About the Extender Series VGA Line Drivers
Introduction
PRELIMINARY
About this Manual
This manual contains information about the Extron Extender series line drivers, and on how to operate and configure them. “Extender” or “line driver” are used to refer to all models interchangeably when instructions apply to more than one model.
About the Extender Series VGA Line Drivers
The Extron Extender Series are one-input VGA–UXGA line drivers with audio. There are nine models in the series:
•Extender AAP
•Extender AAP EX
•Extender WM
•Extender D
•Extender WM AAP
•Extender WM AUS
•Extender MK
•Extender AKM UK AAP
•Extender AKM MAAP.
They boost the video signal between a laptop or desktop computer and a monitor or projector. Each has a 300 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth.
Each line driver accepts one computer-video input and one stereo audio input. Each Extender also features one buffered VGA-type RGB output and one stereo audio output. With an optional Mac/VGA adapter, the Extender can also buffer Macintosh signals.
Differences between the models
All Extender models are functionally identical but they have different mounting options.
For details about mounting the Extender AAP, Extender WM, Extender D, Extender WM AAP, Extender WM AUS, and the Extender MK, see “Preparing the Site and Installing the Wall Box” in chapter 2.
For Extender AAP EX mounting instructions, refer to the user’s manual or installation manual for the appropriate model of HSA Hideaway Surface Access enclosure.
For Extender AKM UK AAP mounting instructions, refer to the AKM UK Series Installation Guide, available at http://www.extron.com.
1-2 Extender Series • Introduction
For Extender AKM MAAP mounting instructions, refer to the Extender AKM MAAP Installation Guide, available at http://www.extron.com.
Features
Video signal boosting — The selectable gain/peaking settings boost video signals to compensate for signal degradation caused by long cables. The Extender can send a high resolution signal up to 250 feet (75 m) through Extron’s M59 Series mini high resolution cable.
Sync restoration — Each Extender restores low level sync voltages found on many laptop PCs (as low as two volts) to normal TTL levels.
Audio buffering — Unbalanced stereo audio inputs can be output as balanced audio for long cable runs.

Installation
PRELIMINARY
CInstallation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. This product should be used with a UL approved electrical box. See “UL Guidelines”, below.
UL Guidelines
1.The Extender must be installed in an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed junction box. The UL approved electrical wall box (junction box) is not included with the unit; the installer is responsible for obtaining and installing the box.
2.The unit must be installed with accordance with the National Electrical Code and with local electrical codes.
Installation Instructions
Depending on the model, the Extenders can be mounted into furniture, a wall, an Ackermann floorbox, or an Extron HSA 400 Series or HSA 800 Series enclosure.
For Extender AKM UK AAP mounting instructions, refer to the
AKM UK Series Installation Guide.
For Extender AKM MAAP mounting instructions, refer to the
AKM MAAP Installation Guide.
CThe Extender must be installed in a UL listed wall box, which the installer is responsible for obtaining.
For Extender AAP EX mounting instructions, refer to the user’s manual or installation manual for the appropriate model of HSA Hideaway Surface Access enclosure.
NThe Extender AAP EX does not require a wall box if it will be installed into an Extron HSA 400 Series or
HSA 800 Series surface access product. If you install an Extender AAP EX without an HSA, you must use a wall box.
Preparing the Site and Installing the Wall Box
Considerations
Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. You may need to install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the line driver.
•The Extender AAP or Extender AAP EX can be installed in an Extron two-gang, four-gang, or half rack width AAP Architectural Adapter Plate or in the faceplate of another Extron device that accepts AAP plates, such as an interface
2-2 Extender Series • Installation
or distribution amplifier. Refer to the mounting instructions for the adapter plate or device.
•The Extender AAP EX is usually installed into an HSA 400 Series or HSA 800 Series surface access enclosure.
•The Extender WM can be installed in a standard or compact one-gang electrical wall box. This is also true for the Extender D, though it requires a standard Decora©-style wall plate.
•The Extender WM AUS can be installed in a standard or compact Australian one-gang electrical wall box.
•The Extender WM AAP can be installed in a three-gang wall box, and its faceplate accepts up to four single height Extron Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs).
•The Extender MK can be mounted into a standard, shallow knockout switch box (also known as a KO box or MK box) that is used in Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the Extender’s size requirements. Dimensional drawings and templates are provided in the appendix.
PRELIMINARY
Procedure
1. Refer to the template that corresponds to the Extender model and wall box being used.
NThe templates are not shown at full size. Pay attention to the measurements shown on the templates.
2. Mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall or furniture.
•If the Extender will be installed in a wall box, place the box against the installation surface and draw a line on it around the outside of the box.
•If the Extender will be installed without a wall box (using mud rings or fastening it directly to the wall or furniture), measure and mark the surface for the cutout area indicated in the template.
3. Cut out the material from the marked area.
4. Check the opening size by inserting the wall box (if used) or the Extender (if no box is used) into the opening. The box and line driver should fit easily into the opening.
Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.
5. Feed cables through the wall box punch-out holes, and secure them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.
6. Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with heat shrink.

Grounding outer braided and foil shields
WTo prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp. Both braided and foil shields should be
connected to an equipment ground at the other end of the cable.
7. Insert the wall box into the opening, and attach it to the wall, stud, or furniture.
•For the Extender WM, Extender WM AAP, Extender WM AUS, Extender D, and the Extender AAP or Extender AAP EX (if installed in a twoor four-gang AAP plate), attach the wall box to the wall stud or furniture with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface. See the following illustration, which applies to one-, two-, three-, and four-gang wall boxes.

If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of ½" (1.3 cm) of screw threads must penetrate the wood.
If attaching the wall box to metal studs or furniture, use four #8 or #10 self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine bolts with matching nuts.
•For the Extender MK, pull the knockout box’s mounting tabs forward to secure them against the back side of the wallboard or furniture as shown in the following illustration.

A Faceplate screws — These secure the faceplate to the rest of the line driver. Faceplate dimensions are provided in the appendix of this manual.
NDo not remove these faceplate screws or the jack screw nuts on either side of the PC Input connector while the line driver is attached to the wall. If these screws are removed, the detached line driver may fall down inside the wall.
To replace the standard faceplate with a customized faceplate:
1. Set the line driver in an accessible place (do not do this while the line driver is installed in a wall or furniture),
and remove the faceplate screws and the jack screw nuts on either side of the PC Input connector.
2. Fasten the new faceplate to the line driver with the faceplate screws.
3. Reattach the jack screw nuts.
B Power/signal LED — This LED lights
•amber to indicate that the Extender is receiving power
•green to indicate that an active sync signal is present at the input and the Extender is receiving power
NThe LED remains lit amber when the input signal is HDTV component video, RGsB, or RsGsBs.
