BB 1000M • Installation Guide

Overview

The Extron BB 1000M back box is used to mount an Extron TLP 1000MV TouchLink™ panel in a wall. This Installation 
Guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to retrofit the box in existing drywall or mount the wall box in a 
new installation. For complete instructions about installing and calibrating the TouchLink panel, see the

 TLP 1000MV and 

TLP 1000TV User Guide

, which are available on the Extron web site (

www.extron.com

).

Retrofit an Existing Installation (with the Drywall in Place)

1. 

Remove the screws holding the top and bottom endplates of the wall box to the 
U-plate (sides and back). Separate and remove the endplates.

2. 

Use the back face of the U-plate to mark the position where the hole will be cut. Use a 
level to ensure the U-plate is level.

NOTE:

 

The hole is 10.22 inches (25.96 cm) wide x 7.16 inches 
(18.2 cm) high.

3. 

Using a drywall saw, carefully cut a hole where the touchpanel will be installed. Cut 

on

 

the lines that you marked in step 2.

4. 

Run the cable conduit through the wall. The conduit can be attached to any of the 
available knock-out holes in the top, bottom, or either side. Leave 
some slack to connect the conduit to the wall box and the cables 
to the touchpanel.

5. 

Run cables to the installation site.

6. 

Clear the cables and conduits from the space behind the hole.

7. 

Insert the U-plate into the hole (see figure 1).

NOTE:

 

The tabs of the wall box sit on the outer face of the 
drywall.

8. 

Pull back the cables that were cleared out of the way in step 5.

9. 

Secure one or more conduits to the knock-out holes (see figure 2).

10. 

Slide the endplates into the gap between 
the back of the U-plate and the top flanges 
on the side of the U-plate (see the inset 
in figure 2). The endplate must pass the 
drywall so that the trailing edge can be 
pushed in behind it.

11. 

Finish installing the TouchLink panel 
as shown in figure 3 and described in 
“Mounting the Touchpanel” on the next 
page.
