Step 1 — Obtain Cut-out Dimensions

ATTENTION:

• The opening in the table for the Cable Cubby should be cut only by licensed and bonded craftspeople. Exercise care

to prevent scarring or damaging the furniture.

• L’ouverture dans la table pour le CableCubby devrait être coupée seulement par des artisans autorisés et qualiés.

Faites attention à ne pas faire de marques sur le meuble et à ne pas l’endommager.

• Use the appropriate metal Extron routing template or refer to the surface cutout dimensions before cutting a hole in

the furniture or other surface. Pay special attention to the direction the unit will face. The connector access side is
underlined. Extron is not responsible for miscut mounting holes.

• Utilisez le gabarit de détourage métallique approprié ou reportez-vous aux dimensions de découpe de la surface

indiquées ci-après avant de découper le meuble ou la surface. Faites particulièrement attention à la directions dans
laquelle l’unité sera dirigée. Le côté pour accéder au connecteurs est souligné. Extron ne sera pas responsable des
erreurs de coupe.

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

• Assurez vous que la surface de la table est au moins 0,95 cm (0,375") d’épaisseur.

If using a hand router, you should purchase the Extron TLP Pro 720C routing template.

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

If using a reciprocating saw or jigsaw use the paper cut-out template (available under the Downloads tab on the TLP Pro 720C
page at www.extron.com).

Step 2 — Cut the Surface

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury: Wear safety glasses when operating power equipment.
ATTENTION: Risque de blessure: Portez des lunettes de sécurité lorsque vous utilisez l’équipement électrique.

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 Pro 720C User Guide). There are three methods for cutting the hole in the table:

Using a hand router

Recommended method — Use the Extron TLP Pro 720C
routing template. Refer to the Routing Template User Guide,
available at www.extron.com, to prepare the template and
use the template to cut the hole.

NOTE: The metal router guide must be purchased

separately. It is reusable and should not be discarded
when the installation is complete.

Using a CNC wood cutter

Recommended method — Use the exact cut-out dimensions:

8.90 +0.00/-0.02 inches W x 7.10 +0.00/-0.02 inches D

(22.61 +0.00/-0.05 cm W x 18.03 +0.00/-0.05 cm D)

NOTE: The underlined dimension is the connector or AAP

access side for the unit.

Step 3 — Run all Cables

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Pro 720C.

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.

ws and star washers.

wer module

TLP Pro 720C frame

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.

1. Secure the power module into position with #4-40 Phillips head screws and star washers.

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock: To ensure proper electrical grounding, use the provided grounding screws and star

washers.

ATTENTION: Risque de choc électrique: An d’assurer une mise à la terre correcte, utilisez les xations de mise à la

terre et les rondelles en étoile fournies.

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.

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.

2. Secure the AAP assembly into position with the

provided Phillips head screws.

3. Tighten the nuts that secure the AAPs to the brackets.

Step 8 — Mounting the Enclosure

Mount the cable cubby enclosure in the table.

CAUTION: The anged edges of the top of the surface enclosure are sharp. These edges are also soft and may be easily

nicked or bent. Exercise caution when handling the enclosure to prevent personal injury or damage to the enclosure.

ATTENTION: Les extrémités à brides du haut de la surface du boîtier sont aiguisées. Ces extrémités sont aussi lisses

et peuvent facilement être coupées ou pliées. Soyez prudents lorsque vous manipulez le boîtier an d’éviter de
l’endommager ou de vous blesser.

nishes.

ATTENTION: Ne pas utiliser de l’alcool isoproprylique ou

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

Step2 — Cut the Surface on page 3). Ensure the trimring(5)

is ush with the top of the table.

3. Under the table, attach the table clamps (

each side of the enclosure. It may be necessary to loosen the
wingnuts (1) and the Phillips head screws (2).

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

Phillips head screws until the clamp faces (4) are tightly secured against the bottom of the table.

5. To prevent the screws from becoming loose, secure the wingnuts against the table clamp bodies.

ATTENTION: The TLP Pro 720C 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720C User Guide.

ATTENTION: Le TLP Pro 720C 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720C User Guide.

NOTES:

• The TLP Pro 720C ships without a power supply. Either the 12 VDC power supply or the PoE injector must be

purchased separately.

• If a 12 VDC and a PoE power supply are both connected to the TLP Pro 720C, the PoE injector takes precedence.

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

Network and Power over Ethernet (PoE) Connector — Connect the touchpanel to the LAN using a twisted pair cable,

B

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.
