation
Guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to retrofit the box in existing drywall or mount the wall box in a
new installation. For complete instructions about installing and calibrating the TouchLink panel, see the TLP 1000MV and
TLP 1000TV User Guide, which are available on the Extron web site (www.extron.com).
Retrot an Existing Installation (with the Drywall in Place)
1. Remove the screws holding the top and bottom endplates of the wall box to the
U-plate (sides and back). Separate and remove the endplates.
2. Use the back face of the U-plate to mark the position where the hole will be cut. Use a
level to ensure the U-plate is level.
NOTE: The hole is 10.22 inches (25.96 cm) wide x 7.16 inches
(18.2 cm) high.
3. Using a drywall saw, carefully cut a hole where the touchpanel will be installed. Cut on
the lines that you marked in step 2.
4. Run the cable conduit through the wall. The conduit can be attached to any of the
available knock-out holes in the top, bottom, or either side. Leave
some slack to connect the conduit to the wall box and the cables
to the touchpanel.
5. Run cables to the installation site.
6. Clear the cables and conduits from the space behind the hole.
7. Insert the U-plate into the hole (see figure 1).
NOTE: The tabs of the wall box sit on the outer face of the
drywall.

8. Pull back the cables that were cleared out of the way in step 5.
9. Secure one or more conduits to the knock-out holes (see figure 2).
10. Slide the endplates into the gap between
the back of the U-plate and the top flanges
on the side of the U-plate (see the inset
in figure 2). The endplate must pass the
drywall so that the trailing edge can be
pushed in behind it.
11. Finish installing the TouchLink panel
as shown in figure 3 and described in
“Mounting the Touchpanel” on the next
page.

New Construction Installation
1. Before the drywall has been secured to the studs, place the wall
box in a suitable place so that the tabs on the sides of the box are
flat against a vertical stud.
2. Secure the wall box to the stud (metal or wooden) using two nails
or screws.
3. Run the cable conduits to the box and connect them to one of
the available knock-out holes. Leave enough cable to provide
slack for installing the TouchLink panel.
4. Measure the position of the wall box, and mark and cut a hole in
the drywall where the box is placed.
Tabs are in contact
with the wall stud.

Mounting the Touchpanel
For complete instructions about installing
and calibrating the TouchLink panel, see the
TLP 1000MV and TLP 1000TV User Guide,
available on the Extron website (www.
extron.com).
1. Connect the cables to the back of the
TouchLink panel (see the User Guide).
Feed excess cable back into the conduit.
2. Test the connections and configure the
TouchLink panel (see the User Guide).
3. Fold the locking arms into their recesses
on the side of the touchpanel and slide
the unit into the wall box.
4. Tighten the screws on the front of the
unit so that the locking arms rotate into
place behind the top and bottom plates
of the wall box and hold the unit in
place (see figures 3 or 5).
5. Snap the faceplate into position (see figures 3 or 5).
