About the SCP 100P

The Extron SCP 100P control panel replicates the front panel controls of the Extron System 5cr Plus system switcher, and it is also compatible with the System 5cr switcher. The Input 3 button on the control panel corresponds to the PC3 button on the front panel of the System 5cr. Up to two SCP 100Ps can be connected to the System 5cr/5cr Plus.

4.Insert the wall box (if used) into the wall, and attach the wall box to the wall stud (2” x 4”) or furniture with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the wall surface, as shown in the following illustration.

The switcher cannot be configured from the SCP 100P control pad. All switcher setup must be done from the switcher’s front panel or via RS-232 control.

The SCP is hard-wired to the system switcher, and it can also receive IR (infrared) signals from the System 5cr or System 5cr Plus’ IR 401 remote control and pass them to the switcher.

Refer to the System 5cr Plus User’s Manual (part #68-498-01) for details on installing and operating the switcher.

The SCP 100P includes a 2-gang wall box, and it can be mounted in a wall, desk, or podium. The SCP 100P is available in three faceplate colors: grey (part #60-331-01), black (part #60-331-02), and white (part #60-331-03).

Preparing the site, installing the wall box

An electrical box is included with each SCP 100P, but a different box can be used. The box must be deep enough to contain the SCP’s electrical components and the connected cables.

The electrical box can be attached to wall studs or to furniture, or the SCP 100P can be mounted in areas of walls or furniture without studs if using an optional Extron 2-gang mounting bracket, part #70-086-01.

Use the full-size rough-in template provided on page A-4 as a guide to mark and cut the hole in the wall or furniture through which the SCP 100P will be installed. The template includes the recommended 0.1” (0.25 cm) clearance on all sides of the electrical wall box to allow room for the raised areas surrounding the knockouts.

1.Cut out the center portion of the template. Cut up to the dashed line if using an electrical box, or cut up to the dotted line if an electrical box will not be used.

2.If wall-mounting the SCP 100P, locate a stud to which the wall box will be attached.

3.Using the provided template, mark and cut out the opening on the wall/furniture.

To attach the wall box to wood, use four #8 to #10 wood or sheet metal screws. A minimum of 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of screw threads must penetrate the wood. If the wood is a 2 x 4, such as a wall stud, 10-penny or larger nails can be used.

To attach the electrical wall box to metal, use four #8 or #10 sheet metal screws (self-tapping) or #8 or #10 machine bolts with matching nuts.

If mounting brackets will be used instead of studs, follow the mounting instructions that came with the brackets.

5.Feed the cables through the wall box. Cable clamps should be used to hold the cables in place for strain relief.

6.Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with heat shrink.
