Step 1 — Obtain Cut-out Dimensions
ATTENTION:
• The opening in the table for the Cable Cubby should be cut only by licensed and bonded craftspeople. Exercise care
to prevent scarring or damaging the furniture.
• L’ouverture dans la table pour le CableCubby devrait être coupée seulement par des artisans autorisés et qualiés.
Faites attention à ne pas faire de marques sur le meuble et à ne pas l’endommager.
• Use the appropriate metal Extron routing template or refer to the surface cutout dimensions before cutting a hole in
the furniture or other surface. Pay special attention to the direction the unit will face. The connector access side is
underlined. Extron is not responsible for miscut mounting holes.
• Utilisez le gabarit de détourage métallique approprié ou reportez-vous aux dimensions de découpe de la surface
indiquées ci-après avant de découper le meuble ou la surface. Faites particulièrement attention à la directions dans
laquelle l’unité sera dirigée. Le côté pour accéder au connecteurs est souligné. Extron ne sera pas responsable des
erreurs de coupe.
• Ensure the table surface is at least 0.375 inches (0.95 cm) thick.
• Assurez vous que la surface de la table est au moins 0,95 cm (0,375") d’épaisseur.
If using a hand router, you should purchase the Extron TLP Pro 720C routing template.
If using a CNC wood router, use the exact cut-out dimensions (see Using a CNC wood cutter below).
If using a reciprocating saw or jigsaw use the paper cut-out template (available under the Downloads tab on the TLP Pro 720C
page at www.extron.com).
Step 2 — Cut the Surface
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury: Wear safety glasses when operating power equipment.
ATTENTION: Risque de blessure: Portez des lunettes de sécurité lorsque vous utilisez l’équipement électrique.
Be certain the cut is laid out in exactly the desired location and the edge that opens on the lid is correctly oriented. After verifying
and checking dimensions, cut a hole in the surface of the furniture where the enclosure will be installed (see “Preparing the Table”
in the TLP Pro 720C User Guide). There are three methods for cutting the hole in the table:
Using a hand router
Recommended method — Use the Extron TLP Pro 720C
routing template. Refer to the Routing Template User Guide,
available at www.extron.com, to prepare the template and
use the template to cut the hole.
NOTE: The metal router guide must be purchased
separately. It is reusable and should not be discarded
when the installation is complete.
Using a CNC wood cutter
Recommended method — Use the exact cut-out dimensions:
8.90 +0.00/-0.02 inches W x 7.10 +0.00/-0.02 inches D
(22.61 +0.00/-0.05 cm W x 18.03 +0.00/-0.05 cm D)
NOTE: The underlined dimension is the connector or AAP
access side for the unit.
Using a reciprocating saw or jigsaw
Acceptable method — Use the paper cut-out template (available
under the Downloads tab on the TLPPro 720C page at
www.extron.com).

TLP Pro 720C • Setup Guide (Continued)
Step 3 — Run all Cables
Run all cables necessary to support the AC connector, the cables stored in the cubby, and all planned AAP connectors. Run the
cables below the table and through the hole that was cut in Step 2. Leave enough slack in the cables to connect or route them
before the cubby is installed in the table. Leave enough space under the enclosure for the external power supply and connection
of AV cables and the network connection for the TLPPro 720C.
Step 4 — Install Cable Retractors (Optional)
If required, Extron cable retractors should be installed in the enclosure at this stage. For complete information about retractors
and how to install them, see the Retractors User Guide, which is available from the Extron website (www.extron.com).
Step 5 — Install Power Module (Optional)
ATTENTION:
•For units that are used in North America, only
use AC power modules that are UL Listed Model
“Cable Cubby AC Power Module”.
•
•The unit is not UL Listed if it uses any AC power
module other than Model “Cable Cubby AC Power
Module”.
•
NOTE: For models that do not include a power module,
see the Extron website to select a power module that is
suitable for your location.
The power module takes up two or three AAP spaces, depending on
the model, and may be installed before or after the AAP assembly is installed. It may be installed with AAPs on either side.
1. Secure the power module into position with #4-40 Phillips head screws and star washers.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock: To ensure proper electrical grounding, use the provided grounding screws and star
washers.
ATTENTION: Risque de choc électrique: An d’assurer une mise à la terre correcte, utilisez les xations de mise à la
terre et les rondelles en étoile fournies.
2. Run the cable or conduit to a convenient junction box. Extron recommends the circuit be attached to a junction box that is
directly wired to the main circuit.
Step 6 — AAP Assembly
Install all desired cables into the cable pass-through AAPs and
install the AAPs into the cable cubby.
The simplest way to install the cables and AAPs is to populate
the AAP brackets outside the cubby and then install the
populated AAP shelf assembly into the cubby.
Install cables in the pass-through holes as shown in the gure
to the right.
TIP: Hand tightening the #4-40 nuts makes it easier to
place and secure the assembly inside the enclosure.
NOTE: An extra column of AAP bracket mounting points is
available for use with TLP Single-space AAP mounting
brackets. Single-space brackets will not t in any other
location.

Step 7 — Install the AAP Assembly
1. From under the table, push the rst AAP assembly
through the bottom of the enclosure. The holes in the
rear bracket must align with the bottom row of holes on
the rear face of the enclosure.
TIP: Ensure there is enough space above the AAP

Step 8 — Mounting the Enclosure
Mount the cable cubby enclosure in the table.
CAUTION: The anged edges of the top of the surface enclosure are sharp. These edges are also soft and may be easily
nicked or bent. Exercise caution when handling the enclosure to prevent personal injury or damage to the enclosure.
ATTENTION: Les extrémités à brides du haut de la surface du boîtier sont aiguisées. Ces extrémités sont aussi lisses
et peuvent facilement être coupées ou pliées. Soyez prudents lorsque vous manipulez le boîtier an d’éviter de
l’endommager ou de vous blesser.
1. Remove the edge grommet protecting the edges of the trim ring
and the plastic lm on the nished surfaces.
ATTENTION: Do not use isopropyl alcohol or other solvents
to clean the Cable Cubby. Strong solvents will ruin some
nishes.
ATTENTION: Ne pas utiliser de l’alcool isoproprylique ou
d’autres solvants pour nettoyer le CableCubby. Les solvants
forts endommageront certaines nitions.
2. Carefully lower the enclosure into the hole cut in the table (see
Step2 — Cut the Surface on page 3). Ensure the trimring(5)
is ush with the top of the table.
3. Under the table, attach the table clamps (3) to the pins on
each side of the enclosure. It may be necessary to loosen the
wingnuts (1) and the Phillips head screws (2).
4. When the clamps are properly seated on the pins, tighten the
Phillips head screws until the clamp faces (4) are tightly secured against the bottom of the table.
5. To prevent the screws from becoming loose, secure the wingnuts against the table clamp bodies.

Connecting the TLP Pro 720C
The cable connections are located in a panel on the bottom of the TLP Pro 720C:
AA
B
B
APower connector — Connect a 12 VDC, 1.0 A power supply (not provided) to this 2-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector.
ATTENTION: The TLP Pro 720C can use a 12 VDC desktop power supply and is also Power over Ethernet (PoE
802.3af, class3) compliant. Do not connect either power supply before reading the Attention in the Power Supply
section of the TLPPro720C User Guide.
ATTENTION: Le TLP Pro 720C peut utiliser une source d’alimentation externe 12 Vcc, et est également compatible
avec l’alimentation POE via Ethernet (PoE 802.3af, classe 3). Ne branchez pas de sources d’alimentation externes
avant d’avoir lu les mises en garde dans la section «PowerSupply» du TLPPro720C User Guide.
NOTES:
• The TLP Pro 720C ships without a power supply. Either the 12 VDC power supply or the PoE injector must be
purchased separately.
• If a 12 VDC and a PoE power supply are both connected to the TLP Pro 720C, the PoE injector takes precedence.
If a PoE power loss is detected, the touchpanel switches seamlessly to the 12 VDC supply without needing a
system reboot.
BNetwork and Power over Ethernet (PoE) Connector — Connect the touchpanel to the LAN using a twisted pair cable,
terminated with an RJ-45 connector. The connector can also be used with a PoE power injector (not provided).
An Extron IP Link Pro control processor must also be connected to the same network as the TouchLink Pro touchpanel.
