Usage Precautions

 System should be installed in a clean environment and has a prop temperature

and humidity.

 All of the power switches, plugs, sockets and power cords should be insulated

and safe.

 All devices should be connected before power on.

Overview:

Installation

① If installing in a back-box, it is recommended that the TPUH406TV-US be installed

in a 4-5/8” square box at a minimum. The 4-5/8” square box has sufficient space to
terminate the cables with jacks behind the unit when fully installed.

② Run one twisted pair cable from the TPUH406TV-US location to the location where

the HDBaseT Receiver will be located (somewhere near the display device).See

③ If using the Control Panel, run another twisted pair cable from the TPUH406TV-US

location to the location that the Control Panel will be mounted.

④ All twisted pair cables should be terminated with jacks. This allows the permanent

link between the two devices to be tested.

⑤ Use the appropriate category rated patch cable to connect the HDBaseT link to the

HDBT OUT connector.

⑥ If using the Control Panel, use the supplied adapter cable to connect with the

second cable and follow the installation instructions for the HDBaseT Receiver and
Control Panel.

Note: We recommends Category 6A cabling with alien crosstalk prevention technology
for the performance of HDBaseT link.
