If using a wall box, see “Mounting the MKP to a mounting
mud ring or wall box,” later in this chapter.
8 Restore power to the devices.
Installation Procedures
The MKPs can be mounted into a wall, furniture, or any other
convenient location. The MKP 3000 L can also be installed in a
rack, using the optional UCM RAAP Universal Controller Rack
Mounting Kit, part #70-344-02, -03). Follow the instructions
appropriate to the mounting option you have selected.
CAUTION The control panel must be installed into a
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approved electrical
wall box.
When installing MKP control panels, you must conform
to all national and local electrical codes.
Preparing the site
Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference.
Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. You
may need to install the cables into the wall, furniture, or
conduits before installing the control panel.
The installation must conform to national and local electrical
codes and to the equipment’s size requirements. Cutout
templates that show the cut-out requirement for the circuitry
enclosure on the rear of the control panel are provided in
appendix A of this manual.
CAUTION Only the MKP 3000 template in this manual is to
scale. Use the others for reference only.
CAUTION Installation and service must be performed by
authorized personnel only. Extron recommends
that only UL listed electrical boxes be used. See
“UL Requirements for Wall Box Installation,” on
the next page.
The MKP 3000 remote control panel should be installed in a
standard, 2-gang electrical wall box (figure 2-1). The
MKP 3000 MAAP should be installed in a 3-gang wall box.
Figure 2-1 shows the MKP installed in a wall. This could also be in
a desk, a podium, or any other convenient location. The
MKP 3000 L can be installed in a lectern or in a rack using the
optional UCM RAAP controller rack mounting kit.
The procedures provided here assume that the electrical wall
boxes and the cables have been installed for the system. “Rear
Panel and Side Panel Connections,” starting on page 2-10,
provides guidance for terminating the cables.
