Extron electronics Decora Style1-Gang Wallplate WP CTL D Installation Manual

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

5. Connect the RS-232 cable to the rear panel RS-232
connector by inserting the ground wire into the hole
marked "G", the transmit wire into the hole marked
"Tx", and the receive wire into the hole marked
"Rx" (see inset, step 5).
