Crestron FlipTop FT2 Series User manual

DO GUIDE
3. Carefully tighten the four screws in each corner of the assembly clockwise until the FT2-MECH assembly is secured in place against the table. Do
not overtighten the screws.
DO Install the Modules
Positioning the Modules
Once the FT2-MECH assembly has been mounted, install modules, blank plates, and keystone plates into the assembly as required by the FlipTop™ system.
The FT2-MECH ships with four blank connector plates and eight cable management modules. (Keystone plates must be ordered separately.) For more
information on installing specic modules, refer to the documents listed in the following table at www.crestron.com/manuals.
NOTE: The FT2A-CBLR-GR and FT2A-CP modules are compatible with the FT2-MECH; however, the LEDs on the front of these modules only light if the
FT2-MECH is tted with a power bus. The FT2A-CHGR-USBA/C module and the FT2A-CBLR-1T modules are only compatible with the FT2-ELEC or an
FT2-MECH tted with a power bus.
The following points must be observed when positioning modules in the FT2-MECH assembly:
• Install FT2A-CBLR-GR modules before installing any other modules. Next, install FT2A-PWR modules, and then install the remaining modules or
plates.
• FT2A-CBLR-GR modules can only be placed at the ends of a module row.
• Dress all cables after installing each module, and secure the cables to the bottom of the FT2-MECH assembly using the attached cable
management bar.
Installing Pass-Through Modules
Use the following procedure to install the included pass-through cable modules in the FT2-ELEC assembly. Each pass-through cable module is packaged
with one grommet and one cable plate. One empty module space is required for installation.
1. Pull the grommet apart, and insert the cable inside so that the connector is above the grommet. Then, press the grommet back together to secure
the cable inside.
2. Push the grommet with the cable into the cable plate until it is secured.

FlipTop™ FT2 Series, Mechanical
DO Check for Obstructions
The Crestron®FT2-MECH is designed to install into a table or other horizontal surface. Before cutting the mounting hole, check underneath the table for
any obstructions that would impede the installation of the FT2-MECH assembly, retractors, and accessories. Refer to the dimensions in the illustrations and
bulleted notes below.
• Retractors must occupy either of the two ends of a module row and can mount only to the sides of the FT2-MECH assembly.
• FT2A-CBLR-GR retractors extend from the FT2-MECH assembly 20.86” (530 mm) vertically and 1.55” (39 mm) horizontally underneath the table.
• FT2A-CBLR-1T retractors extend from the FT2-MECH assembly 4.33” (110 mm) vertically and 8.23” (209 mm) horizontally underneath the table.
• FT2A-UTK-SHELF shelves can mount to any side of the FT2-MECH assembly and extend from the assembly 9.95” (253 mm) horizontally
underneath the table.
• FT2A-UTK-PWS power supplies can mount to any side of the FT2-MECH assembly and extend from the assembly 0.80” (20 mm) horizontally
underneath the table.
DO Mount the Assembly
Use the following procedure to mount the FT2-ELEC assembly.
1. Trace an outline of the mounting hole directly onto the table using the included cutout template. Then, have the mounting hole cut in the table with
an appropriate saw (not included).
2. Ensure that all four swiveling dogs are positioned inside of the assembly, and then insert the assembly into the mounting hole until the top lip of the
assembly is ush with the table surface. Refer to the following illustration to orient the assembly in the mounting hole.
CAUTION: Set the screwdriver torque to its lowest possible setting to avoid stripping the swiveling dogs and damaging the table. If removing the
assembly from the table, ensure that the screwdriver rotation is correctly set before untightening the screws.

3. Place the cable plate in one of the three locations shown in the illustration below so that the top
of the cable connector is ush with the top of the module.
NOTE: The cable connector must not extend beyond the top of the module.
4. Attach the side plate to the module by snapping the plastic clips on the plate into the two slots
on the module.
NOTE: Ensure that the cable is properly installed in the module prior to attaching the side
plate, as the plate is difcult to remove once it is attached. If the side plate needs to be
removed, use a small, at object (such as a at-head screwdriver) to carefully pry the plastic
clips on the side plate off of the module near the two slots. Refer to the following illustration.
5. Feed the other end of the cable through an empty module space in the FT2-MECH assembly.
6. Push the top of the module down into the empty module space in the FT2-MECH assembly so
that the module slides into place. Use the guide ribs on the front and rear of each module to
help position the module in the assembly.
Installing Blank and Keystone Plates
Blank plates ll empty spaces in a module row, while keystone plates allow for cables terminated with
standard keystone jacks to be installed in the FlipTop system. Both plates require one empty space in a
module row for installation.
To install the blank or keystone plates, push the plates down into the appropriate module spaces in the
FT2-MECH assembly so that the plate slides into place. Use the guide ribs on the front and rear of each
plate to help position the plate in the assembly. For keystone plates, snap the cable’s keystone jack into
the keystone opening in the plate, and then feed the cable down through the empty module space before
installing the plate.
DO Complete the Installation
1. Once the modules and blank plates are installed and level with their surroundings, place the
locking bars into position so that the screws on each side of the locking bars engage the
screw holes on the assembly. Then, hand tighten the two screws on each bar until the bars are
secured to the assembly.
CAUTION: To avoid stripping the screws on the locking bars, hand tighten the screws using a
manual screwdriver only.
NOTE: Ensure that each module space in the row is lled with a module or a blank plate
before installing the locking bars.
2. Hold the magnetic bezel over the assembly so that the lid retraction button on the bezel is
aligned with the front of the assembly. Then, lower the bezel onto the assembly so that the
retractable lid ts into the rear opening in the bezel and the magnets snap into place against
the assembly.
