Mount the FlipTop Assembly
A mounting hole is required for an FT2-700-ELEC installation. Use the
included template to cut a new mounting hole for new installations. The
FT2-700-ELEC may also replace an FT-600 FlipTop and use the existing
mounting. When determining the location for the FT2-700 assembly,
consider where users will be seated and their proximity to the FT2-700
assembly's modules and retractors. Refer to the FT2A-CBLR-1T and
FT2A-CBLR-GR series cable retractors for above-the-table cable pull-out
lengths.
For a new mounting, follow sections Cut the Mounting Hole and Secure
the FlipTop Assembly. To use the mounting hole of an existing FT-600
FlipTop assembly, follow sections Replace the FT-600 FlipTop Assembly
and Secure the FlipTop Assembly.
Cut the Mounting Hole
A saw, tracing utensil, and the included cutout template are required to
