Installation Overview

Installation

Install and set up the HSA surface access enclosures as follows:

1If you have an unprepared mounting template, prepare the template. See “Preparing the Routing Template” in this chapter.

2If 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 appropriate RJ-45 to RJ-11 Conversion Kit manual, for either the HSA 200 models or the HSA 222 models.

3If desired, install the optional flexible conduit kit to replace the removable AC power cord. Refer to the Flexible Conduit Kit manual.

4Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be installed and install the enclosure. The screw clamps secure the enclosure to the tabletop. See “Preparing the Table and Mounting the Enclosure” in this chapter.

5Run all cables necessary to support the AC power, RJ-45, and (for HSA 200 model only) video and audio connectors. Leave enough slack in the cables to connect them to the underside of the enclosure.

6Turn off all of the equipment to be connected. Ensure that the equipment connected to the RJ-45, video, and audio connectors are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.

7Connect the power, video, audio, and RJ-45 cables to the underside of the enclosure. See “Underside Features and Cabling Connections” in this chapter.

8On HSA 200SE and HSA 200CE models, set the gain switch.

9Connect and turn on the input and output devices.

10For HSA 200SE and HSA 200CE model installations, the picture should now appear and sound should be audible. If not, ensure that all devices are plugged in and receiving power. Check the cabling and gain setting, and make adjustments as needed.

11Peel the protective coating from the top surface.

Preparing the Routing Template

Extron provides a metal template for each HSA model at no charge. Appendix A lists the HSA 200 and HSA 222 template part numbers. 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 installing future HSA enclosures of the same size.
1.	Cut 1/2" x 4" strips of soft, finished lumber long enough to
	span the distance between the desired installation location
	on the mounting surface and the edges of the mounting
	surface (figure 2-1).

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
mounting template to the lumber strips.
	Do not allow the wood screws to protrude through
CAUTION
	the bottom of the wooden strips. Protruding screws

will mar the table when the template is used.
