Installation

1. Connect a source to the HDMI IN port on the transmitter.
2. Connect a display to the HDMI OUT port on the receiver.
3. Connect an category cable, from the HDBaseT OUT port on the transmitter, to the HDBaseT IN port on the receiver.
4. Connect the included 48V power supplies into the transmitter.
5. Connect power supply to an AC outlet.

Mounting Instructions
The AT-AVA-EX70-KIT includes two mounting brackets and four mounting screws each, which can be used to attach the units to any flat surface.

1. Position one of the mounting brackets, as shown below, aligning the holes on the side of the enclosure with one set of holes on the mounting bracket.
2. Use the enclosure screws to secure the mounting bracket to the enclosure.
3. Repeat the above steps to attach the second mounting bracket to the opposite side of the unit.
4. Mount the unit using the oval-shaped holes, on each mounting bracket. If using a drywall surface, a #6 drywall screw is recommended.

NOTE: Mounting brackets can also be inverted to mount the unit under a table or other flat surface.

Power Chaining

Multiple kits can be powered by one power supply. The included power supply can support up to 3 kits. To power four kits use the optional power supply AT- PS-483125-C (purchase through atlona. com)

Requirements:

• Up to 4 AVA, UHD, or HDR extenders
• AT-RACK-1RU-ME
• AT-PS-483125-C (if powering 4 extenders)
• 2 x Wago Splicing Connectors
• Up to 4 18/2 AWG Stranded Wire
• Zip Ties

1. Secure up to 4 extenders to the AT-RACK-1RU-ME (purchased separately).
2. Secure the power supply to the shelf using zip ties and the holes at the back of the shelf. If powering 3 extenders then use the included power supply, if powering 4 then use AT-PS- 483125-C (purchased separately).
3. Connect the wires from the power supply cable to the wago splicers (suggested splicers are model #: 222-415). Connect the white wire (power/+) to one splicer and the black wire (ground/-) to the second splicer.
4. Use the 18/2 AWG stranded wires to connect each extender into the wago splicers, ensuring that the same wire color is connected to each wago splicer. The colors are generally black/red, so it is best to connect the black wire to the ground/- port and splicer with the black wire from the power supply and use the red to connect to the power/+ port and the splicer with the white wire from the power supply.

Cable Recommendation Guidelines

Refer to the tables below for recommended cabling when using Altona products with HDBaseT. The green bars indicate the signal quality when using each type of cable. Higher-quality signals are represented by more bars.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use UTP6A (https://atlona.com/product/utp6a/) and STP6X (https://atlona.com/product/stp6x/) if a stranded/patch cable is needed. These cables have been tested and approved to work with these extenders for full functionality.

TEST
The transmitter has the ability to test the HDBaseT cable quality through the front panel. Press the test button on the front panel of the transmitter to start the test, the LED will display the testing results.

• Button:
  • Blue Blinking: The test is running properly and the button will blink 10 times during the testing process.
  • Red Light: There is no signal for the test to check.
• LED:
  • No Light: There is no HDBaseT cable plugged in.
  • Blinking: There is no HDBaseT signal coming through.
  • Solid Green: The HDBaseT cable is good.
  • Solid Yellow: One or two HDBaseT pairs are not working, reterminate the cable.
  • Solid Red: Multiple pairs are not working. Reterminate the cable and if the LED turns yellow or red again, replace the cable.

Updating Firmware

1. Download the firmware .zip file from the firmware tab located at https://atlona.com/product/ AT-AVA-EX70-KIT.
2. Unzip the .bin file to an easy to locate area of the local PC.
3. Connect the transmitter’s FW micro USB port to a PC using a micro USB to USB A cable (purchased separately).
4. The PC should automatically detect the unit and display the autorun options. Select the view files in folder option. A new window will open.
5. If there are any files inside the folder, delete them, otherwise drag and drop the .bin file into the folder. While the firmware loads to the unit, the green power LED on the front panel will flash. This process can take up to 5 minutes to complete.
6. Once the green LED goes solid, disconnect the unit from the PC. The firmware update is finished.

NOTE: Only the transmitter will be used for updating firmware. The receiver will be updated once it has been connected to the transmitter if it is not connected at the time of the firmware update.
