Installation
Step 1: Track
By this point you must have decided exactly where the AVTrac will be installed, checked the contents of the
kit, and gathered the tools that you will need.
Extron recommends consulting a carpeting expert before removing the carpet.
1. Determine whether the installation will be in new construction, under preexisting carpet tiles or under
preexisting carpet rolls, and follow the appropriate instructions.
When installing AVTrac under preexisting carpet, if possible, completely remove the carpet from where
the track will be laid. If this is not possible, the carpet must be cut. After removing the carpet, make sure
that the concrete base is level and structurally sound. Prior to installation, leveling and topping may be
needed.
New Construction
When AVTrac is being placed in a new
building, the carpet should not be laid until
the track has been installed.
Prelaid Carpet Tiles
For installation of AVTrac under prelaid
carpet tiles, peel back the carpet to expose
the concrete where the track and side ramps
will be positioned (as shown in the figure at
right).
Prelaid Carpet Rolls — Peel back Carpet
If AVTrac is being installed in a room that
is already fitted with carpet rolls, the ideal
solution is to peel back the entire carpet
roll(s) covering the area where the track will
run.
