Installation
Step 1: Get Ready
Use the following checklist to prepare for the installation:
Download and install the latest version of software, rmware, and device drivers needed to congure the host device and
congure the connected ACP products (see the host device user guide, available on www.extron.com, for details on
software and drivers).
Obtain cables, mounting hardware, and any other supplies required for ACP 100 installation.
Step 2: Prepare the Installation Site
ATTENTION:
• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués par le personnel autorisé uniquement.
• Extron recommends installing the ACP 100 into a grounded, UL Listed electrical junction box.
• Extron recommande d’installer le ACP 100 dans un boîtier d’encastrement électrique mis à la terre, listé UL.
• If the ACP 100 will be installed into fine furniture, it is best to hire a licensed, bonded craftsperson to cut the access hole
and perform the physical installation so the surface will not be damaged.
• S’il est prévu d’installer le ACP 100 dans du beau mobilier, il est préférable de faire appel à un artisan autorisé et qualifié
pour couper le trou d’accès et réaliser l’installation de telle façon que la surface ne soit pas endommagée.
• Follow all national and local building and electrical codes that apply to the installation site.
• Respectez tous les codes électriques et du bâtiment, nationaux et locaux, qui s’appliquent au site de l’installation.
NOTE: For the installation to meet UL requirements and to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC), the ACP 100 must
be installed in a UL Listed junction box. The end user or installer must furnish the junction box. It is not included with the
ACP100.
Americans with Disabilities ACT (ADA) Compliance
When planning where to install these devices, consider factors affecting accessibility of the button panel such as height
from the oor, distance from obstructions, and how far a user must reach to press the buttons. For guidelines, see sections
307 (“Protruding Objects”) and 308 (“Reach Ranges”) of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design available at
http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2010ADAStandards/2010ADAStandards.pdf.
Site Preparation
Extron offers an assortment of mud rings, optional ULListed in-wall junction boxes, external
wall boxes (EWBs), and surface or tabletop mounting boxes for use with the ACP button
panels. The ACP 100 is a US 2-gang size device.
Step 3: Replace Plastic Faceplate, Button Labels, or
Knob
The plastic faceplate button labels can be replaced. Some
button labels ship with the unit. Customized labels can be
created and printed using Extron Button Label Generator
software from www.extron.com.
To change a plastic faceplate or translucent button label:
1. The plastic faceplate is secured with four magnetic
catches on the underside of the plastic faceplate.
Remove the plastic faceplate by holding the body of
the unit with one hand, gripping the sides of the plastic
faceplate with the other hand, then pulling the plastic
faceplate away from the unit.

ACP Ports
• Connect up to eight (8) ACP endpoint devices per DMP Plus.
• Wire the connectors the same at both ends.
• These ports are identical. You can connect devices
interchangeablly to either port.
• Do not exceed a total of 1000 feet (305meters) of cable for
connections between the DMP Plus and all of the ACP
panels.
• Power is provided by the IPCP Pro, a PS 1220EB power
inserter, or an Extron 12 VDC power supply.
Bus ID Address DIP Switches
• Use these DIP switches to set the six-bit, binary
bus address for the ACP 100.
• Each ACP connected to the same DMP Plus
must have a unique address.
• Switch 1 (on the left) is the highest value (32, the
the most signicant bit [labeled “MSB”]).
• Switch 6 (on the right) is the lowest (1, the least
signicant bit [labeled “LSB”]).
• Up = on = 1, Down = off = 0
Examples:
Figure 3. ACP 100 Rear Panel Bus ID
figure 3
Set the bus identication (ID) DIP switches for the ACP 100 and any other
ACP panels being connected to the system. Each ACP device must have
a unique bus ID. If multiple ACP panels have the same bus ID, address
conicts may cause one or more of the panels to not be recognized in
DSP Congurator or by the host device. Up to eight ACP devices can be
connected in the same system.
Each ACP device in a system must have a unique six-digit binary bus ID.
ACP bus IDs are set by using the DIP switch assembly on the rear panel of
the ACP 100.
Switch 1 on the left sets the most signicant bit (highest number, 32) while
switch 6 on the right sets the least signicant bit (the lowest number, 1).
See the example addresses in the table to the right.

Step 5: Cable All Devices
1. Connect the ACP panel to the host device.
2. Connect ACP panels to each other if multiple panels are being used in the control system (see gure 4 below for correct
wiring).
NOTES:
• Wire both ends of each ACP cable the same. Connectors are interchangeable between the host device and ACP
device.
• Do NOT power an ACP panel from more than one power source.
3. Apply power to the host device after correctly cabling all devices.
Cabling
Attach cables using the diagram below as a guide. Wiring is the same for all ACP models. Connect a 4-pole captive screw
connector to each end of the cable, wiring both ends the same. In most cases, the ACP devices are powered by the DMPPlus
series device. Power is carried on the V+ pin of the ACP 100 and other ACP devices.
Extron STP20-2/1000 or STP20-2P/100 cable is recommended for ACP device connections.

Step 6: Configure the System
NOTE: For complete information on creating conguration les and operating DSP Congurator, see the host device user
guide and the DSP Configurator Help le.
1. Create a new host device conguration le in DSP Congurator and create all groups, presets, and macros to be controlled
by the ACP device.
2. Select Tools>Configure ACPs in DSP Congurator and congure the ACP button actions and panel IDs.
3. Connect to the host device in Live mode with a TCP/IP connection and push the conguration le to the device.
Step 7: Test and Troubleshoot
1. Verify the ACP bus ID DIP switches are set to the desired address on each unit and that there are no bus ID address conicts
in the system.
The ACP 100 may have a single monochrome LED (green) or three separate LEDs (green, amber, or red). The LED (or LEDs)
are a diagnostic tool showing the device status:
Device Status Single LED (green) Three LEDs
No power, ACP cable broken. Off Off
Device is receiving power and communicating correctly
with the DMP Plus.
Lights solidly Green
Device is receiving power but cannot communicate with
the DMP Plus
Slow blink Amber
Device is receiving power and communicating with the
DMP Plus but there is an address conflict.
Fast blink Red
2. Verify cables to and from the ACP devices are wired the same at each end.
3. Test the system:
a. Press the ACP device buttons and ensure the buttons light as expected and that the appropriate control actions are
triggered. Commands can be veried using DSP Congurator. DataViewer can also be used for command verication if
responses are congured.
b. Ensure the audio levels respond correctly to the volume and mute buttons.
4. Make adjustments to wiring, bus ID addresses, and system conguration as needed. Remember that the rear panel ports
and DIP switches are not accessible after the ACP is mounted. If needed, push a revised conguration to the ACP device
through the host device using DSP Congurator.
If you have questions during installation and setup, call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline or the Extron S3
Control Systems Support Hotline [phone]).

Step 8: Mounting the ACP 100
Prior to mounting:
1. Feed all device cables through the wall or furniture and, if applicable, through the plastic spacer.
NOTE: If the unit is not installed in a mud ring, the plastic spacer must be installed. The spacer positions the unit to allow
the magnetic catches on the plastic faceplate to attach properly and securely.
2. Ensure the cables are connected to the ACP 100 rear panel.
Mount the ACP 100 as follows:
1. Insert the cabled ACP 100 into the mud ring or junction box within the wall or furniture, aligning the mounting holes in the
ACP 100 with those in the box or mud ring.
2. Secure the ACP 100 in the junction box, wall or surface mounting box, or mud ring as follows (see 1in the gures below).
a. Insert the included screws through the oval slots at the top and bottom of the ACP 100 metal mounting plate, through
the plastic spacer (if not using a mud ring), and into the corresponding threaded holes in the box or mud ring.
b. Using a Phillips screwdriver, gently tighten the screws until snug.
3. Attach the plastic faceplate to the ACP 100. Align the plastic faceplate openings with the buttons, knob, and LEDs and place
the plastic faceplate against the metal mounting plate (see 2in the gures below). The magnetic catches fasten the plastic
faceplate onto the metal mounting plate.
