Installation
Installation Overview
CAUTION Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. UL
Listed electrical boxes are recommended. See “UL Requirements” below.
To install and set up a MediaLink Controller, follow these steps:
1 If applicable, prepare the installation site: cut a hole in the wall/furniture,
install the electrical box or mud ring, and prepare the cables. Instructions are
included in this manual and/or with the optional faceplate, mounting device,
or wall box. See “Preparing the site and installing the wall box” in this
chapter.
2 Remove the faceplate. See “Replacing faceplates and labels” in this chapter.
3 Make and install labels. See “Replacing faceplates and labels” in this chapter.
4 Reinstall the original faceplate or attach a different faceplate to the MLC. See
“Replacing faceplates and labels” in this chapter.
5 For an MLC 206 AAP EC or an optional faceplate with spaces for installing
Extron Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs), attach the AAPs to the faceplate.
6 Attach cables to the rear of the MLC and to the projector, room devices,
optional control modules (IRCMs, ACMs, RCMs), optional IR Link,
IR Emitters or IR Broadcaster, and optional switcher. See “Rear/bottom panel
cable connections” in this chapter. If applicable, also attach cables to the back
of the optional AAP plates.
7 Connect power cords and turn on all the devices, including the MLC.
8 Configure the controller by using the included Windows ® -based control
software or Simple Instruction Set™ commands. See chapter four.
9 Test the system: press the MLC’s buttons, watch the display, and listen to the
audio output to determine whether the output devices are responding
correctly (powering on/off, switching inputs). If not, ensure that all devices
are plugged in and receiving power. Check the cabling; make adjustments as
needed.
10 Attach the MLC to the wall, furniture, equipment rack, or Euro Channel.
A. Disconnect the MLC’s power supply at the source end (not at the MLC).
B. Disconnect the other devices’ power.
C. Secure the faceplate onto the UL-approved electrical wall box, the mud
ring, the wall or furniture, the rack, or the Euro Channel. See
“Mounting the MLC” in this chapter.
D. Restore power to the MLC and to the connected devices.
