Crestron MMK-2000L & WMKM-2000L Mud Mount Kits
Mud Mount Kits: MMK-2000L &
WMKM-2000L
Description
Mud Mount Kits are the preferred mounting option for the Crestron Isys
TPS-2000L, compact video touchpanel when cutouts made for the touchpanel are too
large. These kits fill in the gaps with additional plastering and provide the support to
hide large irregularities in the touchpanel cutout.
There are two Mud Mount Kits. The MMK-2000L is a pre-construction accessory.
Pre-construction refers to framed walls prior to hanging drywall. This accessory is
designed be used with the Pre-Construction Mount Kit (PMK-2000L) or Back Box
Kit (BB-2000L).
The WMKM-2000L is a post-construction kit. Post-construction refers to framed
walls with drywall hung. This accessory is designed with a mounting plate so that it
can be placed anywhere on a wall without the support from a stud.
NOTE: If necessary, consult the latest revision of the TPS-2000L Operations Guide
(Doc. 5972) for a complete list of mounting options.
Supplied Hardware
The MMK-2000L consists of three items with differing quantities. These items
produce an assembly that attaches to the PMK-2000L or BB-2000L. The
WMKM-2000L consists of the same three items that make up the MMK-2000L as
well as one mounting plate. The mounting plate is the item that provides the
necessary support for post-construction applications.
Supplied Hardware of the MMK-2000L and WMKM-2000L
• ONE (1) Metal Plate, Mounting (only on WMKM-2000L)

Installation
This section provides an installation procedure for each Mud Mount Kit. The
procedure for the MMK-2000L starts below and the “WMKM-2000L Procedure”
starts on page 4.
MMK-2000L Procedure
The procedure in this section provides the necessary steps for the assembly of the
MMK-2000L to either the PMK-2000L or BB-2000L. It is assumed that the
PMK-2000L or BB-2000L has been secured to the stud according to the procedures
in the latest revisions of their respective Installation Guides (Doc. 6018 and Doc.
5973, respectively). Also, it is assumed that drywall is in place and a rectangular
cutout for the touchpanel is made in the drywall (measuring 6 3/8inches wide
(16.159 cm) x 4 ½ inches high (11.389 cm)).
Complete the steps in the order provided. The only tools or materials required and
not supplied are a drywall saw or equivalent, four standard drywall screws, #2
Phillips screwdriver, a level, and tools/material to apply drywall joint compound.
NOTE: The illustrations in this procedure show the installation of the MMK-2000L
with the PMK-2000L. Even though the illustrations only show the PMK-2000L, they
are identical for the BB-2000L as well.
1. Pass a fastener plate through the opening and align its two center holes
with the top two pins on the PMK-2000L. Verify that the pins on the
fastener plate are not between the fastener plate and the PMK-2000L.
Refer to the illustration after this step for visual guidance.

2. Slid two push-on fasteners over the pins on the PMK-2000L to secure
the fastener plate to the PMK-2000L.
3. Use the second fastener plate and repeat steps 1 and 2 using the lower
two PMK-2000L pins.
NOTE: When installing into the PMK-2000L, verify that the 18 AWG bus wire
securing the cables for the touchpanel remain attached.
4. Verify that the rectangular cutout in the drywall measures 6 3/8inches
wide (16.159 cm) x 4 ½ inches high (11.389 cm).
5. Insert the symmetrical mud ring plate into the opening, as shown in the
illustration after this step.

6. When the mud ring plate is in position, bend the top two flanges of the
ring upward (approximately 90 degrees) and the bottom two flanges
downward (approximately 90 degrees).
7. Use four standard drywall screws (of adequate length) to secure the
mud ring plate to the rest of the assembly. The screws pass through the
clearance holes in the PMK-2000L (or BB-2000L) and are secured in
the extruded holes of the fastener plates.
8. Verify that the mud ring plate is level.

NOTE: Do not over tighten screws. Doing so may over-dimple or rip the mud ring
plate.
9. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver and tighten the drywall screws by hand
so that they slightly dimple into the holes in the mud ring plate.
10. Apply drywall joint compound as needed to finish the cutout.
11. When dry, the TPS-2000L can be installed using the four tapped holes
in the PMK-2000L. Refer to the latest revision of the TPS-2000L
Operations Guide (Doc. 5972) for details.
WMKM-2000L Procedure
The procedure in this section provides the necessary steps for the assembly and
installation of the WMKM-2000L into a wall. Complete the steps in the order
provided. The only tools or materials required and not supplied are a drywall saw or
equivalent, a level, four standard drywall screws, #2 Phillips screwdriver, and
tools/material to apply drywall joint compound.
1. Insert the two pins on one fastener plate into the top two outer holes on
the mounting plate, as shown in the illustration after this step.

2. Slid two push-on fasteners over the pins on the fastener plate to loosely
secure the fastener plate and the mounting plate. Do not push the push-
on fasteners all the way down onto the pins. Slid them on enough to
keep the fastener plate and mounting plate as one fastener/mounting
plate assembly.
3. Use the second fastener plate and repeat steps 1 and 2 on the opposite
side of the mounting plate.

4. Locate an area on the wall that is free of miscellaneous wiring and
studs.
5. Make a small hole near the middle of the designated site; verify that the
location is suitable.
NOTE: Make the cutout as level as possible. The mounting plate allows for only
minor leveling adjustments.
6. Use the drywall saw or equivalent to produce a level, rectangular cutout
in the drywall that measures 6 3/8inches wide (16.159 cm) x 4 ½ inches
high (11.389 cm).
7. Insert the symmetrical mud ring plate into the opening, as shown in the

9. When the fastener/mounting plate assembly is in position, bend the top
two flanges of the mud ring upward (approximately 90 degrees) and the
bottom two flanges downward (approximately 90 degrees). Refer to the
illustration after this step.
NOTE: Fastener/mounting plate assembly will have slight play; this is normal. It
