Overview
The Hydraport Retractable Cable Modules are designed to be used in conjunction with
the HPX-600/900/1200 or the HydraPort Touch (7"/10") Connection Port base
assembly, to provide the convenience of various types of cables in a Hydraport System.
The HPX-AV103-RGB+A-R RGB+Stereo Module with Retractable MyTurn-Ready Cable
(FG552-35) provides an RGB+Stereo cable in a retractable spool that mounts into the
Hydraport base assembly (FIG. 1).
With the addition of a MyTurn™ Source Selection Button (FG554-21) optional
accessory, participants can send their content to the display at the press of a button
without moving from their seat. Any MyTurn-Ready cable may be equipped with the
MyTurn solution See FIG. 1.

FIG. 1
Note that the retractable cable (which connects to the Source device) features two
3.5mm ports, one on either side of the RGB connector. One connects to the source
device's audio output (via the Stereo Audio Patch Cable). The second is an inactive
storage port for the Stereo Audio Patch Cable.
Note: Always keep the Stereo Audio Patch Cable plugged into this storage port when not
in use. This is to both protect the plug, and to avoid the potential for noise on this cable.
Installation
Warning! - Do not attempt to open the retractable cable module enclosure. There are
no serviceable parts inside the module.
- Opening the module enclosure may result in an uncontrolled release of spring
forces which could cause serious injury and/or equipment damage.
- Opening the module enclosure will void the product warranty.
Warning! - installation of the Hydraport in the table should ensure the pull-out length
of the cable can reach all potential users of connectivity, as excessively pulling on a
fully extended cable can irreparably damage the retractor module.
Caution: Only use a hand-held #2 Phillips-head screwdriver for mounting this unit. Over-
tightening the screws can hinder performance or damage the unit.
For existing HPX installations, the HPX base must be removed from the mounting
surface. See "Existing Installations" on page 2 for HPX Base removal instructions.
1.
Remove the (silver) pivot screw in the center of the End Cap (FIG. 2). There is an
internal tooth washer underneath it. Keep them together for re-installation.
2.
Remove the four (black) sheet metal screws that secure the two-piece End Cap to
the HPX assembly (additional top two screws only on one-piece end cap models).

RGB+Stereo Module with Retractable
The HPX-AV103-RGB+A-R RCM cable cartridge has a new mounting scheme from
underneath the table to simplify installation and upgrade of retractable cable modules.
This version RCM has a detachable mounting collar that is installed into the Hydraport
base first and then the cable cartridge is reattached to the mounting collar.
Securely holding the HPX-AV103-ETH-R RCM, extract enough cable to lay the cable
cartridge on the floor while installing the mounting collar into the HPX Base Assembly
(~3ft). When extracting 5 feet (1.5m) cable from the RCM, follow these simple steps:
4.
Pull up to 1.5 meters of cable straight up out of the RCM and then lay it down.
5.
Watch for red tape on the cable when extracting. It is a warning to slow pull for
the final 1 foot to avoid damage to the RCM.

7.
Lift the mounting collar away from the cable cartridge until the tongue is clear and
then slide to the side to clear the hook.
8.
Feed the mounting collar up through the table cutout to reach the HPX base
assembly. Align the mounting notches on the mounting collar with the mounting
rails on the HPX (FIG. 5).
Note: Module mounting collars are notched in a "tongue and groove" type fashion
to ensure that all modules are oriented correctly in the HPX. Note the orientation of
the notched mounting collar on each module before sliding the module(s) into the
HPX assembly. On RCMs, ensure the retract buttons are all on the same side.

9.
Slide the mounting collar into position.
10.
Install any remaining module mounting collars into the HPX base.
Re-Install the End-Cap
Caution: Do not use a high-powered torque screw driver. Over-tightening these screws
can damage the product.
1.
Align the Mounting Notches on the End Cap with the Mounting Rails on the HPX base.
2.
Slide the End Cap into the HPX base until it is fully inserted against the end of the
base assembly. Watch out for the tension spring under the pivot pawl popping the
pivot pawl off the end cap while pressing against the lid pivot point.
3.
Secure the End Cap with the 4 to 6 (black) sheet metal screws (FIG. 2).
4.
Replace the (silver) pivot screw in the center of the End Cap.
