Installation

CAUTION Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. The TP T 468 must be used with a UL approved electrical box.

Overview

To install and set up a TP transmitter and the associated TP receiver(s) for operation, perform the following steps:

1Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the video source(s) (such as computers or DVD players), the transmitter, the receiver, and the output display(s).

2For component, S-video, or composite video, reconfigure the jumpers (TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, and TP T BNC DA4) or DIP switch (TP T 468). See “Video jumpers” or Video DIP switch,” later in this chapter.

3TP T 15HD AV only — If desired, configure the audio jumpers to make the transmitter compatible with unmodified TP receivers. See “Audio jumpers,” later in this chapter.

The TP T 15HD AV is a redesigned (modified) transmitter. The audio jumpers configure the audio portion of the composite video TP link to work with the similarly redesigned TP R BNC AV receiver or with older, unmodified receivers. Redesigned transmitters and receivers have an identifying label.

4Mount the transmitter in a rack, under a desk or podium, in a desk or table (TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, or

TP T BNC DA4) or in a wall (TP T 468). See “Mounting the TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, or TP T BNC DA4” or “Installing the TP T 468,” later in this chapter.

5Connect the input cables. See “Input cabling,” later in this chapter.

6Connect the cable(s) between the transmitter and the TP receiver(s). See “Transmitted signal cabling,” later in this chapter and refer to the TP Receivers Family User’s Manual.

7Configure the TP receiver(s). Refer to the TP Receivers Family User’s Manual.

8Connect power cords to the TP receiver, the TP transmitter, and turn on the video source(s) and the output display(s).

All TP transmitters include a 15 V external power supply. The transmitters also receive power from the associated Extron TP receiver(s) (with the exception of the TP R 15HD A) via the TP cable. Extron recommends using the local power supply; however, the power supply may not be necessary in some applications.

•The TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, TP T 468, and TP T BNC may not require a local power supply for cable lengths of 300' (91 m) or less.

•The TP T BNC DA4 and any transmitter connected to a TP R 15HD A always require the local power supply.

If you encounter problems, use the local power supply.

9Adjust the picture controls on the front panel of the transmitter and receiver(s). See “Front Panel Control and Indicator,” later in this chapter, and refer to the TP Receivers Family User’s Manual.

10TP T 468 only — Mount the transmitter into the mud ring or electrical box. See “Mounting the AAP devices” and “Mounting the transmitter to the mud ring or wall box” or “Euro Channel transmitter installation,” later in this chapter.

11TP T 468 only — Restore power to the devices.

Video jumpers

The TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, TP T BNC, and

TP T BNC DA4 transmitters can be configured to transmit component video, S-video, or composite video.

The transmitters are factory configured for RGB video.

For any other type of video, reconfigure the jumpers.

1. Remove the two screws on each side and the screw on top of the cover (figure 2-1).
