2. Installation Procedures
Note: Download and read the entire online manual to become familiar with the
TP315-102 and for detailed installation instructions, including multiple receiver wiring.
Step 1: Connect the TP315-102 Receiver to the TP315-101 Transmitter using any
2 wires or 2-conductor cable. For best results, use 24 to 12 gage wire; the 12 gage limitation is due to the opening in the terminal connector.
The terminals are red and black, but there is no
polarity. Connect either wire to either terminal. Step 2: Connect the TP315-102 to AC power using the cord provided. Step 3: Connect the display to the HDMI output on the TP315-102 using the HDMI cable provided. Step 4. The Anywire receiver is now operating. Once the transmitter detects the receiver, video is displayed automatically. Step 5. The Anywire Transmitter/Receiver pair allows IR pass-through from the receiver (far side) to the transmitter (near side). An IR
receiver is included with the TP315-102 and may be connected to the HDMI display (or anywhere accessible to the user)
allowing a remote control on the user/receiver side to control the source on the transmitter side of the Anywire installation. The
Anywire transmitter includes an IR emitter.

5. About Your TP315-102
HDMI over 2-conductor cable Automatic input detection HDMI resolutions 720p, 1080i, and 1080p Transmission up to 300 m IR pass-through control
The TP315-102 HDMI over Anywire receiver allows the receipt of 1080P HDMI signals up to 300 m using a simple 2-conductor cable. A single transmitter is capable of driving up to 4 receivers using either 4 individual wire pairs over 300 m each, or by daisy chaining the receivers. The only restriction being the wire pair from the transmitter to each receiver cannot be bundled together as crosstalk will occur.
The TP315-102 is an economical solution for many audiovisual installations. The 2 wire solution makes installation easy without the need to cut and splice wires and install expensive connectors or purchase costly cables. Simply route your wires, cut and trim the installation and connect to the terminals. That's it!
The unique design of the Anywire Receiver provides stable video over greater distances than other designs. IR pass-through for receiver side to transmitter side control is provided without corrupting the HDMI signal during transmission of IR signals.
Operation does not require any user control or interaction. Simply connect the Anywire input and when the transmitter detects the receiver the receiver begins video transmission to the display.

Symptom
Resolution
LEDs on Are Off
The unit may not be receiving power.
1. Make sure the unit is plugged into a working AC outlet. Use only the power cord provided.
2. The Connected LED should be on and green.
Data Transmission LED is flashing very slow
The transmitter and receiver are not communicating.
1. Check the 2 wire connection; make sure both wires are connected.
2. Make sure the transmitter is powered on.
3. Press the reset button on the side of the unit or reset power to force the transmitter to try and re-establish a connection.
No Display
The HDMI input signal may be missing.
1. Check the source and make sure there is a signal present.
2. Make sure the source resolution is 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
3. Make sure both the TP315-101 and TP315-102 are powered and the Connected LEDs are both green.
4. Make sure the monitor has power and is turned on.
5. Verify the monitor is connected to the TP315-102 Receiver's HDMI output
6. Make sure the monitor's correct HDMI input number is selected.
Poor Output Image
1. The source resolution may not be compatible with the projector or other display device. Try other resolutions from the source.
2. The source and display may not be compatible. Connect the source directly to the input of the projector or other display device. If the image is poor the devices may be incompatible.
3. If using multiple receivers, make sure that the transmission lines are not bundled together at any point in the transmission. If the cables are bundled (zip tied together) this causes crosstalk between the different channels and can result in image problems.
7. Operation
The TP315-102 requires no adjustments for performance. Once set-up, the TP315-102 Anywire Transmitter will work trouble-free without user intervention.
7.1 Reset Button
A reset button is provided on the side of the unit to allow a forced reset without having to disconnect power. Use this only if there are problems connecting to the receiver; typically after a new display is installed or after a power outage.
