Page 6: Before Getting Started
Before Getting Started Planning AVTrac can be installed before new carpeting is fitted or retrofitted under pre-existing carpet. It can also be installed in new construction before the wall and carpeting is in place. Retrofitting the track in a space with existing carpeting and furniture requires some extra preparation to remove the carpet and prepare the floor for laying the track. - Page 7 Room Considerations Determine the A/V requirements for the room. Extron provides a complete range of AAPs that can be purchased separately to provide fully customizable central connectivity. Select the best configuration for existing furniture, equipment, cables and the AVTrac. It may help to mark the position of the track using a marker pen or tape.
- Page 8 Before Getting Started, Tools and Equipment Required for Installation Almost everything you need to install your AVTrac system has been included. You will need some basic tools and materials depending on the facility and requirements. You can visit www.extron.com for a full range of cables and components for populating the connectivity box. N All structural steps and electrical installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local and national building codes and/or local and national electrical codes.
- Page 9 Installation By this point you must have decided exactly where the AVTrac will be installed, checked the contents of the kit, and gathered the tools that you will need. Extron recommends consulting a carpeting expert before removing the carpet. Determine whether the installation will be in new construction, under pre-existing carpet tiles or under pre-existing carpet rolls, and follow the appropriate instructions.

To run cables from the AVTrac system inside a drywall cavity, follow these instructions: If necessary, remove the baseboard from the bottom of the wall and mark where the AVTrac will abut the...
- Page 11 Installation Measure and cut the track pieces to the desired length. N If the track is to be cut, the base track must be 10” (25.4 cm) longer than the cover track. This is the length of the connectivity box, which sits on the base track but not on the cover track (see figure below right).
- Page 12 Installation Drill mounting holes in the shallow grooves of the base track and side ramps using a 1/4" or 6 mm bit for drilling metal (not supplied). N Mounting holes must be a maximum of 3' (91 cm) apart and one must be within 6" (15.2 cm) of each end of the track.
- Page 13 Lay the base track on the floor in the prepared location. Mate the tabs in the side ramps with the grooves in the base track, and place the end ramps in position at the end of the track furthest from the wall.

Installation By this point, the base track, side ramps and end ramps must be securely fastened to the floor. To attach the connectivity box to the base track, follow these instructions: Reposition the connectivity box, in the correct orientation, over the pre-drilled holes in the base track (see instruction 3-3). - Page 15 Installation By this point, the connectivity box must be securely fastened to the floor. If the AVTrac system does not include the AC power module, ignore this section. To attach the AC power module, follow these instructions: Switch off all electrical power before connecting the AC conduit to a junction box, and keep power off until installation is complete.
- Page 16 Installation The AC power module must be positioned under the triple AAP socket that is closest to the track. Seat the power module on the stud in the connectivity box. Slide the power module side tabs into the slots on the side of the connectivity box.
- Page 17 Installation At this point, the track, ramps and connectivitly box must all be securely in place, and the AC power module must be attached to the connectivity box and connected to an AC junction box. To attach the Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs), follow these instructions: Select up to seven AAPs to fill the remaining spaces in the cover of the connectivity box.
- Page 18 Installation At this point, the track and connectivity box must be secured to the floor, the electrical power must be connected, and the AAP sockets must be populated. To complete the installation of the AVTrac, follow these instructions: Lay the cables and power cords flat against the base track.
- Page 19 Glue or tape the carpet to the floor and side ramps. N Do not use the supplied tape to attach the carpet to the ramp. The tape is intended only for the attaching the rubber inlay strip to the cover track. Using the provided template, trim the wall baseboard to fit snugly around the track.
