3. Installation Critical: CONNECT THE POWER INPUT TERMINAL TO THE TRANSMITTER BEFORE APPLYING A.C. POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER’S POWER SUPPLY. The power supply provides 48V to the TX/RX pair for operation. If wall power is applied to the power supply before a connection is made to the transmitter, there is a likelihood of a power arc to the transmitter power connection which can cause damage or failure. FAILURES OF THIS NATURE ARE NOT COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY. 1. Turn off power at connected sources 2.
4. Bi directional IR Zektor’s new IR inputs are fully opto-isolated to work with virtually any controller, any polarity, and any grounding system accepting voltages between 3.5V to 15V. The Zektor IR outputs use standard pinouts and work with industry standard 5V IR emitters. You can connect a 12V control system to an IR input, and use 5V IR emitters on the outputs. IR Receiver Cable Pinouts: IR Cable from Controller to IR-IN IR Cable from IR-OUT to 5V Emitter 5.
EIA/TIA-568-A and B termination chart. Do not mix termination types on each end! Mixing termination types will damage your extenders and is not covered under our warranty! EZ Crimp RJ45 crimp connectors: We have conducted long term tests on these popular connectors. HDBaseT does not appear to be as susceptible to interference as other technologies. However, to eliminate any potential corrosion on exposed wire ends as well as EMI / RFI interference, we highly recommend standard crimp RJ45 connectors.
6. Troubleshooting Problem: No picture Action: Make sure your source is working properly and outputting video. Check all connections from the source and control ports to the transmitter and from the receiver to the display and control ports. Make sure you have activity lights on the SoloCAT HD™ series transmitter and receiver. If no lights, remove all connections including power. Reconnect CAT5e/6 cable. Within 1-2 seconds you should see activity lights on the transmitter and receiver.
Problem: Intermittent picture, pixilation Action: Check all cabling. This resolves most issues. If you are using EZ Crimp RJ45 connectors make sure the end of the cable is not corroded and/or shorting out. Reterminate to T568B on both ends with standard crimp RJ45 connectors. Check all HDMI connections. Remove all power. Apply power and connections as described in the installation section.
7. Limited Warranty Zektor Incorporated (“Zektor”) warrants the SoloCAT™ HD extender to be free from defects in the material and workmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase from the Zektor or an authorized dealer.
NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES IN NO EVENT SHALL ZEKTOR INCORPORATED OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF ZEKTOR INCORPORATED HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
