Mounting screws (4)
Faceplate attachment screws (4)
a
Mounting screws (4) — Use these to attach the MLC to a wall, furniture, or
other mounting surface.
b
Faceplate attachment screws (4) — Do not remove these screws during or
after mounting. They attach the faceplate to the MLC unit. Removing these
screws during or after mounting will cause the MLC to detach, and it may
then fall down into the wall or furniture.
Grounding to reduce electrostatic discharge
Extron products with faceplates designed for installation into a wall or furniture
(such as the MLC, SCP, and control modules) can be adversely affected by
electrostatic discharge (ESD) if they are not grounded correctly.
To avoid malfunctions, if these products are not installed into a grounded metal
electrical box
, ground the faceplates in one of two ways:
7.
Power on the peripheral devices and the MLC and test the system.
8.
If you discover any wiring errors, disconnect power to all devices, correct the
wiring, then reconnect power and test the system again.
9.
Carefully feed wires back into the wall or furniture and mount the MLC as
described in the next section of this chapter, “Mounting the MLC”.
