The maximum distance from the FOX DA to the
controlling device can vary up to 200
'
(61 m). Factors
such as cable gauge, baud rates, environment, and output
levels (from the unit and the controlling device) all affect
transmission distance. Distances of about 50
'
(15 m) are
typically not a problem. In some cases, the unit may be
capable of serial communications via RS-232 up to 250
'
(76 m) away.
System Operation
After the transmitter, the FOX DA, the receiver(s), and
their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully
operational. If any problems are encountered, ensure all
traditional and fiber cables are routed and connected properly:
• Ensure that the video source and the display(s) are
properly connected to the transmitter, the FOX DA, and
the receiver(s), and that all equipment has power applied.
• Ensure that the rear panel Input monitoring LED (item
b
on page 2-7) is indicating correctly for your system
configuration.

If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical
Support Hotline. See the rear cover of this manual for the
