Wall-Mounting or Furniture-Mounting

The touchpanel can also be mounted directly to the wall or directly into furniture, such as a podium or table, without a kit.

ATTENTION: Do not install the TLP Pro 520M in a re resistant rated wall or partition assembly.
ATTENTION: Ne pas installer le TLP Pro 520M dans un mur résistant au feu ou une cloison.

To mount the TLP Pro 520M directly into drywall, follow these steps. The steps are similar if the unit is mounted in furniture (such
as a podium or table).

You will need a marking pen, a wallboard saw or jigsaw, a le or sandpaper, and a Phillips head screwdriver.

1. Use the provided cut‑out template as a guide to mark the wall at a suitable location.

2. Use a wallboard saw or jigsaw to cut away the material within the guidelines drawn in step 1.

ATTENTION: Cut inside the guidelines to maximize the contact between the wallplate adapter and the drywall.
ATTENTION: Couper en suivant le marquage an d’optimiser le contact entre la plaque murale d’adaptation et la

cloison.

3. If there is insulation inside the drywall, remove at least 6inches of the insulation in all directions around the opening. If the

opening is less than 6 inches from a wall stud, remove all the insulation between the opening and the wall stud.

4. Check the size of the opening by inserting the included wallplate adapter into it. If necessary, use a saw, le, or sandpaper to

enlarge the hole.

CAUTION: Smooth the edges of the opening to avoid personal injury during installation and to avoid damage to the

wallplate adapter or cables.

ATTENTION: Limez les bords de l’ouverture an d’éviter toute blessure lors de l’installation et éviter d’endommager la

plaque murale d’adaptation ou les câbles.

5. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the locking arm screws of the wallplate adapter (see gure 1,

). As the screws

5

tighten, the locking arms rotate behind the wall and hold the adapter in place.

ATTENTION: Do not overtighten the screws as this can damage the catches or the wall.
ATTENTION: Ne serrez pas trop les vis au risque d’endommager les attaches ou le mur.

6. Run the cables inside the wall to the hole, leaving enough slack in the cables to connect them to the back of the touchpanel.

7. Plug the cables into the rear panel connectors (see page 4).

z If required, connect the digital input monitoring port.
z Connect the LAN port to the PoE power injector or a PoE enabled switch.
z If you use the LAN port only as a network connection, connect a 12 VDC,

1.0 A power supply to the 2‑pole captive screw power input connector.

8. Push excess cables into the wall cavity.

9. Press the touchpanel onto the wall plate adapter

(¢). Four catches, two on each side, hold the
touchpanel in place.

10. Remove the bezel by inserting the provided Extron

TLP Pro 520M

pry tool into the notches on the bottom surface
of the bezel (£). The notches are on the bottom
surface of both the landscape and portrait bezels.

11. Attach the touchpanel to the wall plate adapter

with the two Phillips head screws (#4‑40 x ¼”) that
are provided with the touchpanel (

). For extra

¤

security, these screws can be replaced with two
security screws of the same size (not provided).

12. Replace the bezel by pressing the catches on the

faceplate into the corresponding slots on the front
of the touchpanel.

Remove

13. If required, perform the initial conguration, using

the Setup Menu (see page 4).

NOTE:

• The TLP Pro 520M ships without a power supply. Either the 12 VDC, 1.0 A power supply or the power injector

must be purchased separately.

• If a 12 VDC and a PoE power injector are both connected to the TLP Pro 520M, the power injector takes

precedence. If a PoE power loss is detected, the touchpanel switches seamlessly to the 12 VDC supply without
needing a system reboot.

Digital input monitoring port — this two‑pole captive screw port (signal and ground) monitors the voltage level of a system

B

and triggers an event when the voltage passes the built‑in threshold. The xed pull‑up allows the port to detect a relay
closure or an external voltage pull‑up.

Reset LED— indicates power status and reset status of the device.

C

Reset button — this recessed button allows the unit to be reset. The TLP Pro 520M has three reset modes that are initiated

D

by pressing the reset button. For full information about these different modes, see the TLPPro 520 Series User Guide.

Network and Power over Ethernet (PoE) connector — is on the right side of the recessed area. Connect the touchpanel to

E

the LAN using a twisted pair cable, terminated with an RJ‑45 connector. The connector can also be used with a PoE power
injector (not provided).

An Extron IP Link Pro control processor must also be connected to the same network as the TouchLink Pro touchpanel.

Power connector — Connect a 12 VDC, 1.0 A power

A

supply (not included) to this 2‑pole, 3.5 mm captive screw
connector.

ATTENTION: The TLP Pro 520M can use a 12

VDC desktop power supply and is also Power
over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af, class3) compliant. Do
not connect either power supply before reading
the Attention in the Power Supply section of the
TLPPro520 Series User Guide.

ATTENTION: Le TLP Pro 520M peut utiliser une

source d’alimentation externe 12 Vcc, et est
également compatible avec l’alimentation POE
via Ethernet (PoE 802.3af, classe 3). Ne branchez
pas de sources d’alimentation externes avant
d’avoir lu les mises en garde dans la section
«PowerSupply» du TLPPro520 Series User
Guide.
