VCM 200 EU and VCM 200 MK • Installation Guide
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer
to install an Extron VCM 200 EU or a VCM 200 MK device.
The VCM 200 EU and VCM 200 MK are remote volume/mute
controllers with a 10k ohm potentiometer and mute button.
They are designed to work solely with any Extron amplifier
product with a remote volume control port, such as the
MPA 122 or MPA 401 Mini Power Amplifiers.
The VCM 200 EU devices mount into a single sized European junction box with 60 mm
centers (not supplied). The VCM 200 MK mounts into a 35 mm deep, single MK junction
box. Both models have a matching trim plate for the finished installation.
For product specifications visit www.extron.com.
NOTE: Check that the installation meets the local and national regulatory
requirements, including building, electrical, and safety codes, and UL and
accessibility requirements.
Installation
VCM 200 EU Model —
1. Install a junction box into a Euro channel
or into a wall.
2. Run the cables from the location of the
audio source, such as an MPA.
3. Where needed, in order to make the
device flush with the channel or wall,
place the supplied metal spacer plate
between the adapter plate and the
junction box.
4. Using the supplied screws fasten the metal
adapter plate (and spacer plate if used) to
the junction box (see the image at right).
VCM 200 MK Model —
1. Following the manufacturer’s
instructions, either install a wall box
into wall or secure one to the wall.
2. Run the cables from the audio source
location, such as an MPA.
3. Using the supplied screws fasten the
adapter plate to the junction box (see
the image at right).
Both devices (VCM 200 EU and VCM 200 MK)
are now ready for cabling.
