TLP 350CV and TLE 350 • Setup Guide

AAP Shelf Bracket Kits

Before connecting the TLP 350CV to a

power source, refer to the TLP 350CV user

guide, which is available at

www.extron.com.

Overview

The Extron TLP 350CV 3.5-inch Cable Cubby® TouchLink™ touchpanel and TLE 350 enclosure provide AV connectivity using
convenient pullout cables. The TLP 350CV also provides simple and versatile conguration and control for a range of IPLink
control systems via an Ethernet connection, using a required IP Link controller, a touch screen, and 10 customizable buttons.
Video and audio input is provided by two BNC connectors.

NOTE: The network output must connect via a network switch, hub, or router to an Ethernet LAN or the Internet, with

an Extron IP Link controller on the same network. Suggested controllers include IPL T S series (for example, IPL T S4),
IPL250, IPL T CR48, IPLTSFI244, or IPCP series.

The rst four pages of this guide provides basic instructions for experienced installers to mount either the TLP 350CV or the
TLE350. The last four pages show initial conguration for the TLP350CV. For reference material and full instructions about
conguring the touchpanel, see the TLP 350CV User Guide, which is available on the Extron website (www.extron.com).

Mounting the TLP 350CV and TLE 350

Step 1 — Obtain Cut-out Dimensions

ATTENTION:

• The table should be cut only by licensed and bonded craftspeople.

• Make certain the correct cut-out dimensions are being used before proceeding to the next step. Extron is not

responsible for mounting holes that are incorrectly cut.

• The surfaces of the Cable Cubby enclosure have screws and other protruding hardware that could damage ne

furniture. Do not rest the enclosure on unprotected furniture.

• Ensure the table surface is at least 0.375 inches (0.95 cm) thick.

z If using a hand router, you should purchase the Extron TLP 350CV routing template (part number 70-694-01).

z If using a CNC wood router, use the exact cut-out dimensions (see below).

z If using a reciprocating saw or jigsaw use the paper cut-out template (part number 68-2148-01, available under the

Downloads tab on the TLP 350CV page at www.extron.com.)

Step 2 — Cut the Surface

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury: To avoid eye injury, wear safety glasses when operating power equipment.

Be certain the cut is laid out in exactly the desired location and the edge that opens on the lid is correctly oriented. After verifying
and checking dimensions, cut a hole in the surface of the furniture where the enclosure will be installed (see “Preparing the Table”
in the TLP 350CV User Guide). There are three methods for cutting the hole in the table:

Using a hand router

Recommendedmethod — Use the Extron TLP 350CV routing template, part
number 70-694-01. Refer to the Routing Template User Guide, available at

www.extron.com, to prepare the template and use the template to cut the

hole.

installing single-space

Run all cables necessary to support the AC connector, the cables stored in the cubby, and all planned AAP connectors. Run the
cables below the table and through the hole that was cut in Step 2. Leave enough slack in the cables to connect or route them
before the cubby is installed in the table. Leave enough space under the enclosure for the external power supply and connection
of AV cables and the network connection for the TLP350CV.

Step 4 — Install Cable Retractors (Optional)

If required, Extron cable retractors should be installed in the enclosure at
this stage. For complete information about retractors and how to install
them, see the Retractors User Guide, which is available from the Extron
website (www.extron.com).

Step 5 — Install Power Module (Optional)

ATTENTION: For units that are used in North America, only use

AC power modules that are UL Listed Model “Cable Cubby
AC Power Module”.

The unit is not UL Listed if it uses any AC power module other
than Model “Cable Cubby AC Power Module”.

NOTE: For models that do not include a power module, see the

Extron website to select a power module that is suitable for
your location.

The power module takes up two or three AAP spaces, depending on the
model, and may be installed before or after the AAP assembly is installed.
It may be installed with AAPs on either side.

Install the power
module on the
left side.

Push the module through the
bottom of the enclosure.
Secure the module in place with
#4-40 Phillips head screws and

1. Secure the power module into position with #4-40 Phillips

head screws and star washers.

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock: To ensure

good electrical grounding, you must use the star
washers with the screws.

2. Run the cable or conduit to a convenient junction box.

Extron recommends the circuit be attached to a junction
box that is directly wired to the main circuit.

Step 6 — AAP Assembly

Install all desired cables into the cable pass-through AAPs and
install the AAPs into the Cable Cubby.

The simplest way to install the cables and AAPs is to populate
the AAP brackets outside the cubby and then install the populated AAP shelf assembly into the cubby.

Install cables in the pass-through holes as shown in the gure to the right.

TIP: Hand tightening the #4-40 nuts makes it easier to place

and secure the assembly inside the enclosure.

NOTE: An extra column of AAP bracket mounting points is available for use with TLP

single-space AAP mounting brackets (part number 70-693-01). Single-space brackets do not
fit in any other location.

Rear Brackets

The extra column of
mounting points is for

AAP brackets.

Step 7 — Install the AAP Assembly

1. From under the table, push the rst AAP assembly

through the bottom of the enclosure. The holes in the
rear bracket must align with the bottom row of holes on
the rear face of the enclosure.

TIP: Ensure there is enough space above the

AAP assembly for the lid to close completely
without cables or connectors contacting the
touchpanel.

bottom of enclosure.

Step 8 — Mounting the Enclosure

Mount the Cable Cubby enclosure in the table.

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury: The anged edges of the trim ring are sharp. Exercise caution when the cubby is not

installed in a table to prevent personal injury.

ATTENTION: The trim ring edges are soft and can easily be nicked or bent. Exercise caution when handling and mounting

the enclosure.

1. Remove the edge grommet protecting the edges of the trim ring and the plastic lm on the nished surfaces.

ATTENTION: Do not use isopropyl alcohol or other solvents to clean the Cable Cubby. Strong solvents will ruin some

nishes.

2. Carefully lower the enclosure into the hole cut in the table (see “Step 2

— Cut the Surface” on page 2). Ensure the trimring(

of the enclosure. It may be necessary to loosen the wingnuts (a) and
the Phillips head screws (b).

4. When the clamps are properly seated on the pins, tighten the Phillips

Step 10 — Connect the Network

Using a standard Ethernet cable, connect the TLP350CV to the network via the LAN port (b). The TLP 350CV must be
connected to the same network environment as the assigned IP Link controller.

NOTE: To configure the TLP 350CV, connect it directly to a PC with an Ethernet crossover cable.

Step 11 — Connect the Preview Inputs

Two BNC connectors carry video from a composite or S-video source allowing a TLP350CV user to preview video from that
source. Composite video is connected to Vid/Y (

). For S-video, the luma signal is connected to Vid/Y (c) and chroma to C (d).

Step 12 — Power on the TLP 350CV for the First Time

Power on all the devices connected to the TLP350CV. When the 12 VDC power supply is switched on, the TLP 350CV will boot
up and, if a graphical user interface (GUI) has been designed and loaded onto the touchpanel, that screen will be displayed. If a
GUI has not been loaded, a plain blue screen will be displayed.

GUI Design and Conguration

Use Extron GUI Congurator (version 1.3 or later) to design the graphical user interface that will appear on the TouchLink panel.
Use Extron Global Congurator (version 3.3 or later) to assign functions to the elements of the graphical user interface. For
