Introduction  
FCC Class A Notice  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital  
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following  
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device  
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired  
operation. The Class A limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.  
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not  
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful  
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area  
is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct  
the interference at his own expense.  
Overview  
This manual covers the installation of the Extron PoleVault™ System in a drop ceiling room with a wood or concrete  
structural ceiling above. If the location has a concrete or beam style ceiling and no drop ceiling, alternative ceiling  
mounts can be obtained separately from Extron (see 2c, "Optional items", page 1-9). For those types of installation,  
refer to the individual mounting hardware user's manuals for the method.  
It is assumed that the installer has some knowledge and experience of A/V, electrical, or electronic device  
installation. This manual guides the A/V installer through the steps for installation and connection of each of the  
system’s component parts.  
It may be that the locations for the devices (e.g., wall plates, projector, and screen) have been pre-determined.  
However, some room installation examples are given to help in installations where final location is yet to be  
determined.  
The PoleVault System  
Extron PoleVault Systems are easy-to-use, network-enabled, all-inclusive packages, making them ideal for single-  
projector K-12 classrooms. PoleVault Systems use economical twisted pair cables for transmitting signals and  
include network connectivity for Web-based asset management, monitoring, and control.  
The hardware and devices listed on the inventory pages have individual user manuals which have detailed safety  
information, installation, set-up, and configuration instructions, and should be referred to as needed.  
N
For operation and set up of the projector, screen, and input devices, refer to the relevant manufacturer's manuals  
supplied with those devices.

Before you Begin Installation - Planning  
Before installation is started, you must consider several major factors to ensure that the overall installation is as  
smooth and trouble free as possible, and that the final finished project meets the needs of the customers, users,  
audiences, and installer.  
The installation consideration on the following pages, though not comprehensive, should be consulted to help ensure  
that key aspects have been considered.

1. Mark screen location  
a. Mark the center line and the outer edges of screen.  
When marking the location of screens, devices, or site  
for installing transmitters and MediaLink control  
devices, use painters tape to avoid wall surface damage.  
T
When marking the center line of the screen,  
where possible, keep it aligned with the center of the  
ceiling tile. This makes the projector installation and  
alignment easier.  
b. Mark any structural studs, utility pipes, conduits,  
or fire-breaks before drilling the hardware holes.  
Do not drill the holes at this time.  
2. Install projector to verify location  
a. Remove the ceiling tiles, and mark the maximum and  
minimum throw distances on the T-frame.  
b. Place the PCM 240 over the T-frame, between the two  
marks. Lightly tighten the frame screws.  
c. Back out the set screws on the PCM 240 adapter plate  
and screw the PMP into the pipe adapter, with the cable  
access hole closest to the ceiling. Turn it so the cable  
access hole faces away from the screen.  
Tighten the set screws.

Testing and Adjustment Procedure  
The fully installed system is shown below To test that the  
classroom audio is muted when a PA system announcement (page)  
occurs:  
1. Turn the classroom audio on.  
2. Speak into the PA system microphone. The classroom audio  
should be muted while the PA system page occurs and be  
restored when the page ends.  
3. If the Priority Page Controller fails to mute the classroom  
audio during a page, turn the Sensitivity adjustment, on the  
rear panel of the controller, clockwise.

5. If the classroom audio is muted for too long a time after a  
page, or is restored too early, check the Time DIP switch  
settings. A short time delay is necessary so that if the PA  
system announcer pauses briefly during the announcement,  
the classroom audio is not restored prematurely. Set the  
switches so that the output relay will remain closed for a set  
time after a PA announcement has ended.
