Step 7

Connect the 12 VDC power supply to the 2-pole captive screw connector on the transmitter. Do not switch on the power 
supply.

Step 8

Connect the receiver to a low resolution video display using either the output BNC connectors (component, S-video, or 
composite) or the 4-pin mini DIN (S-video only), as shown in the figure below.

Step 9

Connect the audio output from the receiver to a sound system, using the 5 pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector.

Step 10

If required, connect an alarm system to the 2-pole captive screw connector (marked Alarm) on the receiver.

Step 11

Connect the fiber optic cable(s) from the transmitter to the back of the receiver (see the figure below). Fiber optic link 1 
connects the Tx port of the transmitter to the Rx port of the receiver and is essential for transmission of video, audio, and 
control signals from the transmitter to the receiver. Fiber optic link 2 connects the Rx port of the transmitter to the Tx 
port of the receiver. Although it is optional, two-way communication from the Tx port of the receiver is required to fully 
configure the system using RS-232 commands or FOX Extender Windows Control Program.

Link 2 may be connected to another receiver in a daisy chain. In that case, there is no return link to the transmitter.

Step 12

Connect an RS-232 control device to the 5-pole captive screw connector or the front panel Config port of the receiver. These 
ports are an alternative to the transmitter ports (see steps 

5

 and 

6

).

NOTE:

  If the RS-232 control device is connected to the receiver, fiber optic link 2 is required to configure the transmitter.

Step 13

Connect the 12 VDC power supply to the 2-pole captive screw connector of the receiver.

Step 14

Power up all devices and configure the system using the Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands or FOX Extender Windows 
Control Program. Consult the user guide (available online at www.extron.com) for more information about SIS commands 
and the Control Program.
