Installation Overview

Installation

Install and set up the HSA 822 as follows:

1If desired, install the optional RJ-45 to RJ-11 conversion kit(s) to replace one or more RJ-45 connectors with RJ-11 connectors. Refer to the RJ-45 to RJ-11 Conversion Kit manual.

2If desired, install the optional flexible conduit kit to replace the removable AC power cord. Refer to the Flexible Conduit Kit manual.

3If you have an unprepared mounting template, prepare the template. See “Preparing the Routing Template” on the next page.

4Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be installed and install the enclosure. The clamshell, a clamping and protective device, clamps the enclosure to the table. See “Preparing the Table and Mounting the Enclosure” on page 2-4.

5Run all cables necessary to support the AC and

RJ-45 connectors and all planned AAP connectors. Leave enough slack in the cables to connect them to the underside of the enclosure or to the rear of the AAPs before the AAPs are installed in the enclosure.

6Turn off all of the equipment to be connected. Ensure that the equipment connected to the RJ-45 connectors and the connections for any AAPs are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.

7If applicable, connect cables to the rear connectors on the AAPs to be installed in the HSA 822. Install the desired AAPs on the AAP panel of the enclosure. See “Cabling and Installing the AAPs” on page 2-8.

8Connect the power and RJ-45 cables to the underside of the enclosure. See “Cabling the Enclosure” on page 2-10.

9Route and secure the AAP cables inside the clamshell. See “Routing the AAP Cables” on page 2-12.

10If present, peel the protective coating from the top surface.

11Connect power cords and turn on the devices that connect to the surface access enclosure.

Preparing the Routing Template

Extron provides a metal routing template for the HSA 822 at no charge. The HSA 822 template is part #70-191-01. Extron recommends using this template as a guide to cut the hole in the table where the HSA will be installed.

		The metal routing template is reusable. Do not discard
		this template when the installation is complete. Save it
		for future HSA 822 installations.
1.	Cut 1/2" x 4" strips of soft, finished lumber long enough to
	span the distance between the desired installation location
	on the table or other mounting surface and the edges of
	the table (figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1 — Prepared routing template

These strips raise the routing template above the mounting surface to provide room for the router’s collar, protect the mounting surface, and extend the reach of the routing template so that it can be clamped to the edge of the surface.

2.	Using four or more short wood screws, secure the routing
	template to the lumber strips.
		Do not allow the wood screws to protrude through
	CAUTION	Do not allow the wood screws to protrude through
		the bottom of the wooden strips. Protruding screws
		will mar the table when the template is used.
