Installation and Operation, cont’d

 

N Connect transmitter output 1 to receiver input 1.

 

Connect transmitter output 2 to receiver input 2.

 

N If necessary, test for proper cable connection (output 1 to

 

input 1, output 2 to input 2) as follows:

 

1. Plug both TP cables into the powered unit.

 

2. Momentarily connect either of the cables on the

 

opposite end into the unpowered unit‘s “2” connector.

 

If the unpowered unit’s Power LED is lit, the

 

connection is correct.

 

If the unpowered unit’s Power LED is not lit,

 

unplug the connector on the unpowered end and

 

connect the other cable to the “2” connector.

 

See "TP cable termination," on page 2-23, to properly wire the

 

RJ-45 connectors.

G

Audio Output connector (DVI 201 A D Tx [Decora] only) —

 

Connect one end of a 5-wire audio cable to this 3.5 mm, 5-pole

 

direct insertion connector.

 

Connect the free end of the same cable from the transmitter to

 

any compatibly wired unit, such as a switcher, an amplifier, or a

 

DVI 201 A D Rx (Decora) receiver.

 

Figure 2-15 shows how to wire the captive screw audio

 

connector. Insert the wires into the appropriate openings in the

 

direct insertion connector. Tighten the screws on the side to

 

fasten the wires.
