1. Introduction
On-Q/Legrand offers a Home Entertainment Connection Center (HECC) (P/N HT1000) which provides an
attractive, convenient interface to your entertainment center (see Figure 1). The HECC provides a single
connection point for all the remote cabling used in most home entertainment centers, including phone,
video, and data connections. Additional whole house distributed audio can be interfaced with the On-
Q/Legrand lyriQ™ Audio system or traditional speaker level audio distribution system with the 6 Room
Audio Module. The HECC is recess mounted and provides a low profile interface which includes a cover
that hides unsightly wire connections and aids in wire management.
2. Description
The HECC comes with a Source Input Mounting Plate (P/N 364886-01) , that enables the use of a
lyriQ™Single or Triple Source Input Unit (see Figure 2).
The HECC has a built in interface board for pre-wired Home Theater cabling (5.1, 6.1, 7.1). Also included is one universal Keystone style
phone RJ45 Insert, data RJ45 Insert, and three feed through "F" connector inserts for CATV, AUX, and Satellite. Additional universal Keystone
Inserts can be added for increased functionality.
The HECC employs a "User side" (front) and an "Installer side" (rear) designed to simplify wire terminations. The "User side" allows easy
access to telephone, data, CATV, DSS, and audio connection points. The "Installer side" allows easy access to the rear connection points by
rotating the top portion of the HECC outward and downward thus displaying readable connection diagrams. The cover is an attractive white
powder coated metal which allows cable access through the bottom and includes an installed plunger for quick access.
3. Installation
Installation of the On-Q/Legrand HECC 7.1 is best accomplished at multiple times during new construction, at "Rough-in" before the drywall is
installed, and at "Trim-out" after the drywall is installed and painted.
NOTE: Please refer to the lyriQ™ Source Input Unit Instruction Sheets (IS-0319 and IS-0326) for additional module-specific
installation instructions (if applicable).
"Rough-in" Steps
A. The HECC should be located near the home entertainment area considering home owner access
needs, wiring, and cabling. Preferably it will be in a full stud cavity (16" center) and the stud cavity
should not be shared with HVAC, plumbing, or major high voltage cabling. Typical installation will be
centered on a wall. If the preferred mounting height is unknown, the HECC should be mounted at
outlet height.
B. Mount the pre-construction bracket (see Figure 3) to the studs with drywall screws, with the inner
square HECC mounting flange on the frame pointed in towards the inside of the wall. Keep the
bracket level to assure proper appearance when installation is complete.
NOTE: The HECC is not firewall rated and should not be mounted in designated firewalls.
C. Cable Rough-in:
1) Surround Sound pre-wire (if applicable): 16/2 or 14/2 speaker wire should be run from the HECC location to each In-Wall/In-Ceiling
speaker pre-construction bracket location, leaving extra cable at both ends. The provided Speaker Brackets may be used to identify
the exact location of the speakers. There are clips on the speaker brackets to secure a coil of speaker wire, which will be connected
to the speaker at trim-out.
