4.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other side of the YCS.

5.

Hold the unit with the attached brackets against the

 

underside of the table or other furniture. On the mounting

 

surface, mark the location of the bracket’s screw holes.

6.

Drill 3/32” (2 mm) diameter pilot holes, ¼” (6.3 mm) deep

 

in the mounting surface at the marked screw locations.

7.

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

 

each screw into the mounting surface until slightly less

 

than ¼” of the screw head protrudes.

8.

Align the mounting screws with the slots in the brackets

 

and place the unit against the surface, with the screws

 

through the bracket slots.

9.

Slide the unit slightly forward or back, then tighten all four

 

screws to secure it in place.

Projector mounting

To projector-mount the YCS SW2, three optional mounting kits are available for use with the YCS SW2.

PMK 100 Mini Projector Mount Kit

The PMK 100 is a projector mounting kit (part # 70-217-01) designed for use with Extron 1U high, quarter-rack width products like the VersaTools products. It allows them to be mounted near or on a projector support.

Follow these steps to projector-mount the YCS SW2 using the PMK 100 kit:

1.

If rubber feet were previously attached to the bottom of the

 

unit, remove them.

2.

Remove the two screws from one side of the YCS. Retain

 

the screws for possible later reassembly.

3.

Attach the projector mounting bracket to the side of the

 

unit, using the provided machine screws.
