The Extron HC402 system is an AV presentation solution that incorporates a built-in control processor for display control via
HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC), RS-232, IR, or Ethernet. It also includes digital I/O ports.
Each system is a transmitter-receiver pair that is factory-optimized to work together as if it were a single unit.
Together each transmitter-receiver system extends video, audio, and control signals up to 230feet (70m) over a single CATx cable.
Each system offers two auto-input switching modes, one of which automatically selects sources based on input signals and also
allows manual source selection via buttons. Auto-switching modes can be enabled or disabled via Extron Product Configuration
Software (PCS). The “last connected” auto-switching mode is enabled by default.
The HC402 features two AV inputs and one output. It consists of a one-input transmitter (HCT101D) and a scaling receiver
(HCR102) that has one HDMI input and one connection from the transmitter. The transmitter has a decorator-style wallplate and
can be mounted into a standard US 1-gang junction box; and the receiver is wall, furniture, or rack mountable.
Transmitter
The HCT101D transmitter includes one digital (HDMI) video input and
one analog audio input. It does not include input selection buttons and
LEDs. The extended HDMI video signal can be HDCP-compliant.
and
Receiver
The HCR102 receiver incorporates a high performance, HDCP compliant
scaler that scales video to provide a consistent output resolution to a
display. It accepts video with resolutions from 480i up to 1920x1200, 1080p, and 2K, and performs upscaling and downscaling
with multiple output rates up to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 and 2K. The receiver includes an on-screen display, test
patterns, and EDID Minder.
This setup guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install the HCT101D and the HCR102. The guide provides
information needed to configure the most essential settings for the system and the receiver. It also describes basic operations using
front panel controls and the on-screen display (OSD) menu system. Full details are available in the HC400 Series User Guide.

Page 5
ATTENTION:
• If the HCT101D will be installed into fine furniture, it is best to hire a licenced, bonded craftsperson to cut the access
hole and perform the physical installation so the surface will not be damaged.
• S’il est prévu d’installer le HCT101D dans du beau mobilier, il est préférable de faire appel à un artisan autorisé et
qualifié pour couper le trou d’accès et réaliser l’installation de telle façon que la surface ne soit pas endommagée.
• Follow all national and local building and electrical codes that apply to the installation site.
• Respectez tous les codes électriques et du bâtiment, nationaux et locaux, qui s’appliquent au site de l’installation.
NOTE: For the installation to meet UL requirements and to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC), the HCT101D must be
installed in a ULListed junction box. The end user or installer must furnish the junction box. It is not included with the unit.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance
When planning where to install the HC system, you may need to consider factors affecting accessibility of the units such as height
from the floor, distance from obstructions, and how far a user must reach to press the buttons or insert a cable. For guidelines,
see sections 307 (“Protruding Objects”) and 308 (“Reach Ranges”) of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design available at
Each HCT101D fits a standard US one-gang junction box or mud ring
and decorator-style wallplate. Each unit ships with a mud ring.
Optional ULListed junction boxes, external junction boxes, and
surface mounting boxes are available for use with the unit. Read
any installation instructions and UL guidelines that come with the
mounting devices, then install the box or mud ring in the opening
at the installation site.
To prepare the site:
1. Using the size of the junction box or mud ring for reference,
cut the hole in the mounting surface. Protect the surface prior
to and during cutting so the surface is not damaged.
2. Run cables to the mounting location, leaving enough slack for
device installation.
3. Install the junction box or mud ring into the wall or furniture.
4. Secure the cables with a clamp for strain relief and so they do
not slip back down into the wall or furniture.

The HCR102 sends CEC driver commands to the display for basic control functions. CEC control is pre-configured and works
“out of the box” but it can be customized further using GC.
NOTE: It can take up to 2 minutes after powering up the receiver to initiate CEC display control.
Power
ATTENTION:
• Always use a power supply supplied or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory
compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the unit.
• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie par Extron. L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute
conformité réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que l’unité.
For port locations, see figure 3 and figure 4, A on page 3. You have two options for powering the system:
• Connect the included 12VDC, 4.2A power supply (Extron PS1242) at the receiver to remotely power the transmitter.

Reset Modes: a Brief Summary
The HCR102 receiver offers the following reset modes:
• Use Factory Firmware: Press and hold the receiver front panel Reset button (see figure 2, J on page 2 for
location) while applying power to the unit. Keep holding the button down until the Power LED
(I) blinks twice, or for 6 seconds, then release the button. The receiver enters factory firmware
mode. Use this mode to revert to factory firmware in the event of a firmware failure.
Do not continue to operate the control processor using the factory firmware version. If you want
to use the factory default firmware version, you must upload that version again.
• Project Recovery: See the HC400 Series User Guide for instructions. Use this mode to recover the project in the
event of a lost user name and password.
• Run/Stop Program: Hold down the Reset button for about 3 seconds, until the Power LED blinks once. Release
and press the Reset button momentarily (for <1second) within 1second*. (*Nothing happens if
the momentary press does not occur within 1second.) The LED blinks 2 times if the program is
starting. The LED blinks 3 times if the program is stopping. This mode allows you to restart any
scripts or events stopped by an IP settings reset.
• Toggle DHCP Client: Press the Reset button five times (consecutively). Release the button. Do not press the button
within 3seconds following the fifth press. Use this mode to enable or disable the DHCP client
for the LAN port.
• The Reset LED blinks 6 times if the DHCP client is enabled.
• The Reset LED blinks 3 times if the DHCP client is disabled.
NOTES:
• DHCP toggle mode is supported on firmware version 1.01 or higher.
• By default DHCP is off and the unit uses a static IP address.
• When you disable the DHCP client by using this mode, the unit reverts to using the
previously-set static IP address.
• Reset All IP Settings: Press and hold the HCR102 front panel Reset button for 6 seconds. After the PowerLED
blinks twice, release and momentarily press the Reset button. Use this mode to reset all
network settings to factory default values without affecting user-loaded files. This reset mode
also stops any running programs.
• Reset to Factory Defaults: Press and hold the HCR102 front panel Reset button for 9 seconds. After the PowerLED
blinks three times, release and momentarily press the Reset button within 1 second. Use this
mode to return the receiver to factory default settings. This mode also deletes all user-loaded
files and configurations from the HCR102, and also the factory default GC configuration. The
basic GC configuration project can be downloaded from the Extron website if you want to
restore it to the unit after a reset.
For detailed information on each mode and its use, see the HC400 Series User Guide at www.extron.com.
