Furniture mounting

Do not attach the rubber feet. Furniture mount the DA using the optional mounting kit (part #70-077-01) as follows:

1.

Remove rubber feet if they were previously installed on

 

the bottom of the DA.

2.

Attach the furniture mounting brackets to the DA with the

 

provided machine screws (figure 5).

Figure 5 — Attaching the furniture mounting brackets to an MTP DA

3.

Hold the DA with the attached brackets against the

 

underside of the table or other furniture. Mark the

 

location of the screw holes of the bracket on the mounting

 

surface.

4.

Drill 3/32" (2 mm) diameter pilot holes, 1/4" (6.3 mm)

 

deep in the mounting surface at the marked screw

 

locations.

5.

Insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten

 

each screw into the mounting surface until just less than

 

1/4" of the screw protrudes.

6.

Align the mounting screws with the slots in the brackets

 

and place the DA against the surface, with the screws

 

through the bracket slots.

7.

Slide the DA slightly forward or back, then tighten all four

 

screws to secure the unit in place.

1Power connector — Plug the included external 12 VDC power supply into this 2-pole captive screw connector. See Power supply wiring, on page 10, to wire the connector.

2A/V Input connector — Connect one end of the cable, carrying the video and audio or serial TP link from the transmitting device, to this RJ-45 female connector.

See TP cable termination, on page 11, to wire the RJ-45 connectors.

3A/V Output connector — Connect one end of a , carrying the video and audio or serial TP link from the transmitting device, cable to this RJ-45 female connector on the receiver.

Connect the free end of the same cable, carrying the distributed video and audio or serial TP link, from the DA to the receiver.

See TP cable termination, on page 11, to wire the RJ-45 connectors.

The MTP DA’s output does not provide any pre-peaking control. The total recommended distance for a complex system with multiple DA outputs is the same as for a simple system with a single transmitter and receiver.

See the recommended transmission ranges in the table on page 3. The table’s recommendations apply to a complete transmission system, which can include a single transmitter, DA, and multiple receivers or a complex system including multiple daisy-chained receivers.
