See
Figures 6, 7 and 8
FS-3, FS-4 and FS-5 systems have a balanced audio
output designed for use in audio systems where
the audio equipment is located up to 500 feet from
the iPort. FS-5 systems have balanced video output
designed for use with video equipment that is locat-
ed up to 250 feet from the iPort.
1.
Select locations for the various system
components. Refer to
Figure 6
for a block
diagram of the entire iPort system.
• The Sender and Receiver Wallplates should be
mounted into the walls using standard single or
dual electrical boxes. In FS-5 systems the two
Sender Wallplates can share a double box.
Important: Do
not
install an iPort Wallplate in
the same electrical box as AC house wiring, a
light switch or any other high-voltage device
or control. The Wallplates can share gang
boxes with each other, or with other controls
such as A/B speaker switches, infrared
receivers and volume controls, if these other
devices are rated as Class 2 devices according
to the National Electrical Code.
• The Advanced Connection Box can be placed
on a table or attached to a wall. See
Attaching
The Advanced Connection Box To a Wall
, on
page 19, for details.
2a. Run a length of Cat5 cable through the wall
between the two Audio Wallplate locations.
Maximum length for the audio Cat5 cable is 500
feet. See
Figure 8
on page 13.
