Installation
Step 1: 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 encoder into a grounded, UL Listed electrical junction box.
• Extron recommande d’installer le encoder dans une boîte de dérivation électrique mis à la terre, certifiée UL.
• If the encoder will be installed into fine furniture, it is best to hire a licenced, 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 encoder 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.

3
ATTENTION:
• For the installation to meet UL requirements and to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC), the encoder 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 unit.
• Pour que l’installation respecte les exigences UL et soit conforme au National Electrical Code (NEC) américain, le
encoder doit être installé dans une boîte de dérivation certifiée UL. Il incombe à l’utilisateur final ou à l’installateur de
fournir la boîte de dérivation. Cet équipement n’est pas inclus avec l’unité.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance
When planning where to install the encoder, you may need to consider factors affecting accessibility of the encoder such as
height from the oor, distance from obstructions, and how far a user must reach to access the connectors. 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

Wall
Figure 3. Installing a Mud Ring
The encoder ts into a standard US three-gang junction box or mud ring and
decorator-style wallplate. The encoder ships with a mud ring. Optional
ULListed junction boxes, external junction boxes, and surface
mounting boxes are available for use with the unit. Read any
installation instructions and UL guidelines that come with
the mounting devices, then install the box or mud ring in the
opening at the installation site.
NOTE: Connect the network cable and the external power
supply, but do not apply power yet.
To prepare the site:
1. Using the size of the junction box or mud ring for
reference, cut the hole in the mounting surface. Protect
the surface prior to and during cutting so the surface is
not damaged.
2. Run cables to the mounting location, leaving enough
slack for device installation.
3. Install the junction box or mud ring into the wall or furniture.
4. Secure the cables with a clamp for strain relief and so
they do not slip back down into the wall or furniture.
Step 2: Install Rear Panel Cables (Behind the
Mounting Surface)
NOTE: The encoder is wider than a standard 3-gang device. You cannot install another wall-mounted device immediately
adjacent to this device.
1. Connect the encoder to the network switch (see item Aon page 2).
2. Optional — Connect the encoder to a remote controlled device for bidirectional RS-232 and IR communication (see
item Bon page 2).
3. Connect the encoder to an unpowered external power supply (see item Con page 2 and Power on page 5).
Step 3: Test Operation Before Final Installation
1. Power up the system. Check that, after approximately 45 seconds, the front panel LEDs indicate normally (Power LED
and Stream LEDs lit steadily green).
2. Make adjustments to wiring or configuration as needed. Remember that the rear panel ports are not accessible after the
encoder is mounted.

Operation
Power
When power is applied, the encoder runs a series of self-tests that blink the front panel power LED and all other indicators.
The encoder then boots the NAV operating system. It can take approximately 45 seconds for self-test and system startup to
complete. When the process is complete, the power LED lights steadily.
NOTE: The encoder is NOT operational until the boot process is complete (the power LED is lit steadily).
System Operation
The encoder can be congured and controlled using embedded web pages or Toolbelt software (see the
NAV 10E 401 D and NAV 10E 201 D User Guide, available at www.extron.com).
Connection via web pages
Connection to the encoder and its embedded web pages can be made via either the front panel conguration (USB) port
(using IP over USB technology) (see figure 1, Con page 1) or the rear panel NAV 10G port (see figure 2, Fon page 2).
Access the encoder using HTML pages as follows:
1. Start a web browser.
