Mounting the Switcher

The MPS 112 and MPS 112CS are housed in 1U high, 17.4" wide metal enclosures that are rack- or desk-mountable. The appropriate rack/desk mounting kit (#70-077-03) is included with the switchers. The switchers may also be surface- mounted under a table, desk, or podium, or on a wall, using an optional Extron 1U enclosure under-desk mounting kit (#70-222-01).

Rack mounting

Rack mount the switcher as follows:

1.

Attach the supplied rack mounting brackets to the switcher with the eight

 

provided #8 machine screws (figure 2-1).

2.

Insert the switcher into the rack, align the holes in the mounting bracket with

 

those of the rack.

3.

Secure the switcher to the rack using the supplied machine screws.

Table or wall mounting

The table/wall mounting brackets extend approximately 1/4" (6.4 mm) above the top surface of the switcher enclosure. This design allows for an air space between the enclosure and the surface to which it is mounted. Table or wall mount the switcher as follows:

1.

Attach the table/wall mounting brackets to the switcher with the eight

 

provided #8 machine screws (figure 2-1).

2.

Hold the switcher with the attached brackets against the underside of the

 

table or other furniture, or against the wall. Mark the location of the screw

 

holes of the bracket on the mounting surface.

3.

Drill 3/32" (2 mm) diameter pilot holes, 1/4" (6.4 mm) deep in the mounting

 

surface at the marked screw locations.

4.

Insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten each screw into the

 

mounting surface until just less than 1/4" of the screw’s head protrudes.
