Mounting

ATTENTION:

• Do not install the TLP Pro 1225MG, TLP Pro 1525MG, or TLP Pro 1725MG in a fire resistant rated wall or partition assembly.
• All structural steps and electrical installation must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local and national building codes and electrical codes.

Wall Mounting
The touchpanels can be wall mounted using the provided hardware. Where local codes require a rear metal enclosure, either model can be mounted using the Extron BB 700M (not provided). Figure 1 shows the TLP Pro 1525MG. Mount the TLP Pro 1225MG or
TLP Pro 1725MG in the same way.
With a wall box
Some local building codes require the touchpanel to be mounted in a wall box such as the Extron BB 700M. This installation procedure is described below.

1. Cut a hole in the drywall, 9.6 inches (243 mm) wide x 6.6 inches (166 mm) high, and install the BB 700M (see figure 1, 1), as described in the BB 700M Installation Guide (see www.extron.com).
2.  Place the metal mounting plate against the wall, mark the four mounting holes, and drill four pilot holes ( 2) in those locations.
3. Secure the mounting plate with four #10 screws ( 3).
4. Run and connect cables to the back of the touchpanel ( 4, and see Rear Panel Features on page 4).
5. Insert the two provided Phillips pan head #6-32 x ¾ inch length screws with washers in the mounting screw slot ( 5, see figure 1, Back View inset). Leave a gap for the flange at the bottom of the mounting plate to fit into.
6. Hold the touchpanel at a slight angle and lower the notches at the top of the back panel over the hooks of the mounting plate ( 6).
7. Swing the bottom of the touchpanel inwards so that it lies flat against the mounting plate with the flange at the bottom of the mounting plate sitting in a groove in the bottom of the touchpanel.
8. Secure the touchpanel to the mounting plate with the mounting screws ( 7).

Without a wall box
If the wall box is not required by local building codes, you can mount the touchpanel directly into drywall.

1. Download the cut-out template for your touchpanel from www.extron.com. Print it at 100% (no scaling).
2.  Use the template to mark the wall, cut the hole, and drill the four pilot holes. The size of the cut-out hole is 9.25 inches (235 mm) wide x 6.25 inches (159 mm) high.
3.  Secure the mounting plate and complete the installation, as described in steps 3 through 8 above.

Rack Mounting
These touchpanels can be mounted in any standard 19-inch equipment rack, using the optional rack mounting kit. The TLP Pro 1225MG can be mounted with the RM2 mounting kit. The TLP Pro 1525MG and the TLP Pro 1725MG can be mounted in the RM3 mounting kit. Read the “Underwriters Labs Guidelines for Rack Mounting” section of the TLP Pro 1225, 1525, and 1725 Series User Guide and follow the instructions provided with the appropriate kit.

NOTE: Some XTP models are able to remotely power these touchpanels but not all have that capability. Go to the Extron website and check the product page for your XTP model to ensure it can power your touchpanel.
An Extron IP Link Pro control processor must also be connected to the same network as the TouchLink Pro touchpanel.

Connecting Power

ATTENTION:

• Do not power on the touchpanels until you have read the Attention in the “Rear Panel Features” section of the TLP Pro 1225, 1525, and 1725 Series User Guide.

The TLP Pro 1725MG ships with the Extron PI 140 power injector included. For the TLP Pro 1225MG and TLP Pro 1525MG, the power injector must be purchased separately. Figure 4 shows the PI 140. Your power injector may look different.

1. Connect a straight-through Ethernet cable from the power injector to a switch or router (see figure 4, 1). This cable carries network information from the switch or router to the power supply input.

2.  Connect a second straight-through cable ( 2) from the power injector to the TLP Pro touchpanel XTP/LAN/PoE connector (see figure 3, I, on page 4).
   This cable carries the network information and 48 VDC from the power injector to the touchpanel.

3. Connect the IEC power cord to a convenient 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source (figure 4, 3).

Alternatively, use an Ethernet cable to connect the XTP/LAN/PoE port of the interface to a PoE+ switch or connect the touchpanel directly to an XTP model that is capable of remotely powering a touchpanel (see the note on page 4).
