Introduction • About this Guide • About the DTP HDMI 230 D Extenders • Features About this Guide This guide describes the Extron DTP HDMI 230 D family of High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) Extenders, which consists of DTP HDMI 230 D transmitters and DTP HDMI 230 D receivers. This guide describes how to install, operate, and configure them.
Twisted Pair Cable Advantages Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial or HDMI cable. These transmitter and receiver twisted pair (TP) products make cable runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical (see Connector and Cable Details on page 10 for more information). NOTE: Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201 cable to link the transmitter and receiver.
Installation and Operation This section describes the installation and the operation of the DTP HDMI 230 D, including: • Mounting the Transmitter or Receiver • Transmitter Connections • Receiver Connections • Connector and Cable Details • Power Supply Wiring • RS-232 and IR Connector Wiring • Operation • Ground Loops Mounting the Transmitter or Receiver ATTENTION: Installation and service must be performed by experienced personnel.
To install a new wall box, perform steps 1 through 9. If a suitable wall box is already installed, perform steps 6 through 9 on the next page. UL-listed wall boxes are recommended. 1. If a wall box is not available to use for a template, use the Decora Template Dimensions on page 15 to create a template. If installing directly into furniture, cut out the center portion of the template. 2. Place the wall box (or the template) against the installation surface, and mark the opening guidelines. 3.
6. Feed the twisted pair cables and, if applicable, the power cables through the opening and through the wall box punch-out holes, securing them with cable clamps to provide strain relief. NOTES: • In order to fit in the wall box, the twisted pair cables and RJ-45 connectors should not have a boot installed. • One power supply can power both the transmitter and the receiver, so only one unit needs a power supply (see Power Supply Wiring on page 11 and Ground Loops on page 14. 7.
Final installation After testing and making any adjustments, do the following: 1. At the power outlet, unplug the power supply. NOTE: One power supply can power both the transmitter and the receiver (see Power Supply Wiring on page 11 and Ground Loops on page 14). 2. Mount the transmitter or receiver into the wall box or mud ring, and attach the supplied Decora faceplate to the unit (see figure 2 on page 4). 3. At the power outlet, reconnect the power supply. This powers up both units.
c RS-232/IR (Control) pass-through connector — Connect a serial communications port to this 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for bidirectional RS-232 communication (see RS-232 and IR connector wiring on page 12 to wire the connector). NOTE: The RS-232 connector can also transmit one-way modulated infrared (IR) signals. Transmitter Rear Panel SIG LINK POWER 12V 0.8 A MAX 2 1 DTP OUT DTP 230 D Tx Figure 6.

Power Supply Wiring NOTES: • Only one power supply is required. A single power supply connected to either unit in the pair powers both units. • A power supply is included with each individually-packaged transmitter. Figure 10 shows how to wire the connector. Snap the provided ferrite bead onto the DC power cable, between the power supply and the connector on the HDMI unit. 3/16" (5 mm) Max.

Transmitter Power Indicator a Power LED — This two-color front panel LED lights to indicate signal and power status as follows: • Amber — The unit is receiving power but no signal on the HDMI input. • Green — The unit is receiving power and a signal is present on the HDMI input. Receiver Power Indicator b Power LED — This two-color front panel LED lights to indicate signal and power status as follows: • Amber — The unit is receiving power but no signal on the TP input.
Ground Loops When installing the DTP HDMI 230 D series products, be sure to avoid scenarios where the ground potential differs greatly between the locations where the DTP transmitter and DTP receiver are installed. Such situations can cause ground loops, which can result in image drops, no image, or damage to the units. If such installations cannot be avoided, it is necessary to isolate the ground between the DTP transmitter and receiver.
