QUICK START GUIDE
RGB+Stereo Module with Retractable
MyTurnTM Ready Cable
HPX-AV103-RGB+A-R
Overview
The Hydraport Retractable Cable Modules are designed to be used in conjunction with
the HPX-600/900/1200 or the HydraPort Touch (7”/10”) Connection Port base
assembly, to provide the convenience of various types of cables in a Hydraport System.
The HPX-AV103-RGB+A-R RGB+Stereo Module with Retractable MyTurn-Ready Cable
(FG552-35) provides an RGB+Stereo cable in a retractable spool that mounts into the
Hydraport base assembly (FIG. 1).
With the addition of a MyTurn™ Source Selection Button (FG554-21) participants can
send their content to the display at the press of a button without moving from their
seat. Any MyTurn-Ready cable may be equipped with the MyTurn solution See v.
Note that the retractable cable (which connects to the Source device) features two
3.5mm ports, one on either side of the RGB connector. One connects to the source
device’s audio output (via the Stereo Audio Patch Cable). The second is an inactive
storage port for the Stereo Audio Patch Cable.
Note: Always keep the Stereo Audio Patch Cable plugged into this storage port when not
in use. This is to both protect the plug, and to avoid the potential for noise on this cable.
Installation
Warning! - Do not attempt to open the retractable cable module enclosure. There are
no serviceable parts inside the module.
- Opening the module enclosure may result in an uncontrolled release of spring
forces which could cause serious injury and/or equipment damage.
- Opening the module enclosure will void the product warranty.
Warning! - installation of the Hydraport in the table should ensure the pull-out length
of the cable can reach all potential users of connectivity, as excessively pulling on a
fully extended cable can irreparably damage the retractor module.
Caution: Only use a hand-held #2 Phillips-head screwdriver for mounting this unit. Over-
tightening the screws can hinder performance or damage the unit.
For existing HPX installations, the HPX base must be removed from the mounting
surface. See “Existing Installations” on page 2. for HPX Base removal instructions.
1. Remove the (silver) pivot screw in the center of the End Cap (FIG. 2). There is an
internal tooth washer underneath it. Keep them together for re-installation.
2. Remove the four (black) sheet metal screws that secure the two-piece End Cap to
the HPX assembly (additional top two screws only on one-piece end cap models).
3. Gently slide the End Cap out of the HPX base assembly.
The HPX-AV102-RGB+A-R RCM cable cartridge has a new mounting scheme from
underneath the table to simplify installation and upgrade of retractable cable modules.
This version RCM has a detachable mounting collar that is installed into the Hydraport
base first and then the cable cartridge is reattached to the mounting collar.
Securely holding the HPX-AV102-ETH-R RCM, extract enough cable to lay the cable
cartridge on the floor while installing the mounting collar into the HPX Base Assembly
(~3ft). When extracting 5 feet (1.5m) cable from the RCM, follow these simple steps:
4. Pull up to 1.5 meters of cable straight up out of the RCM and then lay it down.
5. Watch for red tape on the cable when extracting. It is a warning to slow pull for
the final 1 foot to avoid damage to the RCM.
6. Pull the cable cartridge trigger (FIG. 4) to release the mounting collar tongue.
7. Lift the mounting collar away from the cable cartridge until the tongue is clear and
then slide to the side to clear the hook.
8. Feed the mounting collar up through the table cutout to reach the HPX base
assembly. Align the mounting notches on the mounting collar with the mounting
rails on the HPX (FIG. 5).
Note: Module mounting collars are notched in a “tongue and groove" type fashion
to ensure that all modules are oriented correctly in the HPX. Note the orientation of
the notched mounting collar on each module before sliding the module(s) into the
HPX assembly. On RCMs, ensure the retract buttons are all on the same side.
9. Slide the mounting collar into position.
10. Install any remaining module mounting collars into the HPX base.
Re-Install the End-Cap
Caution: Do not use a high-powered torque screw driver. Over-tightening these screws
can damage the product.
1. Align the Mounting Notches on the End Cap with the Mounting Rails on the HPX base.
2. Slide the End Cap into the HPX base until it is fully inserted against the end of the
base assembly. Watch out for the tension spring under the pivot pawl popping the
pivot pawl off the end cap while pressing against the lid pivot point.
3. Secure the End Cap with the 4 to 6 (black) sheet metal screws (FIG. 2).
4. Replace the (silver) pivot screw in the center of the End Cap.

Mount the HPX into the Mounting Surface
Caution: Do not use a high-powered torque screw driver. Over-tightening these screws
can damage the product.
Note: For detailed instructions on installing the HPX base assembly, refer to the HPX-
600/900/1200/1800 and HydraPort Touch (7”/10”) Installation Guides (available
online at www.amx.com).
1. Carefully insert the HPX base into the cutout in the mounting surface.
2. Tighten the four mounting screws (FIG. 6) located inside and at each end of the
HPX base assembly, to rotate the retaining tabs (FIG. 7) into locking position
under the mounting surface.
3. Feed the excess cable up through the mounting collar and insert the cable
cartridge hook into the mounting collar cutout.
4. Push the cable cartridge trigger up onto the mounting collar tongue until it
latches (opposite of FIG. 4).
5. Use the Push button to retract the cable into the cartridge.
6. Attach the display ends of the cables as necessary.
7. Use cable ties to secure cable bundles as necessary.
Existing Installations
For existing HPX installations, the HPX Base Assembly must be removed from the table
surface before the Retractable Cable Modules can be installed:
1. Cut/remove any cable ties that would restrict the removal of the HPX Base Assembly.
2. Loosen the four mounting screws located inside and at each end of the HPX base
assembly (FIG. 6), in order to rotate the retaining tabs from under the mounting
surface.
Note: When the cover of the HPX base is open, only two of these screws are visible.
To access the other two screws, tip the cover over to the opposite open position.
3. Once the retaining tabs have been rotated out from under the mounting surface,
the HPX assembly can be lifted away from the mounting surface.
FIG. 7 provides a cutaway view of the End Cap, showing the retaining tabs
highlighted in both the loose position and the tightened (secure) position.
4. Return to the installation section at the bottom left column of page 1 to continue
with installing the RCM into the HPX Base assembly.
Mounting Dimensions
FIG. 8 provides dimensions for the retractable cable module, when installed in an HPX
base assembly:
MyTurn™ Source Selector Button
The HPA-MYT-TX MyTurn™ Source Selector Button (FG554-21) clips into the specially
designed groove built into the end of a MyTurn ready cable. Users press to send the
content on their device to the display. When pressed, the button transmits a signal to a
receiver (FG554-23) that plugs directly into an AMX switching device such as a Solecis
SDX, Enova DVX, or NX Series Controller.
MyTurn Source Selector Buttons are illuminated briefly when that specific device is
selected, making it easy to determine whose content is being shown on the display at
any given time. Refer to the HPA-MYT-TX documentation for further details.
Replacing HPX-AV102-HDMI-R
Removal of the HPX Base assembly is not required to replace this RCM:
1. Detach the cable cartridge from the mounting collar using the trigger and slide
method described in FIG. 4.
2. From the top of the mounting collar, press a small flat blade screwdriver into the
notch on the split side of the pop out panel and pop it out of place.
3. Slip the cable out through the slot in the mounting collar panel.
4. Replace with new RCM in reverse order.
