Connectivity Instructions
1. Verify all components included with the DL-ARK A/V system are present before installation.
2. If the receiver is going to be permanently mounted to a surface or A/V box, attach the included
mounting brackets with the supplied screws.
3. Turn off power and disconnect the audio/video equipments by following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. Connect Category 6 or greater twisted pair cable between the DL-ARK control pad and transmitter
up to 30m / 100’, then connect a Category 6 or greater cable between transmitter and the receiver up
to 70m / 232’. TIA/EIA-568B straight-through wiring connections must be used.
5. Connect an HDMI cable no greater in length then 5m / 16’ and any desired IR or RS232 control
accessories between the display and the DL-ARK receiver.
6. Connect an HDMI cable no greater than 5m / 16’ in length between the source and the DL-ARK

Cabling Wiring Requirements
Twisted Pair Wiring
Use TIA/EIA-568B wiring for Category 6
connection between send and receive
units.
HDBaseT Cabling
To ensure proper performance of the DL-ARK, it is recommended that you use solid core, shielded
Category 6 F/UTP cabling at a minimum between control pad and transmitter and between transmitter
and receiver. Category 5e F/UTP may perform well but may not support power over HDBaseT reliably
over longer distances.
For optimized HDBaseT performance use the following Liberty Wire and Cable branded cabling;
Category 6 plenum;
24-4P-P-L6SH
Category 6A plenum;
24-4P-P-L6ASH
Category 6 NON-plenum;
24-4P-L6SH
Category 6A NON -plenum;
24-4P-L6ASH
When using shielded category cabling
ALWAYS
...
....use shielded connectors
....properly ground the category cable
