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 75 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.
b
  DVI-D input connector — Connect a DVI-D source to this male connector.
NOTES:
•  Although the cable is terminated with a DVI-I connector, the transmitter is 
compatible only with a single link DVI-D signal.
•  The DFX 100 does not support HDCP.
When the transmitter is receiving DVI input signal, the front panel LED lights green.
