TLP 700MV Rear Panel Features and Connections 11 12 13 Figure 4. TLP 700MV Rear Panel Features k Power Connector — Connect the two pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector from the provided power supply to the power supply socket on the rear panel. Ensure the connections have the correct polarity as shown below: POWER 12V 0.4A MAX Power Receptacle Smooth POWER 12V 0.4A MAX Ridges A A SECTION A–A DC Power Cord Captive Screw Connector Power Supply Output Cord 3/16" (5 mm) Max.
NOTES: The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws. Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time.

Mounting This section outlines the various options for: zz Rack Mounting the TLP 700MV zz Wall Mounting the TLP 700MV zz Wall Mounting the TLP 700MV with a Wallbox zz Desktop Mounting the TLP 700TV zz Removing the TLP 700TV base for VESA Mounting zz VESA mounting the TLP 700TV Rack Mounting the TLP 700MV Underwriters Laboratories Guidelines for Rack Mounting The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of these products in a rack: Elevated operati
Wall Mounting the TLP 700MV The TLP 700MV can be mounted in the wall or through furniture. Extron recommends using the Extron TR 700M trim ring to conceal any ragged edges when the hole is cut in the wall or furniture. To mount the TLP 700MV directly into a wall, follow these steps. The steps are similar if the unit is mounted in furniture (such as a podium or table). 1. Determine the best location for the TLP 700MV. 2. Use the template provided to mark the wall or furniture and cut a hole. 3.
Trim Ring Screws (4) Bezel snaps to unit (4 plcs ea side). Tighten screws to rotate locking arms. Figure 31. Secure the TLP 700MV to a Wall With Locking Arms 11. If required, perform the initial calibration (see page 11). 12. Replace the bezel by pressing the catches on the bezel into the corresponding holes on the front of the panel.
Desktop Mounting the TLP 700TV The TLP 700TV comes assembled with a stand that allows it to be placed on a desktop. If required, the stand can be removed and replaced with the Extron VM 700T kit (part number 70‑692‑01). This kit fits into any third-party VESA Type D 75 mm wall mount system. To mount the TLP 700TV on a desktop, place the unit in a suitable position and, if required, use two screws through the two holes in the base to secure the unit to the desktop.
To prepare the TLP 700TV for wall mounting, using either kit, follow these instructions: 1. Remove the TLP 700TV from its packaging or, if the TLP 700TV has previously been used as a free-standing, desktop unit, remove all cables to the back of the base. 2. At the bottom, the two plastic cover plates for the stand are held together by a Phillips head screw near the base. Remove the screw in the recessed slot at the front of the stand, close to the base. 2 Figure 39. Remove Screw. 3.
4. Remove the back cover to reveal the metal stand and the cables connecting the circuit board in the base to the touchpanel screen. 4 Figure 41. Remove Back Cover. 5. Cut the plastic tie holding the cables to the metal stand. 6. Disconnect the power, LAN, audio, LED, and two BNC cables from the circuit board in the base. 7. Remove the snake-skin cover protecting the cables. 7 5 6 Figure 42. Steps 5, 6, and 7 8.
9. Thread the cables through the gap between the top bracket and the stand. Place the screen, face down, on a soft cloth. 9 Figure 44. Thread Cables into Place. 10. Remove and save the three Phillips head screws holding the plastic molding to the back of the screen. 10 Figure 45. Remove Molding.
11. Disconnect the audio, LED, and power cables from the back panel of the screen. zz The audio cables are the black and white pair, wound around a ferrite core. zz The power cables are the red and black pair, terminated with a blue, 2-pole captive screw connector. zz The LED cables are the black and white pair, without a ferrite core. 11 Figure 46. Disconnect Cables. NOTES: None of the cables that are connected with a plastic tie should be disconnected.
Reset Modes The TLP 700MV and TLP 700TV have four reset modes that correspond to four of the five reset modes for the IP Link controllers. The modes are initiated by pressing the Reset button. To access the Reset button on the TLP 700MV, remove the bezel. See page 5 to locate the Reset button on the TLP 700MV. The Reset button on the TLP 700TV is recessed behind the bezel, which cannot be removed. It is necessary to use a pen or paper clip to press it. See page 8 to locate the Reset button on the TLP 700TV.
Button Labels This section provides information about: zz Button Label Software zz Replacing Button Labels Button Label Software Installing or Replacing Button Labels Printed labels are included with the TLP 700MV and TLP 700TV. In addition, users can write on blank labels, purchase additional sheets of printed button labels from Extron (see page 37) or print their own customized button labels with the Button Label Generator program. Replacement button caps are also available for purchase.
Using the Button-Label Generator software 1. To run the Button-Label Generator program, click on the desktop icon. Alternatively, click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics > Button Label Generator > Button Label Generator. The Button-Label Generator window appears: Figure 47.Button Label Generator Software 2.
