Mounting the RCP 101 EU in a cable raceway
The RCP 101 EU can be mounted in a cable raceway. Extron provides a metal spacer that can be used if there is a gap between
the metal mounting bracket and the wallplate.
The spacer looks very similar to the metal mounting bracket, but has a slightly larger center opening, has holes instead of slots
for the mounting screws, and is engraved with the words “Optional Spacer” and “Place behind bracket.” Do not use the spacer
instead of the metal mounting bracket. The spacer has a larger opening and does not hold the RCP securely in the wallplate.
To mount the RCP 101 EU to a raceway using the spacer:
1.
Mount an electrical box in the raceway (figure 7,
1
). Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
2.
If required, align the screw holes of the provided spacer with the holes in the electrical box (
2
).
3.
Align the screw holes in the metal bracket with the holes in the spacer and electrical box (
3
).
NOTE:
Ensure that the front surface of the mounting bracket is facing out (away from the wall).
4.
Secure the metal bracket and spacer to the junction
box, using the two provided screws (
4
). Leave
the screw heads protruding approximately 1/8 inch
(3.18 mm) from the surface of the spacer.
5.
Rotate the metal bracket as necessary to ensure that
the RCP 101 EU is aligned correctly on the mounting
surface.
6.
Tighten the screws to secure the bracket to the spacer.
7.
Disconnect power from all devices at the source and
run cables through the raceway, junction box, spacer,
metal mounting bracket and wallplate. Connect them
to the rear panel (see
Step 2: Cable All Devices
on
page 3).
8.
Insert the RCP 101 into the wallplate (
5
) and press
the entire assembly into the metal bracket (
6
). The
RCP 101 is secured to the metal bracket by two
catches (one on each side) and holds the wallplate in
place.

Configuration
SMP Web Page
The RCP 101 can be configured from the SMP web page. Use a PC connected to the same subnet as the SMP.
1.
Open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the SMP (see the User Guide for your SMP model).
You may need to log on as
admin
.
The SMP web page opens.
2.
To confirm that the RCP 101 is connected to the SMP, click
Configuration
(
figure 10
,
