RGB VIDEO BALUNS
3. Installation
To install a pair of RGB Video Baluns, take these steps:
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to open the housing. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the RGB Video Balun. Opening the unit will void your warranty.
1. Make sure that the video-destination device is not too far away from the video-
source device (refer to the
Maximum Distance
specification in
Chapter 1
). If
the destination device is beyond the reach of the source Balun, the video
signal the device receives will be weak or nonexistent.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for turning off power to the video
equipment you will be attaching, and disconnecting that equipment from AC
power and from all other devices.
3. Make certain that the telecommunications outlets and cross-connects to
which you will connect the Baluns are configured properly and are labeled so
that the circuit can be identified.
CAUTION!
Do not connect the RGB Video Balun to a telecommunication outlet
wired to unrelated equipment. Making such a connection may damage
the equipment and/or the Balun. Make sure that all wiring is straight-
through-pinned.
4. Verify that the twisted-pair circuit you want to use is not already being used
for other LAN or telephone equipment.
5.
Optional:
Each Balun comes with VELCRO
®
mounting pads. To mount a
Balun to a surface, first make sure that that surface is free of dust, oil, etc., so
the VELCRO will adhere to it. Then peel off the adhesive backing, attach one
side of the pads to the Balun, and attach the other side to the surface.
CAUTION!
Do not mount the Balun over equipment-ventilation openings. Doing so
might damage the Balun or cause the equipment to overheat.
6. Attach each Balun to its associated RGB device with a set of three cables,
preferably the three included with the Balun. (If you use other cables, they
must have BNC male connectors on the Balun end.)
