To Connect the Link Cable(s)

The links between the transmitter and receiver units are made using between one and four twisted pair cables, specified to Category 5 or higher. Each cable carries video and audio signals to each receiver unit.

When a single receiver is attached to a link cable, the maximum length of that link cable is 1000 feet (600 feet for EMS1000P models).

Transmitter Receiver

Overall maximum link length: 1000 feet (600 feet for EMS1000P)

However, if further receivers are connected in cascade to the initial receiver using its LINK OUT port (Emerge EMS1000MP-R models only), then the overall length of the link cables used must be reduced. For further information, please refer to the section Making Cascade Connections.

NOTE: Where possible, avoid laying the twisted pair link cable(s) alongside power cables.

Emerge EMS1000P models

1. Attach the connector of the link cable to the socket labeled LINK on the Emerge EMS1000P transmitter. There should be a click when the cable is fully inserted and locked in place.
