Atlona AT-HDWP-RSNET user manual Captive Screw, Connecting

Captive Screw

Captive screw connectors are an added feature on the HDWP-RSNET. The Captive screw connectors allow you to cut cables down to a suitable length, reducing cable clutter while providing a more reliable connection.

Connecting

When connecting the cables to the female captive screw connector it is important that the wires be terminated correctly. The female captive screw connector (see picture A) has a contact plate at the top and must have the wires touching it for signal to pass. When wired correctly (see picture B) the signal will pass, incorrectly (see picture C) no signal will pass.

The captive screw connectors have a contact bar that is adjusted to compress the wire against the top contact plate. Use the screws at the top of the connector to compress the wire against the contact plate.

Clockwise

Turn the screws clockwise to raise the contact bar to the upper contact plate and hold the wires in place.

Counter

Clockwise

Turn the screws counter clockwise to lower the contact bar to release the wires.

For your convenience the cables do not come pre-terminated. Each item, whether it’s an IR receiver (picture 1), or IR emitter (picture 2), will have exposed wires. Each wire is encased in a different colored cover. Female captive screw connectors are included: IR (see picture 3) and RS-232 (see picture 4).
