Hardware Reference Manual – DXLink Twisted Pair™ Transmitters/Receiver
Mounting Options for Wallplates
Wallplate TX
– The holes in the Wallplate TX’s mounting bracket are designed to accommodate a variety of double-gang back boxes
using two or four screws. Two types of screws are provided: standard and metric. Be sure to orient the mounting bracket as shown
in FIG. 21.
Decor Wallplate TX
– The Decor Wallplate TX mounts in a standard US double-gang back box. Standard decor style cover plates are
customer provided to allow matching the individual decor of an environment or matching other standard decor covers in a room/
area.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to measure the back box and any other components used to mount the Decor Wallplate TX prior to installation/
construction to ensure the unit fits (e.g., some mud rings do not work unless their corners are modified).
Attaching a Ground Wire to DXLink Transmitters/Receivers
NOTE:
Technically this type of grounding is only required when a DXLink Transmitter or Receiver is connected to an ungrounded
device, but this added grounding measure can be used at the discretion of the installer.
If the system is experiencing problems with delivery of DXLink signals to/from an Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher or Enova DVX
Solution, adding a ground wire from the TX/RX to the switcher may improve performance. The problem is likely caused by the use
of a single phase powered system that does not provide an earth ground for a source or destination’s chassis and shields. This can
inject unnecessary AC voltage on the HDMI cable shield that can lead to DXLink signal integrity issues. To check for indications of
this type of power in the system, look for a two pronged plug or a cord that has only two wires.
Items Required
Phillips #1 screwdriver
6 foot ground wire with ring terminal ends (provided)
NOTE:
Currently shipping DXLink Transmitters and Receivers provide a designated ground location on the rear of the chassis for
attaching a ground wire. For instructions on attaching a ground wire to DXLink Modules without a designated ground location, see
page 115.
Attaching a Ground Wire to a Common Earthed Ground
Connect the running end of the ground wire (fixed end attached to a DXLink Transmitter or Receiver) to a common earthed ground
(ideally, referenced to the Enova DGX Switcher or Enova DVX Solution).
IMPORTANT:
If one DXLink Transmitter or Receiver is grounded, any remaining ungrounded units that are connected to the same
board on the Enova DGX Switcher must also be grounded.
Attaching Ground Wire to Module
IMPORTANT:
Before attaching the ground wire to the chassis, ensure all connectors are clear.
To attach a ground wire to a module:

If powered, power down the DXLink Module.
