Installing the HPX-1600 Installing the HPX-1600 ATTENTION READ THIS FIRST! 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. A typical installation will include several of various available modules listed in the Product Specifications section on page 2. Each of these modules has specific instructions for terminating their rear connections.
Installing the HPX-1600 Installation Location Notes The Hydraport system requires a mounting surface from 19mm (.75in) to 50mm (2.0in) thick. The Hydraport system requires at least 383mm x 293mm x 159mm (zzin x xxin x yyin) of space below the mounting surface. If the system is to be mounted within a column, pillar or other enclosed space below the mounting surface, please note that final assembly and termination will require the installer to have access to this space below the mounting surface.
Installing the HPX-1600 Note that due to the guide bushing and router bit, the final cutout will be smaller than the opening in the template. The cutout in the mounting surface will be offset to the inside of the template opening by 1/8th inch (3.2 mm) on all sides. Note both the position and orientation of the template relative to the table top or other mounting surface. Note that very little clearance exists between the Hydraport assembly and the hole cutout in the mounting surface.
Installing the HPX-1600 Step 3 - Prepare the Terminations Some modules that are included in the final system require some type of backside termination. Refer to the installation guide for each module to determine the required backside termination. The backside termination for each module can and should be completed before the module is installed into HPX Base assembly. FIG. 6 provides two example illustrations of module backside termination.
