Product Specifications 

Installation

Attention! 

Only a professional, AMX-qualified installer should 

perform this installation. Installation must conform to all local codes. 
This product may not be installed by the end-user.

Tools Required

Wire cutting pliers

Wire strippers

Small flat blade screw driver

Phillips Screw Driver (to access Hydraport Base Assembly)

CAUTION! 

Ensure that the AC Power cord is disconnected from IEC 

C-14 power inlet connector on the Hydraport Base Assembly prior to 
disassembly of the Hydraport Base assembly or installation of the 
HPX-U100-BTN Module (see FIG. 2). 

Step 1 - Backside Termination

Before installing the module into the Hydraport Base Assembly, the backside 
terminations of the module must be completed. This backside termination requires 
connecting 4 insulated wires, or equivalent, to the 4 position phoenix terminal block 
located on the back of the module.
Note that for terminations for which the far end of the cable is not accessible either 
because the cable has been run under carpet, in a conduit or structure, or is otherwise 
fixed, the cable must be placed through the retaining ring (note the orientation of the 
retaining ring) then through the mounting surface from bottom to top, then to the 
module - 

before the module is placed into the base assembly

 (FIG. 3). 

Step 2 - Provide a Service Loop

Ensure there is sufficient cable length to provide a service loop for the cable after the 
module is installed into the Hydraport Base Assembly (FIG. 4).

Note that the Hydraport Base Assembly travels up and down approximately 228.6 mm 
(9”) during operation. 
The service loop must accommodate this motion and provide for securing the cable to 
the Hydraport Base Assembly for strain relief. 
For more detailed information, please refer to the HPX-1600-XX Hydraport Base 
Assembly Instruction Manual.
