Extron Electronics PoleVault Digital Switcher Systems PVS 405D - Manual (Page 7)

Introduction
Overview
This guide covers the installation of the Extron PoleVault Digital System, and also the
installation methods for each type of WallVault and PlenumVault enclosure.
NOTE: PoleVault, WallVault, and PlenumVault Digital systems use the same digital PVS
switcher, input source AV devices, control device, and ceiling speakers. However,
the systems have different mounting enclosures, (PMK 560, USFM 100, WMK 160,
and PVM 220), depending on the system type. This guide attempts to use a basic
PoleVault Digital System setup to cover installing the common system components,
and highlights the different enclosure installations separately.
The PoleVault Digital System is used in a drop ceiling room with a wood or concrete
structural ceiling. If the location has a concrete or beam style ceiling, alternative ceiling
mounts can be obtained separately from Extron.
WallVault Systems are specifically developed for classrooms or lecture rooms with a wall
mounted short-throw projector or flat panel display. WallVault Systems utilize either the
USFM 100 or WMK 160 enclosures to securely mount and conceal the system switching
and audio amplification components on the wall.
PlenumVault Systems are designed for rooms with a suspended ceiling. They utilize the
PVM 220 PlenumVault Mounting Kit that securely mounts and conceals system components
in the plenum space above the suspended ceiling.
It is assumed that the installer has some knowledge and experience of AV, electrical,
or electronic device installation. This guide takes the AV installer through the steps for
installation and connection of each of the system component parts.
It may be that the locations for the devices (for example, wall plates, projector, and screen)
have been pre-determined. However, some room installation examples are given to help in
installations where final location is yet to be determined.
The Digital PoleVault, WallVault, and PlenumVault Systems
The Digital PoleVault, WallVault, and PlenumVault Systems are easy-to-use, network-
enabled, all-inclusive packages, making them ideal for single-display classrooms. These
Systems use shielded twisted pair cables for transmitting signals and include network
connectivity for Web-based asset management, monitoring, and control.
NOTES:
• The hardware and devices listed on the inventory pages have detailed safety
information, installation, set-up, and configuration instructions which should be
referred to as needed.
• For operation and setup of the projector, screen, and input devices, refer to the
relevant manufacturer manuals supplied with those devices.
• A PoleVault System Installation video is viewable online at www.extron.com .
This video is also a step by step guide to installing PoleVault System and is useful
for first-time installations.
