Preparing the Table and Mounting the Enclosure

The preferred and recommended method for preparing the table is to use the appropriate Extron metal routing template and a router. See the part numbers for the templates in appendix A, “Reference Information”.

Alternatively, you can use a paper cut-out template (see appendix A, “Reference Information”) and a sabre saw or keyhole saw, but this method is not recommended.

Prepare the table as follows:

 

CAUTION

The opening in the table for the HSA should be cut

 

 

 

only by licensed and bonded craftspeople. Exercise

 

 

 

care to prevent scarring or damaging the furniture.

 

 

 

The routing templates for the various HSA models

 

 

 

are not interchangeable. If you use the wrong

 

 

 

template, you will cut an improperly-sized hole. If

 

 

 

you use a larger template than required, the cut will

 

 

 

result in gaps in the table surface on either side of

 

 

 

the enclosure.

 

 

 

The surfaces of the HSA enclosure have screws and

 

 

 

other protruding hardware that could damage fine

 

 

 

furniture. Do not rest the enclosure on unprotected

 

 

 

furniture.

 

 

The metal routing template is reusable. Do not discard

 

 

 

 

the template when the installation is complete. Save it

 

 

for installing other HSA products of the same size.

1.

Locate the desired mounting location on the tabletop or

 

other installation surface. Mark the location.

 

 

Ensure that only the wooden strips on the routing

 

CAUTION

 

 

 

template contact the furniture. Failure to do so may

 

 

 

mar the furniture.

2.

Place the mounting template assembly on the table,

 

centered on the mounting location. Angle the template for

 

the optimum positioning. If necessary, use a square to

 

ensure that the template is properly positioned. Extron is

 

not responsible for improperly-positioned HSA products.

3.

Once the template assembly is positioned properly, secure

 

the assembly to the table with C-clamps (figure 2-2).

Figure 2-2 — Cutting the opening with a router

 

 

 

 

 

Wear safety glasses when operating the router.

 

 

 

 

 

Failure to comply can result in eye injury.

4.

Using a router with a 5/8" (or 16 mm) outside diameter

 

guide bushing and a 1/2" (or 12 mm or 12.7 mm) diameter

 

straight router bit, carefully cut the opening in the table

 

surface (figure 2-2).

5.

Remove the C-clamps and the routing template.

 

 

 

 

 

The flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

are sharp. To prevent personal injury, exercise

 

 

 

 

 

caution when the HSA is not installed in a table.

 

 

 

The flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure

 

CAUTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

are bevelled to an ultra-fine thickness of less than

0.04(4/100)" (approximately 1 mm). These edges are soft and can be easily nicked or bent. Exercise caution when handling and mounting the enclosure. Mishandling can damage the appearance of the enclosure.

6. Remove the plastic strips that protect the flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure. If a sticky residue remains, remove it with an appropriate metal cleaning product.

CAUTION

Do not use isopropyl alcohol or other solvents to

 

clean the HSA. Strong solvents will ruin some

 

finishes.
