HPX-AV102-RGB+A-R RGB-Audio Module with Retractable Cable
Overview
Hydraport Retractable Cable Modules are designed to be used in
conjunction with the HPX-600/900/1200 Connection Port base assembly, to
provide the convenience of various types of cables in a Hydraport System.
The HPX-AV102-RGB+A-R RGB-Audio Module with Retractable Cable
(FG552-31) provides a user-accessible RGB/Audio cable in a retractable
spool that mounts into the Hydraport base assembly (FIG. 1).
Installation
Warning! - Do not attempt to open the retractable cable module enclosure.
There are no serviceable parts inside the module.
Opening the module enclosure may result in an uncontrolled release of spring
forces which could cause serious injury and/or equipment damage.
Opening the module enclosure will void the product warranty.
Caution: Only use a hand-held screw driver for the mounting instructions in this
document. Over-tightening the screws can hinder performance or damage the
product.
1. For Existing HPX Installations, First Unmount the HPX Base
For new HPX installations, skip to Step 2.
For existing HPX installations, the HPX Base Assembly must be un-mounted
from the surface before the Retractable Cable Modules can be installed:
1. Cut/remove any cable ties that would restrict the removal of the HPX Base
Assembly.
2. Loosen the four mounting screws (located inside and at each end of the
HPX base assembly), in order to rotate the retaining tabs from under the
mounting surface.
Note that when the cover of the HPX base is open, only two of these
screws are visible. To access the other two mounting screws, tip the cover
over to the opposite open position (see FIG. 2).
3. Once the retaining tabs have been rotated out from under the mounting
surface, the HPX assembly can be be lifted away from the mounting
surface.
FIG. 3 provides a cutaway view of the End Cap, showing the retaining tabs
in both the loose position and the tightened (secure) position:
2. Remove the End Cap and Existing Modules
Remove the End Cap as well as existing modules (as necessary, depending on
how you want the modules arranged) from one end of the HPX base assembly.
1. Remove the (silver) pivot screw and pivot pawl assembly in the center of
the End Cap (FIG. 4).
2. Remove the six (black) sheet metal screws that secure the End Cap to the
HPX assembly (locations circled in red below).
3. Gently slide the End Cap out of the HPX base assembly.

3. Insert the Retractable Cable Module into the HPX Base
1. Orient the module relative to the HPX base assembly so that the Module’s
faceplate is facing up, towards the mounting surface (FIG. 5).
2. Align the Mounting Notches on the module with the Mounting Rails on the
HPX base.
Note: Module faceplates are notched in a “tongue and groove" type fashion to
ensure that all modules are oriented correctly in the HPX. Note the orientation of
the notched faceplate on each module before sliding the module(s) into the HPX
assembly.
3. Slide the module into position.
4. Install any remaining modules into the HPX base.
4. Re-Install the End-Cap
Caution: Do not use a high-powered torque screw driver. Over-tightening these
screws can damage the product.
1. Align the Mounting Notches on the End Cap with the Mounting Rails on the
HPX base.
2. Slide the End Cap into the HPX base until it is fully inserted against the end
of the base assembly.
3. Secure the End Cap with the six (black) sheet metal screws (removed in
Step 2 - 2; see FIG. 4).
4. Replace the (silver) pivot screw and pivot pawl assembly (removed in Step
2 - 1, see FIG. 4) in the center of the End Cap.
5. Mount the HPX into the Mounting Surface
Caution: Do not use a high-powered torque screw driver. Over-tightening these
screws can damage the product.
Note: For detailed instructions on installing the HPX base assembly, refer to the
HPX-600/900/1200 Installation Guide (available online at www.amx.com).
1. Carefully insert the HPX base into the cutout in the mounting surface.
2. Tighten the four mounting screws (loosened in Step 1, see FIG. 3) located
inside and at each end of the HPX base assembly, to rotate the retaining
tabs into locking position under the mounting surface.
6. Terminate Fixed Cables
1. Terminate fixed cables as necessary.
Note: Use of an extension cable on either end of this cable should be
avoided to ensure optimal performance.
2. Replace any cable ties that were removed in Step 1.
Retractable (Source) RGB + Audio Connector: 3.5mm Ports
Note that the retractable cable (which connects to the Source device) features
two 3.5mm ports, one on either side of the RGB connector (FIG. 6):
• The port with the Speaker icon is the active audio port - use this port to
connect to the source device’s audio output (via the Stereo Audio Patch
Cable).
• The port with the Plug icon is inactive. It is intended to be used as a
storage port - use this port to store the Stereo Audio Patch Cable when not
in use.
