Installation

1.Run CAT-5e cable up to 300 feet (90 m) between the VM1 and the video display locations in the zones.

Note: When running CAT-5e cables, avoid AC power wiring. If you have to run the cables parallel to electrical wiring, space the cable at least 12 inches (30 cm) from AC power lines.

2.Install single-gang UL/CSA-approved plastic wall boxes for the VMR1 receivers. Attach the boxes to the wall with appropriate fasteners.

3.In each zone, punch down the CAT-5e cable on the back of the VMR1 as indicated on the circuit board.

4.Insert the VMR1 into the wall box and secure it with screws. Attach a wall plate.

5.Crimp RJ-45 connectors on the system end of the CAT-5e cables, following the T568A standard as shown.

6.Make sure the VM1 Video Matrix is turned off. Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the appropriate zone outputs on the VM1. (If using wall plates, punch down the CAT-5e per the T568A standard and use straight-through patch cables between the VM1 and the wall plates.)
