Installation / Operation Instructions

Unpack the amplifier and power supply from each box. Place the transmitter amplifier in a dry location, usually behind the shelf where the source is located.

Connect the source device outputs to the appropriate input jacks on the CAT5TX. The loop out jacks can be used to feed a local monitor or a second transmitter if installed.

Do not connect the Loop Out cable unless it is plugged into a monitor.

Connect Cat5 cables A1 and B1 to the Transmitter RJ-45 jacks. At the other end of the same cables, connect A1 and B1 to the CAT5RX. The RCA outputs are used to connect to the remote monitor.

Insert the power supply connector into the power jacks of both units. Plug the wall transformer into a 120Vac outlet. The power LED should be on and the unit is ready to use. The CAT5RX will have 3 LEDs on to indicate continuity of the CAT5 cable. If one of the Continuity LEDs is not on, there could be a problem with the A cable. Both A and B cables should be installed for the detector to work properly.

Adjust the equalization control to the approximate length of the Cat5 cable. View the picture on the monitor and fine tune the equalization control for the most pleasing picture.

There are 1/8” mini-jacks available to allow the transport of IR signals. This requires optional external IR system.

Installation is complete.

CAT5 Distribution Hubs

The Cat5 TX has one set of RCA inputs and one set of RCA loop-thru connectors to go to the next Transmitter if installed. The unit allows any Audio/Video source, with Y, Cb, Cr, or Y, Pb, Pr Outputs (component), to distribute Audio and Video to distant locations with excellent picture quality. The amplifier also supports digital audio.

The Cat5 RX supports one monitor with component video, right and left audio, and digital audio. The RX has an adjustable equalizer to correct for the signal loss caused by long cables. An optional external IR system can be used with IR jacks.
