Crestron FT2A-CP Series User manual

The Crestron® FT2A-CP series connector plates offer an
interface solution for use with the FT2-ELEC series FlipTop™
system. Each connector plate installs in a single module
slot within the FlipTop to provide connectivity for AV
sources and mobile devices (i.e., laptops, tablets, etc.) using
separate interface cables (not included).
NOTE: The FT2A-CP series connector plates are active
modules and therefore only compatible with the FT2-ELEC
series FlipTops. The modules are not compatible with the
FT2-MECH series FlipTops.

Each FT2A-CP module is 0.98 in. x 1.97 in.
(25mm x 50 mm) and requires one empty module slot in the
FlipTop for installation.
Install the Module
NOTE: The FT2A-CP module is only compatible with the
FT2-ELEC series FlipTops.
Install the FT2A-CP module into the FlipTop assembly. If the
bezel and locking bars have not been installed on the FT2
FlipTop assembly, skip to step 4.
1. Tap the lid retraction button to retract the one-touch
lid, which disappears into the FT2 FlipTop assembly. If
the assembly has two lids, open both.
2. Remove and retain the magnetic bezel from the FT2
FlipTop assembly by grasping the inside of the bezel
and firmly pulling it up and away from the assembly
until the magnetic hold is broken.
3. Using a manual torque screwdriver, unscrew, remove,
and retain the two locking bars on either side of
the module row where the module is to be installed.
For example, if installing the FT2-CP module in the
bottom row of a FlipTop, remove the middle and
bottom locking bars.

4. Orient the connector plate so that the module’s LED
icon is facing toward the front of the FlipTop assembly
as shown in the next column. Connect the cable to the
bottom of the module and feed it through the empty
module slot.

appropriate module slot in the FlipTop assembly. Use
the guide ribs on the front and rear of each module to
help position the module in the assembly.

6. Under the table, dress the cable connecting the module
as necessary and route it to its destination.
NOTE: Crestron recommends using a wire tie to relieve
strain on the cable connected to the bottom of each module.
7. Confirm that all modules are level with their
surroundings and place the locking bars into position
so that the screws on either side engage the screw
holes in the assembly.
8. Using a manual torque screwdriver set to its lowest
possible setting, hand tighten the locking bar screws
until the locking bars are secured to the FT2 FlipTop
assembly.
9. Place the bezel onto the FT2 FlipTop assembly so that
the retractable lid fits inside the bezel opening. The
bezel is held in place using magnets.
