Pre-Installation Remarks
Important! Before starting the installation, please ensure that all devices are powered off. The EDID preset timings stored in the extender are the following: 720×400@70Hz; 640×480@60/72/75Hz; 800×600@60/72/75Hz; 1024×768@60/70/75Hz; 1152×870@60HZ; 1280×960@60Hz; 1152×864@75Hz; 1280×720@60Hz; 1280×1024@60/75Hz; 1440×900@60Hz; 1600×1200@60Hz; 1680×1050@60Hz; 1920×1080@60Hz; 1920×1200@60Hz If the resolution of your monitor is not included above, you must use the Self-EDID learning feature of the transmitter unit to copy the EDID data from the monitor into the transmitter unit. Self-EDID learning procedure
- Power on the display.
- Plug the 5VDC power adapter into the transmitter unit.
- Connect the transmitter unit to the display/sink, not to the HDMI source.
- Push the Self-EDID button with a narrow pin. The R/W LED will blink three times to indicate the reading of EDID information. When the LED is totally turned off, the EDID copying procedure is done.
Recovery of original EDID setting
Plug 5VDC power adapter into the transmitter and disconnect all other
connectors. Push the self-EDID button with a narrow pin. The R/W LED will
blink six times to indicate the recovery of EDID information. When the LED is
totally turned off, the recovery procedure is done.
CAUTION!The Extender will get very hot during operation! Avoid touching it directly and install it with adequate ventilation!
Installation
-
Connect the power supply to both the transmitter (labelled TX on the product label) and receiver (labelled RX). Ensure the green power LEDs near the DC connector and PWR on the top label are turned on (green):
Transmitter: If the graphics source can provide enough power (5V ~500mA) to the transmitter via the DVI connector the transmitter’s power supply is not required. In this case make sure the green power LED is illuminated brightly. A dim LED indicates insufficient power from the DVI port. -
Connect the transmitter and receiver to your DVI-D devices. A short DVI-D extension cable (maximum length 2m) or 90 degree angled adapter may be used if required.
-
Remove the dust covers from transmitter and receiver ports and your LC Cable and connect it to the receiver and transmitter ports. The fibre ports must be crossover connected (left to right and right to left).
-
Please make sure that the LC connectors are fully engaged and power on your display and source to complete the installation
-
Now the 4 SD (Signal Detect) LEDs of receiver will be turned on. It means that the transmitter-receiver link is working and the picture on the monitor should be displayed. If no picture appears, please exchange the two fibres on the ports of the receiver with each other and wait for a few seconds. If you can’t get the proper resolution on the display, please go through the Self-EDID programming procedure above and repeat the installation procedure again.
Troubleshooting Tips
If the CH1 and CH2 LEDs on the receiver are not lit check if the LC cable is properly connected as described above and if the PWR LEDs are all illuminated brightly. If power LEDs are both on, try another short LC cable to make sure the problem is not caused by a faulty LC cable. If your monitor resolution doesn’t match the resolutions as listed above in section Pre-Installation Remarks please follow the steps of Self-EDID learning procedure.
