Introduction Overview This guide covers the installation of the Extron PoleVault Digital System, and also the installation methods for each type of WallVault and PlenumVault enclosure. NOTE: PoleVault, WallVault, and PlenumVault Digital systems use the same digital PVS switcher, input source AV devices, control device, and ceiling speakers. However, the systems have different mounting enclosures, (PMK 560, USFM 100, WMK 160, and PVM 220), depending on the system type.
Before You Begin — Planning the Installation Before installation is started, you must consider several major factors to ensure that the installation process is as smooth and trouble free as possible, and so that the final finished project meets the needs of the customers, users, audiences, and installer. The installation considerations on the following pages, though not comprehensive, should be consulted to help ensure that key installation aspects have been considered.
