INSTALLATION

Installation

Please refer to the safety section first before proceeding with any installation or configuration of the CrystalView Plus.

Installation of the CrystalView Plus consists of three easy steps.

1.Connect the cables to the equipment.

2.Applying power.

3.Adjust the video channels (if needed).

More advanced users can refer to Appendix E for a quick installation and video compensation adjustment guide.

For systems that only require running Video through the CrystalView Plus with no keyboard or mouse or use extended cable lengths between the local unit and a computer or KVM switch, supplemental power should be supplied to the Local Unit. The Local Unit gets its power from the keyboard port of the CPU. Rose Electronics can supply a power transformer that connects to the Local Unit to provide this power. This power transformer can be ordered from Rose Electronics (P/N TFR-05D400FSUB)

When installing the CrystalView Plus, locate the Local unit as close as possible to the CPU. Keep the CPU and KVM cables as short as possible but still give some freedom of movement. Using shorter cables keeps the video noise to a minimum and reduces installation costs. You can mount the CrystalView Plus in a CPU rack with the optional rack mount kit. When mounting in a rack, follow the instructions in Appendix C and Appendix D and assure that the operating temperature of the Local and Remote Units do not exceed the maximum ratings. Provide adequate air circulation to assure that the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded.

Wherever the CrystalView Plus Local and Remote Units are located, they should be on a secure surface and free from obstructions and objects that may cause damage to the units.
