CAUTION 

Before plugging in your remote monitor, verify that the AC line is properly 
wired and that a protective ground (green) wire is established with NO 
potential difference between both the sender and Receiver locations (The 
UTP Splitter can tolerate up to 5 v peak-to-peak ground noise between the 
two locations) . Failure to ensure good grounding can result in erratic 
operation and possible shock hazards with severe damage to your 
equipment.

 

NOTICE 

Do not connect this unit to any LAN device such as network cards or hubs 
as this may damage the AC155A-R3 and/or the LAN device. Use EIA/TIA 
568B standard straight-through patch wiring as shown below. Do not use 
crossover cables.
