RS232 Wiring
Troubleshooting
Regardless of manufacturer or product, the majority of installation
difficulties can typically be attributed to communication problems between
devices or when high bandwidth transmissions are attempted with
insufficient cable/connections.
We recommend referring to the full instruction manual for this product, but
the following checklist offers general issues and causes that should help
you shoot your way out of trouble without seeking further assistance.
No or poor quality picture?
Device Connection - Are you connected and powered? Double check
all HDMI, UTP and power connections are firmly inserted into correct
ports and that all devices are powered.
NOTE: If receiver PoH powering issues are experienced, use a 12v
local power supply at display zones.
Cable length – is your signal struggling to transmit signals or power
the distance of your cable? You may be experiencing interference that
exceeds the maximum capacity of your transmission cable distance.
Make sure you are within specified cable distances for this product and
check cable and connection condition and installation environment for
issues.
Try a shorter cable run, an extender with a longer range or EDID
management of the matrix -
see full manual for EDID DIP switch
settings
Signal strength – please note the use of cable joins, stranded patch
panels, wall outlets and stranded patch leads as interconnects between
them, can significantly reduce signal strength. Use solid core, straight
through connections wherever possible.
Resolution - If you reduce the resolution of the source, do you get a
picture? If so, this suggests a conflicting resolution between source and
display or a bandwidth capacity issue with your cable. Check all inputs
and outputs share the same resolution and make sure the signal is being
successfully transmitted the full length of your cable run.
Picture ‘snow’ / HD ‘noise’ – signifies a failure to fully establish a signal
and can often be caused by poorly terminated HDMI connectors or
excessive cable lengths. If using an extender set with this product, ensure
your cable is correctly wired to 568B standards. Try swapping in a display
and receiver from a fully functioning location – if the problem continues
on the same output, turn off all equipment and swap your signal carrying
cables at both ends.
Cable quality and condition – HDMI cable/connectors can be easily
damaged and the quality of material can vary, especially in lower price
brackets. Successful transmission of video, audio and control, can all be
affected by cable and termination quality. Always use good quality leads
and cables. Should transmission problems be experienced, try swapping
cables/leads for those already working to see if this improves your image
to identify cable issue as source of problem.
Blu-Ray, 3D - Make sure all your equipment has been configured
and enabled to transmit and accept the signal, or is capable of passing
a signal. Are resolutions between source and display compatible and
cable adequate for the large bandwidth required by Blu-ray and 3D
transmissions?
4K - Are you trying to pass a 4K signal or are you combining 4K and
HD sources and displays? This product does not support 4K. For full list

specification.
IR Control
Check the IR receiving window of the matrix or the IR EXT receiver is
unobstructed and able to receive IR signals from the remote handset used
to control the matrix.
Is your remote control powered and sending a signal? As IR is invisible
to the naked eye, check your remote is transmitting a signal by viewing
the remote handset sensor through a digital camera/camera phone – the
emitter on the handset should flash when a button on the handset is held
down.
IR signal dropout can be experienced due to environmental infrared
radiation. Ensure the matrix IR receiving window or IR EXT receiver are
away from direct sunlight, halogen lighting and plasma screens that may
interfere with IR signals.
Safety Recommendations:
Do not expose this apparatus to any form of moisture, including the
placement of anything containing liquids on the unit.
To prevent risk of electric shock or fire hazard, ensure apparatus is
installed in an unobstructed, well ventilated area away from any external
heat sources - including other electrical devices which may produce heat.
Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer and
refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Failure to adhere to these recommendations may invalidate your
warranty.
