Installation guide

3. Use the alignment marks scribed on the template to align the template properly
on the mounting surface (FIG. 3).
• Note that due to the guide bushing and router bit, the final cutout will be smaller
than the opening in the template. The cutout in the mounting surface will be
offset to the inside of the template opening by 1/8th inch (3.2 mm) on all sides.
• Note both the position and orientation of the template relative to the table top or
other mounting surface.
• Note that very little clearance exists between the Hydraport assembly and the
hole cutout in the mounting surface. Take care to align the cutout carefully with
the edges or other appropriate features in the table or mounting surface. If the
cutout is misaligned, the installed unit will be misaligned.
CAUTION: Ensure the template is held securely on the mounting surface.
If the template moves during the cutting process, the cutout will be
enlarged and will likely exceed the trim bezel of the Hydraport base
assembly, requiring extensive repair to the mounting surface.
4. Install the router guide bushing into the base of a suitable router.
• The router should be equipped with a ½ inch (12.2mm) collet and a baseplate
capable of accepting a standard 1 3/16 inch (30.2mm) guide bushing.
• Install the router bit into the router with an appropriate portion of the bit exposed
below the guide bushing.
5. Switch the router on and carefully lower (plunge) the router bit into the mounting
surface within the template opening.
6. Move the router against the template opening such that the guide bushing
follows along the template opening.
7. Carefully follow the template opening with the guide bushing in a clockwise
fashion such that the cutting action of the router bit is acting against the motion
of the router.
8. Make several passes with the router, guide bushing and router bit.
9. Lower the router bit in small increments to remove a suitable amount of material
on each pass.
CAUTION: Trying to cut too deep in any one pass may result in damage
to the mounting surface.
• Take care to ensure that the top surface of the mounting surface is not damaged
beyond the width of the trim bezel as the cutout is made.
• Make sure the bit or cutting tool used is appropriate for the material to be cut
and will not tear or chip the top surface.
• AMX does NOT recommend using a Jigsaw to make the final cutout.
• Note that the process of making the cutout will create substantial dust and
prepare the environment appropriately.
10. Finally, remove template by pulling firmly on the rounded edges of the
double-sided tape mounting strips until they release from the tabletop and
template.
3) Prepare the Terminations
Some modules that are included in the final system require some type of backside
termination. Refer to the installation guide for each module to determine the required
backside termination.
Note: The backside termination for each module can and should be completed before
the module is installed into HPX Base assembly.
Note that for terminations for which the far end of the cable is not accessible either
because the cable has been run under carpet, in a conduit or structure, or is otherwise
fixed, the cable must be placed:
1. Through the retaining ring, (note the orientation of the retaining ring - see
FIG. 5 on page 2),
2. Then through the mounting surface from bottom to top,
3. Then to the module before the module is placed into the base assembly, as
shown in FIG. 4:
Note the direction of the screw bosses, as indicated in FIG. 5:
• For mounting surfaces less than 35mm thick, orient the screw bosses away form
the main assembly (down).
• For mounting surfaces greater than 35mm thick orient the screw bosses toward
the main assembly (up).
4) Insert the Modules
ATTENTION: See Step 4.5 for the installation of High Voltage Isolators
(HPX-PA-HVI) These Isolators must be installed properly to maintain product
safety certifications.
Note: All Low-Voltage, Secondary-Circuit (LVSC) Modules must be installed above
the AC Power Outlets and Circuit Breaker Modules in the HPX-1600 Base Assembly.
The LVSC Modules will therefor be installed first.
1. Latch the system in the closed (down) position.
2. Place the HPX-1600 Base assembly upside down on a suitable surface to
ensure the top cover is not scratched.
3. Remove the 4 Mounting Screws that secure the Bottom Cover to the
aluminum frame, and remove the bottom cover. (FIG. 6).

4. Slide the pre-terminate modules one at a time into the Base assembly.
Note the orientation of each module: a small tab exists on the bottom side
(shown facing up in FIG. 7) of the faceplate of each module.
Ensure this tab is facing the bottom side of the system (see FIG. 8).
5. Route the cables from each module out the bottom (currently facing up) of the
base assembly.
• If both low-voltage, secondary circuit (LVSC) modules and AC Power Outlets will
be installed, place the (LVSC) modules in the upper portion of the chassis first,
followed by the AC Power Outlets in the lower portion of the chassis.
• The LVSC Modules and the AC Power Outlets must be separated by the High
Voltage Isolators provided in this kit.
• See the Instructions provided with the High Voltage Isolators for detailed
installation instructions.
6. For AC power modules, plug the provided wire harness into the Power Inlet
assembly inside the bottom cover (FIG. 8).
7. The included circuit breaker modules should also be connected to the Power
Inlet assembly at this time.
Note: International units (FG550-BL, FG550-SL) include 2 circuit breakers for line and
neutral. Both circuit breakers are required for operation. Take care while routing the
wires to the circuit breaker positioned on the opposite side of the chassis from the 2
circuit breaker connectors on the Power Inlet assembly (see FIG. 8).
Refer to the Installation Guides provided with each Module for detailed installation
instructions.
5) Install the Lift Spring Assemblies
ATTENTION: If modules have been installed in more than 50% of the available
space, the performance of the HPX-1600 retract mechanism may benefit from
the installation of the optional accessory HPX-AC-HSP (FG559-42). See the
installation guide for HPX-AC-HSP for further details.
After the bottom cover is fully secure and the exiting cables are secured:
1. Clip both lift spring assemblies onto the mounting sleeve.
2. Ensure the lift spring assembly is oriented properly (FIG. 9).
3. Unlatch the sliding frame and mounting sleeve so the sleeve is free to slide
relative to the frame.
4. Slide the mounting sleeve so that it is nearest to the bottom cover.
5. Take hold of the body of one lift spring assembly and pull it firmly up so that it
can be snapped into the provided slot in the bottom cover (FIG. 10).
6. Repeat for the second lift spring assembly
7. Slide the mounting sleeve towards the top of the unit until the unit latches in the
closed position.
