4. Insert the wall box (if used) into the wall, and attach
the wall box to the wall stud (2” x 4”) or furniture
with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with

illustration.

To attach the wall box to wood, use four #8 to #10
wood or sheet metal screws. A minimum of 1/2 inch
(1.25 cm) of screw threads must penetrate the wood.
If the wood is a 2 x 4, such as a wall stud, 10-penny or
larger nails can be used.
To attach the electrical wall box to metal, use four #8
or #10 sheet metal screws (self-tapping) or #8 or #10
machine bolts with matching nuts.
If mounting brackets will be used instead of studs, follow
the mounting instructions that came with the brackets.
5. Feed the cables through the wall box. Cable clamps
should be used to hold the cables in place for strain
relief.
6. Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential
sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate
shields with heat shrink.

Introduction and Installation
About the SCP 100P
The Extron SCP 100P control panel replicates the front panel
controls of the Extron System 5cr Plus system switcher, and it is
also compatible with the System 5cr switcher. The Input 3
button on the control panel corresponds to the PC3 button on
the front panel of the System 5cr. Up to two SCP 100Ps can be
connected to the System 5cr/5cr Plus.
The switcher cannot be configured from the SCP 100P
control pad. All switcher setup must be done from the
switcher’s front panel or via RS-232 control.
The SCP is hard-wired to the system switcher, and it can also
receive IR (infrared) signals from the System 5cr or System 5cr
Plus’ IR 401 remote control and pass them to the switcher.
Refer to the System 5 cr Plus User’s Manual (part #68-498-01) for
details on installing and operating the switcher.
The SCP 100P includes a 2-gang wall box, and it can be mounted
in a wall, desk, or podium. The SCP 100P is available in three
faceplate colors: grey (part #60-331-01), black (part #60-331-02),
and white (part #60-331-03).

Installation Instructions
Preparing the site, installing the wall box
An electrical box is included with each SCP 100P, but a different
box can be used. The box must be deep enough to contain the
SCP’s electrical components and the connected cables.
The electrical box can be attached to wall studs or to furniture,
or the SCP 100P can be mounted in areas of walls or furniture
without studs if using an optional Extron 2-gang mounting
bracket, part #70-086-01.
Use the full-size rough-in template provided on page A-4 as a
guide to mark and cut the hole in the wall or furniture through
which the SCP 100P will be installed. The template includes the
recommended 0.1” (0.25 cm) clearance on all sides of the
electrical wall box to allow room for the raised areas
surrounding the knockouts.
1. Cut out the center portion of the template. Cut up to
the dashed line if using an electrical box, or cut up to
the dotted line if an electrical box will not be used.
2. If wall-mounting the SCP 100P, locate a stud to which
the wall box will be attached.
3. Using the provided template, mark and cut out the
opening on the wall/furniture.
