a Green LED

When a category cable is connected

and receiving signal this LED will be illuminated. If no cable or signal is being

received, the LED will be o.

Power

A 2-pin captive screw connector for the power supply has been included.

b Yellow LED

This LED displays the status of the HDBaseT rmware. When the LED is blinking slowly, the rmware is good. If the LED is blinking rapidly or o, there is no rmware or the rmware has been

corrupted.

The power cable will be white (or grey striped for earlier versions) for the positive connection and black for the negative connection. These should be placed in the corresponding captive screw ports.

Installation

1. Connect a source to the HDMI IN port on the transmitter.

2. Connect a display to the HDMI OUT port on the receiver.

3. Connect an category cable, from the HDBaseT OUT port on the transmitter, to the HDBaseT IN port on the receiver.

4. Connect the included 48V power supplies into the transmitter.

5. Connect power supply to an AC outlet.

Mounting Instructions

The AT-AVA-EX70-KIT includes two mounting brackets and four mounting screws each, which

can be used to attach the units to any at surface.

1. Position one of the mounting brackets, as shown below, aligning the holes on the side of the enclosure with one set of holes on the mounting bracket.

2. Use the enclosure screws to secure the mounting bracket to the enclosure.

3. Repeat the above steps to attach the second mounting bracket to the opposite side of the unit.

4. Mount the unit using the oval-shaped holes, on each mounting bracket. If using a drywall

surface, a #6 drywall screw is recommended.

NOTE: Mounting brackets can also be inverted

to mount the unit under a table or other at

surface.

Power Chaining

Multiple kits can be powered by one power supply. The included power supply can support up to 3 kits. To power four kits use the optional power supply AT-PS-483125-C (purchase through atlona.

com).

Requirements:

• Up to 4 AVA, UHD, or HDR extenders

• AT-RACK-1RU-ME

• AT-PS-483125-C (if powering 4 extenders)

• 2 x Wago Splicing Connectors

• Up to 4 18/2 AWG Stranded Wire

• Zip Ties

1. Secure up to 4 extenders to the AT-RACK-1RU-ME (purchased separately).

2. Secure the power supply to the shelf using zip ties and the holes at the back of the shelf. If

powering 3 extenders then use the included power supply, if powering 4 then use AT-PS-

483125-C (purchased separately).

3. Connect the wires from the power supply cable to the wago splicers (suggested splicers are

model #: 222-415). Connect the white wire (power/+) to one splicer and the black wire (ground/-)

to the second splicer.

NOTE: Connect only one wire to each port of the splicer.

Installation Guide

4. Use the 18/2 AWG stranded wires to connect each extender into the wago splicers, ensuring that the same wire color is connected to each wago splicer. The colors are

generally black/red, so it is best to connect the black wire to the ground/- port and splicer with the black wire from the power supply and use the red to connect to the power/+ port and the splicer with the white wire from the power supply.

The green bars indicate the signal quality when using each type of cable. Higher-quality signals are represented by more bars.

Core Shielding CAT5e CAT 6 CAT6a CAT 7

Solid UTP (unshielded) N/A

STP (shielded)

Performance Rating (MHz) 350 500 600 800

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use UTP6A (https://atlona.com/product/utp6a/) and STP6X (https://atlona.com/product/stp6x/) if a stranded/patch cable is needed.

These cables have been tested and approved to work with these extenders for full

functionality.

Cable* Max. Distance @ 4K Max. Distance @ 1080p

CAT5e/6 115 feet (35 meters) 200 feet (60 meters)

CAT6a/7 130 feet (40 meters) 230 feet (70 meters)

*Atlona recommends TIA/EIA 568-B termination for optimal performance.

TEST

The transmitter has the ability to test the HDBaseT cable quality through the front panel. Press the test button on the front panel of the transmitter to start the test, the LED will display the

testing results.

TEST

Button:

• Blue Blinking: The test is running properly and the button will blink 10 times during the testing process.

• Red Light: There is no signal for the test to check.

TEST TEST TEST TEST

LED:

• No Light: There is no HDBaseT cable plugged in.

• Blinking: There is no HDBaseT signal coming through.

• Solid Green: The HDBaseT cable is good.

• Solid Yellow: One or two HDBaseT pairs are not working, reterminate the cable.

• Solid Red: Multiple pairs are not working. Reterminate the cable and if the LED turns

yellow or red again, replace the cable.

Updating Firmware

1. Download the rmware .zip le from the rmware tab located at https://atlona.com/product/

AT-AVA-EX70-KIT.

2. Unzip the .bin le to an easy to locate area of the local PC.

3. Connect the transmitter’s FW micro USB port to a PC using a micro USB to USB A cable (purchased separately).

4. The PC should automatically detect the unit and display the autorun options. Select the

view les in folder option. A new window will open.

5. If there are any les inside the folder, delete them, otherwise drag and drop the .bin le into the folder. While the rmware loads to the unit, the green power LED on the front panel will ash. This process can take up to 5 minutes to complete.

6. Once the green LED goes solid, disconnect the unit from the PC. The rmware update is nished.

NOTE: Only the transmitter will be used for updating rmware. The receiver will be

updated once it has been connected to the transmitter if it is not connected at the

time of the rmware update.
