• For use in dry, oil free indoor environments only.
• Do not use to link between buildings.
• Not suitable for use in hazardous or explosive
environments or next to highly ammable
materials.
• Ensure that all twisted pair interconnect cables
are installed in compliance with all applicable
wiring regulations.
• Do not connect the CATx link interface (RJ45
style connector) to any other equipment,
particularly network or telecommunications
equipment.
• Where possible, avoid laying the twisted pair
link cable(s) alongside power cables.
• Warning – the power adapter contains live
parts.
• No user serviceable parts are contained within
the power adapter - do not dismantle.
• The primary means to cease operation of the
modules is to remove the power adapter lead.
Ensure that the power adapter is positioned
near to the equipment and is easily accessible.
• Do not use the power adapter if the power
adapter case becomes damaged, cracked or
broken or if you suspect that it is not operating
properly.
• Replace the power adapter with a manufacturer
approved type only.
• If you use a power extension cable with the
modules, make sure the total ampere rating of
the devices plugged into the extension cable
do not exceed the cable’s ampere rating. Also,
make sure that the total ampere rating of all the
devices plugged into the wall outlet does not
exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
• Do not attempt to service the modules yourself.
• The modules and power supplies can get
warm in operation – do not situate them in an
enclosed space without any ventilation.
• The modules do not provide ground isolation
and should not be used for any applications that
require ground isolation or galvanic isolation.
• Use only with grounded outlets at both the
computer and monitor. When using a backup
power supply (UPS), power the computer, the
monitor and the module from the same supply.
• For correct operation, the transmitter
and receiver modules must have ground
connections. At the computer end, this is
achieved by ensuring that the computer that
the module is connected to has a ground
connection. At the audio/visual device end, this
can be achieved by ensuring that the power
supply is connected to a grounded power
outlet. Alternatively, a ground connection will
be made via the monitor, if the monitor is itself
grounded.

Connection overview
• For full explanations of connections, including cascade
connections, please refer to the full user guide provided
on the CD-ROM and also at www.adder.com.
• Please consult the Safety information on the rear page
of this quick start guide.
Locations
Please consider the following important points
when planning the positions of your AdderLink AV
modules:
• Take care not to exceed the maximum link
cable lengths (please refer to the section
‘Making cascade connections’ in the main user
guide for a full explanation).
• Ensure that the transmitters are as close as
possible to the source PC system and the
receivers are similarly close to the display
modules. Use video connection cables that are
correctly shielded and are no longer than 6m
in length.
• Wherever possible, choose routes for the
CATx twisted pair link cables that avoid mains
power cables.
• Remember a mains power socket is required
for each transmitter and receiver.
Resolutions and cable lengths
The maximum resolutions achievable are:
1600 x 1200 x 60Hz at 200m and 1280
x 1024 x 60Hz at 300m. If you are using
lower resolutions then it may be possible
to achieve longer transmission distances
although we do not recommend runs
longer than 300m in any installation. If
you are running shorter cables then it may
be possible to use more cascades.
