Flexible Conduit Adapter Kit Installation
WARNING: The circuit breaker used for this connection should be rated no lower than 20 amps
and no greater than 30 amps.
This unit must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and with
all local codes.
An ALL-POLE MAINS SWITCH with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in
each pole shall be incorporated in the electrical installation of the building. The
installation shall be carried out in accordance with all applicable installation rules.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified electrician only.
CAUTION: A UL listed electrical distribution box is recommended for the termination of the
conduit opposite the XPA (see the “UL requirements” section below).
The optional Flexible Conduit Adapter Kit (part number 70-228-02) consists of:
One EMT adapter plate
One 6-foot long electrical conduit
Three 7.5 feet, 18-gauge spade connector power wires
One UL rated zip tie wrap
Three auxiliary crimp style spade connectors designed for 14- to 16-gauge wires
NOTE: If needed, Extron recommends using a UL-rated crimp tool to terminate the
spade connectors. One recommended choice is the Molex crimp tool (Molex
part number 19285-0008).
The kit provides a convenient means to replace the IEC power cord with conduit, where
required by local codes.
CAUTION: Make sure that the source device and the XPA are turned off and
disconnected from the power source before you begin.
UL requirements
The Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements listed below pertain to the installation of
the flexible conduit onto a XPA 1002 or XPA 2001.
This unit is not to be used beyond its rated voltage range.
This unit must be wired to a UL listed distribution box.
NOTE: The UL approved electrical distribution box is not included with either the XPA
or the Flexible Conduit Adapter kit; the installer is responsible for obtaining
and installing the box.
