Extron electronic MEDIALINK MLC 52 - Manual (Page 14)

Installation, cont’d
MLC 52 Series MediaLink Controllers • Installation 2-4
To prepare the site,
1 . Choose a location that will allow 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 or furniture before installing the controller. If using an
electrical box to wall mount the controller, locate a stud to which the box will
be attached.
2 . Use the appropriate template and faceplate dimensions in appendix B,
“Dimensions and Templates,” as a guide to measure and mark the area to cut
out. If you are using a mounting bracket, refer to the template that came with
the bracket.
3 . Cut out the opening in the wall or furniture.
Replacing the faceplate
You can replace the provided plastic faceplate with an optional metal one — the
MLM 52 1GWP one-gang metal faceplate (part #70-528-02 or -03) or the MLM 52 VC
two-gang metal faceplate (part # 70-538-02 or -03), both of which are available in
black or white. You may also wish to replace your plastic faceplate with one of a
different color (two plastic faceplates are provided, one black and one white).
To replace the faceplate,
1. Hold the MLC face down. Use an Extron Tweeker or a small Philips
screwdriver to remove the three attachment screws (marked
a
in the
diagram at right) from the back of the MLC, and keep them to replace later.
CAUTION If installing a metal faceplate, do not remove the screws from the front of
the faceplate.
2. Lift the MLC off the faceplate.
3. Place the MLC onto the new faceplate, aligning the MLC’s buttons with the
openings in the new faceplate and the three screw holes in the MLC with the
faceplate standoffs.
4. Replace the three screws removed in step 1, and manually tighten them.
Refer to the MLM 52 1GWP and/or the MLM 52 VC user’s guides for further
information on faceplates for the MLC 52.
