Step 2: Prepare the Installation Site
ATTENTION:
• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués uniquement par un technicien qualifié.
• Extron recommends installing the MLC Plus into a grounded, UL Listed electrical junction box.
• Extron recommande d’installer le MLC Plus dans une boîte de dérivation électrique mis à la terre, certifiée UL.
• If the controller 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 contrôleur 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.
• For the installation to meet UL requirements and to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC), the MLC 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 MLC
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 MLCPlus 50/100/200, you may need to consider factors affecting accessibility of the
controller such as height from the floor, distance from obstructions, and how far a user must reach to press the buttons. 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.

Mud rings, optional ULListed junction boxes, external
junction boxes, and surface mounting boxes are
available for use with the MLCPlus. Read any installation
instructions and UL guidelines that come with the mounting
devices, protect the mounting surface to prevent damage,
then install the box or mud ring in the opening at the
installation site.
When you run cables to the mounting location, leave
enough slack for device installation. Secure the cables with
a clamp for strain relief so they do not slip back down into
the wall or furniture.
Step 3: Change a Faceplate
or Button Labels (optional)
Faceplates can easily be changed, if desired, and you can replace one or more of the labels within the buttons. Some button
labels ship with the unit. You can create and print your own customized labels using Extron Button Label Generator software.
Replacing a faceplate
To replace a faceplate:
1. Remove the faceplate by holding the body of the unit with one hand, gripping the sides of the faceplate with the other hand,
and pulling the faceplate away from the unit.
