Overview
NOTES:
•
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. This guide attempts to use a basic PoleVault Digital System setup to cover installing the
common system components, and highlights the different enclosure installations separately.
•
In this guide, where used, the generic term "12 VDC power supply", refers to either the 12 VDC, 48
Watt 4 Amp power supply, or the 12 VDC, 50 Watt, 4.2 Amp power supply ONLY, as supplied by
Extron.
The PoleVault Digital System is used in a drop ceiling room with a wood or concrete structural ceiling. If the
location has a concrete or beam style ceiling, alternative ceiling mounts can be obtained separately from
Extron.
WallVault Systems are specifically developed for classrooms or lecture rooms with a wall mounted short-throw
projector or flat panel display. WallVault Systems utilize either the USFM 100 or WMK 160 enclosures to
securely mount and conceal the system switching and audio amplification components on the wall.
PlenumVault Systems are designed for rooms with a suspended ceiling. They utilize the PVM 220
PlenumVault Mounting Kit that securely mounts and conceals system components in the plenum space above
the suspended ceiling.
It is assumed that the installer has some knowledge and experience of AV, electrical, or electronic device
installation. This guide takes the AV installer through the steps for installation and connection of each of the
system component parts.
It may be that the locations for the devices (for example: wallplates, projector, and screen) have been pre-
determined. However, some room installation examples are given to help in installations where final location
is yet to be determined.
