Installation and Setup

Installation Overview

CAUTION Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.

To install and set up an RGB 580xi, follow these steps:

1Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the computer, the RGB 580xi, and the output devices (projector/monitor, speakers) are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.

2For under-desk mounting:

A.Determine the installation location: table, desk, podium, or other suitable location. If Architectural Adapter Plates are to be connected to the interface, consider where they will be located in relation to the interface. See “Application Diagrams” in this chapter.

B.Mount the interface. See “Under-desk/-table/ -podium mounting” in this chapter.

3Attach output cables to the rear panel of the interface and to the output devices. See “Rear Panel Features and Cabling” in this chapter.

4Attach input cables to the input devices and to the interface’s front panel connectors. See “Front Panel Features and Cabling” in this chapter.

5Set the front panel DIP switches. Use the “Front Panel Features and Cabling” section of this chapter as a guide.

6Connect power cords and turn on the output devices (projector/monitor, speakers), the remote interface, and audio and video input devices.

7The picture should appear, and sound should be audible. If not, ensure that all devices are plugged in and receiving power. Check the cabling and make adjustments as needed.

8While watching the display, adjust the video level and peaking by using the rotary Level and Peaking controls. See “Front Panel Adjustments” in this chapter.

Under-desk/-table/-podium mounting

1.Attach the under-desk mounting brackets

(part #70-077-01) to the interface with the six machine screws (provided in the mounting kit), as shown below. This procedure may also apply to table or podium mounting applications. See “Application Diagrams” in this chapter.

2.Hold the interface with attached brackets against the underside of the desk or other furniture. Mark the location of holes for screws on the desk. See appendix B for mounting dimensions.

3.Drill 1/4" (6.4 mm) deep, 3/32" (2.38 mm) diameter pilot holes in the table or desk at the marked screw locations from the underside or inside (concealed side) of the furniture, where the interface will be located.

4.Insert the four wood screws into the pilot holes. Fasten each screw into the installation surface until just less than 1/4" of the screw protrudes.

5.Align the installed screws with the slots in the mounting brackets, and place the interface against the surface, with the screws through the bracket slots.

6.Slide the interface slightly forward or back, then tighten all four screws to fasten it in place.
