a
12 VDC power input
— Connect the provided 12 VDC, 1A power supply to the rear panel captive screw connector (see figure 4).
When power is provided to the unit but there is no HDMI input, the front panel lights amber.
ATTENTION:
•
Always use a power supply provided by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all
regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.
•
Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The
power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location,
Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.
•
The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70,
article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to
building structure or similar structure.
NOTES:
•
The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If it is any
longer, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If it is any shorter, the wires can be easily
pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
•
Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time.

When the transmitter is receiving an HDMI input signal, the front panel LED lights green.
a
Front Panel LED

receiving power from the 12 VDC, 1A power supply. The transmitter
LED lights green if the unit is receiving a TMDS clock signal. The
receiver LED lights green if the unit is receiving an optical signal.
NOTE:
During initialization, the LED may need a few seconds to
stabilize to the correct state.
