DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIERS

INSTALLING YOUR DA1957CT

6

Step 1. Determine the best location for the DA1957CT. There is an equalization adjustment on the DA1957CT that will affect all the distributed signals. Therefore, place the DA1957CT as equidistant to all receivers as possible.

Step 2. Connect the power adapter to the DA1957CT and plug it into the power outlet. The power indicator LED on the front panel will light red. This indicates that the unit is operational.

Step 3. Connect a cable from the Twisted Pair transmitter to the Input connector on the DA1957CT. The LED should turn green indicating a signal is present.

Step 4. Connect 1 to 4 of the DA1957CT outputs to Twisted Pair receivers. The unused outputs (if any) do not need to be terminated.

Step 5. Connect the receiving devices (monitors, projectors, speaker, etc.) to Twisted Pair receivers per the instructions found in their manuals.

Step 6. Adjust the equalization setting for the best image quality. This normally requires 2 people; one at the transmitter and one at the receiver to adjust the receiver and view the image.

OPERATION

7

The DA1957CT will operate successfully as long as cables are attached properly and other technical specifications are followed. The only adjustment on the DA1957CT is for video equalization and only needs to be made at the time of installation.

Video equalization is provided to fine-tune the displayed image on the remote display. The equalization knob is a single-turn adjustment. At minimum (fully CCW), the arrow points to the 7 o'clock position and at maximum (fully CW) it points to the 5 o'clock position.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

8

We have carefully tested the supplied DA1957CT unit and have found no problems; however, we would like to offer the following suggestions:

8.1 LED IS NOT RED

The LED should be on and red when power is applied and there is no video signal present. If the LED is on and green, the unit is receiving power and a sync signal.

Cause 1: There is no AC power.

Solution: Verify the adapter is plugged into a working AC outlet, and that the outlet has power. Only use the ALTINEX-provided power adapter.

Cause 2: The adapter is not connected.

Solution: Verify the DC power plug coming from the AC adapter is plugged all the way into the DA1957CT.

Cause 3: The DA1957CT has a problem.

Solution: If there is AC power to the adapter and the LED still does not turn on, the DA1957CT or the power adapter may require service, call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.
