Mounting
The mountable transmitter (VTT001 MAAP) and mountable receiver (VTR001 MAAP) may
be attached to a wall with either a stud-mounted wall box or with an MR Series modular
mud ring (Extron part number: 70-519-xx). Both installations require the double spaced
MAAP connector frame, such as the CPM101). The transmitter/receiver module can also be
attached to any Extron MAAP device that accepts a double spaced AV connector panel, or
the modules may be rack mounted. The AAP version of the receiver mounts to Extron AAP
frames (see
Other Accessories on page 18).
Preparing the Wall Box
For wall and furniture mounting installations, the installation site must be deep enough for
both the wall box and the cables. The box should be at least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) deep.
Install cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing a wall box or bracket.
1. Place the wall box or mounting bracket against the installation surface, and mark the
guidelines for the opening on the wall or furniture.
2. Cut out the material from the marked area.
3. Insert the wall box or bracket to check the size and fit of the opening. Enlarge or
smooth the edges of the opening if needed.
4. If using a wall box, feed cables through the punch-out holes on the wall box, and secure
them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.
5. Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits. Trim back
and insulate shields with heat shrink.

CAUTION: To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the
point where the cable exits the cable clamp. Both braided and foil shields should
be connected to an equipment ground at the other end of the cable.
