Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Receiver

3. Installation

1.  At the sending end, connect the AC154A-2 or AC154A-8 to the CPU and local 

monitor and keyboard according to the instructions given in the respective user’s 
manual.

2.  Using Category 5 cable, connect the output of the splitter to the AC155A-R3 

receiver’s UTP IN connector. (See Figure 2-1.)

3.  Connect a monitor and powered speakers to the receiver’s VGA and AUDIO OUT 

connectors. (See Figure 2-2.)

4.  Attach the supplied power supply to the box and plug it in the AC power outlet.

CAUTION:  Before plugging in your remote monitor, verify that the AC line is  

properly wired and that a protective ground (green) wire is established 
with NO potential difference between both the sender and receiver  
locations (the UTP splitter [AC154A-2 or AC154A-8] can tolerate  
up to 5 v peak-to- peak ground noise between the two locations).  
Failure to ensure good grounding can result in erratic operation and  
possible shock hazards with severe damage to your equipment.
