Install ēno play

Important considerations

Driver pack positioning

There is only one correct position for the ēno play driver packs that you install on the back of the
whiteboard. Determine the correct driver pack location using the template and instructions provided.
Refer to “Install the driver packs”.

Amplifier positioning

There are two optional positions for the ēno play amplifier that you install on the back of the
whiteboard. Position the amplifier in the lower left or the lower right corner only. Consider the
distance and routing to a power outlet and the audio input source when choosing which location to
install the ēno play amplifier. Refer to “Plan power and audio input cable routing”.

Note: Use care when mounting the ēno play amplifier and driver packs to the back of the

whiteboard. The supplied adhesive is intended to be permanent. If you need to remove or reposition
the components, additional supplies are provided. Refer to “Removing and replacing the cable tie
holders, driver packs or amplifier”.

Power and audio input cable length considerations

PolyVision provides a audio input cable with ēno play. Determine the cable path from the ēno play
amplifier to the audio source. If the distance to your audio source is longer or considerably shorter,
obtain alternate audio input cables from a third party.

PolyVision provides a 6 ft (1829mm) power cable and a 10 ft (3048mm) extension for the amplifier.
Before installing the amplifier, consider which edge of the whiteboard provides optimum access to a
power outlet.

If installing ēno play with any of the ēno one adjustable height solutions, make sure to account for
raising and lowering the whiteboard when you determine the required cable lengths. Refer to “Plan
power and audio input cable routing”. Do not proceed with ēno play installation until you are sure
you have the appropriate cable lengths for your installation.

Cable routing options to the amplifier

The ēno play amplifier includes cable connections for:

• two ēno play driver packs mounted to the back of the whiteboard

• a power outlet

• a permanent or a guest audio input source

The cable routing between the amplifier and the two driver packs is important. Cables must be
routed and secured as described in “Add cable ties and tape”.

The ēno play amplifier provides two audio input connectors: one guest connector and one
permanent connector. The guest connector faces away from the whiteboard for easy access. Refer
to “Using the guest audio input connector”. The permanent connector faces the center of the
whiteboard. Cable routing and cable management between the amplifier and a permanent audio
input source is important. Refer to “Plan power and audio input cable routing”.

Adjustable height mobile stand and wall mount considerations

If the ēno classic whiteboard is mounted using some older adjustable height solutions, PolyVision
provides a driver pack offset kit that must be added to the driver packs before they are fastened to
the whiteboard. Refer to “Install the driver pack with driver pack offset kit ”.

Fixed wall mount considerations

Whenever adding ēno play to a whiteboard that is mounted to the wall, you must first install bracket
extenders to the whiteboard wall brackets to allow space for the ēno play components behind the
whiteboard. Do not add bracket extenders when adding ēno play to a whiteboard that is mounted to
an adjustable height system. Refer to “Option: Install whiteboard wall bracket extenders”.

ēno play

Prepare the ēno classic whiteboard

Before beginning to install the ēno play components:

1. If installing ēno play on a new ēno classic whiteboard, unpack the whiteboard and wall
brackets.

Or

1. If installing ēno play on an ēno classic whiteboard that is already mounted to a wall or other
mounting solution, unfasten the screws holding the whiteboard to the mounting brackets and
remove the whiteboard.

2. Lean the ēno whiteboard against a wall with the back facing you.

Plan power and audio input cable routing

Important Note: Cable management is important. The cables between the driver packs and the

amplifier and any other cables routed against the back of the whiteboard must be secured by
cable ties as described in “Add cable ties and tape”.

PolyVision 2002480-001 Rev C 7 of 38

ēno play

Before beginning to install the ēno play components, measure and plan cable routing for the ēno
play amplifier power source and audio input. PolyVision provides a 25 ft (7629 mm) audio input
cable, and a power connector with a 6 ft (1829mm) cable plus a 10 ft (3048mm) power cable
extension.

Cable routing considerations include:

• Where is the closest AC power outlet?

• Will the ēno play installation support a guest or a permanent audio input source, or both? If using

the guest audio input connector, refer to “Using the guest audio input connector”.

• If using a permanent audio input source, Where is the source located? Is it above, below or to one

side of the whiteboard?

• How is the whiteboard mounted: directly to a wall, or to an adjustable height system?

Cable routing for whiteboards mounted directly to the wall

To route the amplifier power or permanent audio input cable for whiteboards that will be mounted
directly to the wall:

1. Consider the locations of the power and audio sources to determine cable length
requirements and whether to mount the amplifier on the left or right lower corner of the
whiteboard.

2. Connect the permanent audio input cable and power cable to the amplifier at the same time
that you connect the driver pack cables.

3. As appropriate and to the extent possible, route the power and audio cables in the same
cable bundle as the driver pack cables across the back of the whiteboard.

4. Add tie holders, cable ties and tape as necessary to secure all cables where they cross the
back of the whiteboard.

Note: For more details, refer to “Add cable ties and tape”.

Cable routing for adjustable height mobile stand or wall mount options

Note: When installing ēno play on a whiteboard that will be mounted using an adjustable height
system, do not connect the power or permanent audio input cable to the amplifier until after

cable routing is complete.

The adjustable height mobile stand and adjustable height wall mount provide a variety of cable
routing options for the power and permanent audio input cable, including:

• routing cables to sources above the whiteboard through the lift system turret within a split

corrugated conduit that is provided with the mounting solution

• routing cables from sources below the whiteboard

• for the adjustable height mobile stand, routing the audio input cable from a laptop tray fastened to

the back of the lift system

For more cable routing details relating to these options, refer to the installation and operation
manuals for your whiteboard mounting solution.

To route the amplifier power or permanent audio input cable when the whiteboard is mounted to an
adjustable height system:

1. Consider the locations of the power and audio sources to determine cable length
requirements, routing options, and whether to mount the amplifier on the lower left or lower
right corner of the whiteboard.

2. If the source is located above the whiteboard, route the cable down through the lift system
turret. Then route the cable from the turret base to the amplifier by passing the cable between
the lift system tubular structure and the whiteboard.

3. If the source is located below the whiteboard, route the cable from the source to the amplifier
by passing the cable between the lift system tubular structure and the whiteboard.

4. Add a cable tie to the base of the lift system, assuring a service loop between the cable tie
and the amplifier:

• ēno 2610 requires 27” (685mm) audio and power service loop

• ēno 2810 requires 35” (889mm) audio and power service loop

Note: For details, refer to “Option: Cable management for adjustable height systems”.
