Powering Options

When building an electronic system, make sure that all of the devices are powered down before connecting 

them. Powered on devices may have dangerous voltage levels, that can damage sensitive electronic circuits.

Transmitter

After the system is complete, connect the IEC power cable to the extender unit and then to the power outlet. 

The unit is immediately powered on.
After the extender units are initialized, the attached DVI source and monitor can be powered on.

Receiver

Two power source can be chosen to supply the receiver unit:

To use the built-in power supply

To power the unit remotely

INFO: The laser becomes enabled any time the transmitter is powered on, disregarding that it was disabled 

before or not. This is done to avoid accidental laser loss problems.
INFO: If neither the LEDs nor the LCD light up upon power-up, the unit is most likely damaged and further 

use is not advised. Please contact 

[email protected].
