WP CTL D Installation Guide

The Extron WP CTL D is a Decora style 1-gang wall plate which passes RS-232 control signals from a computer or control system, and IR signals from an IR source.

Install it directly into the wall using a mud ring, or in a 1-gang junction box (not supplied), following the steps below.

1.Using a mud ring or a junction box as a guide, mark the holes and cut out the

material within the marked area.

NIf installing a junction box, allow enough depth for the wall plate and cables.

The box should be at least 2.0” (5.1 cm) deep to accommodate the connectors, plate, and cables.

2. Either

• Insert the mud ring into the opening, rotate

the dog legs, and secure with the screws provided,

or

• Insert the wall box and secure with 10-penny nails

or screws.

3.Run the RS-232 and IR signal cables behind the wall and thread them through the mud ring or wall box.

NExtron recommends using a good quality, low capacitance, shielded cable such as an Extron CTL or SPL Control cable.
