HARDWARE INSTALLATION

-

-
Connect the power on the RK8-HLX-500 transmitter plugging in their power adapters (12VDC2A) or provide 12VDC input from the rear DC input port.
NOTE: If the RX side has connected DC adapter, TX can get the DC power over the CAT5e/CAT6 cable, so leave DC input port empty. Only 1 power supply is required for both units. (In certain cases, if the receiver has too much drop off power, we recommend to connect a 12V DC power supply to each receiver -
Power on the HDMI source, displays and speakers. The RX will read the EDID from the monitor, and then pass the data into the TX automatically.
INTALLATION NOTE: Do not stack receiver units. Stacking inhibits heat distribution.
