Introduction
The section discusses basic information as an introduction to the PVT Series of twisted pair
AV input wallplates.
This section covers the following:
• About the PVT Input Wallplates
About the PVT Input Wallplates
The Extron PVT Series PoleVault® Twisted Pair Input Wallplates (Decora® and Architectural
Adapter Plates [AAP] models) described in this guide are a series of five cost effective twisted
pair transmitters. These transmitters work exclusively with PoleVault (PVS) switchers, which
are twisted pair switchers with a built in power amplifier.
PVT input wallplates are part of a system for distribution of composite video and stereo
audio, or high resolution video (RGB) and stereo audio, over:
• Extron Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable
• CAT 5e, or 6 shielded twisted pair (STP) cable
• unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable
• foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable
All PVT wallplates are remotely powered via the twisted pair cable when connected to the
PoleVault switcher.
NOTES: PVT series of input wallplates are compatible ONLY with PVS (PoleVault)
switchers.
For PVS switcher installation and operation information, refer to the guide
supplied with the device.
Transmission distance
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is
input to the transmitter. However, all PVT models are capable of transmitting signals to the
PVS switcher if it is located not more than 125 feet away. The optimum distance is between
50 and 75 feet.
The PVT Decora and AAP models can be mounted in UL standard wall boxes with Decora-
style face plates or in AAP openings in wall or device face plates. The model types are as
follows:
PVT CV D, PVT CV AAP — Transmit composite video and stereo audio.
PVT RGB D, PVT RGB D Plus, PVT RGB AAP — Transmit computer (RGB) video and stereo
audio.
See the “About the PVT ...” sections in this chapter for details.

Installation
The section discusses the method of installation, cabling, and using EDID Minder of the
PVT series wallplates.
This section covers the following:
• UL Safety Requirements
• Installing the Wallplates
• Connections and Settings
• EDID Minder
UL Safety Requirements
The Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements listed below pertain to the safe installation
and operation of these devices.
Important safety instructions
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for
your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments or accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the stand, tripod, bracket, or table specied by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way. Examples of this could be if the power-supply
cord or plug is damaged, or if liquid has been spilled onto, or objects have fallen into
the apparatus. Also if the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, or does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.

Wall Mounting
Bracket (mud ring)
The PVT CV and PVT RGB Decora models can be installed into a wall using either the
supplied mud ring or a UL approved one-gang electrical wall box, and nished with a Decora
wall plate cover (supplied).
The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the wall plate size
requirements.
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the
PVT input wallplates into a wall or furniture.
1. These units are not to be connected to a centralized DC power source or used beyond
their rated voltage range.
2. These units must be installed in UL listed junction boxes.
3. These units must be installed with conduit in accordance with National Electrical and
Buildong Codes
To Install into a Mud-ring
1. Using the mud ring as a guide, mark the edges and cut out the material within the
marked area.
2. Insert the mud ring into the opening, rotate the arms, and secure with the supplied
screws.
3. Run the CAT 5 cables from the PoleVault switcher location, going behind the wall and to
the PVT location, then thread the cables through the mud ring.
NOTE: Two cables (A and B) are needed for RGB signals.
One cable is used with CV models.
Figure 7. Installing the mud ring
4. Connect the switcher cables to the rear of the PVT wall plate. See “Rear Panel
Features”, page 11, for connector wiring details.
5. Connect input devices (see “Front Panel Features”, page 9, for connector details),
restore the power supply, and test the wall plate. Make any cabling adjustments before
final installation, as the cables will be inaccessible afterwards.
PVT Series • Installation 6
To Install into a Wall Box
Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for
both the wall box and the cables. The box should be at least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) deep
to accommodate the connectors and cables. Install the cables into the wall, furniture, or
conduits before installing the wall plate.
Follow the steps below
1. Feed cables for the output devices through the opening and through the wall box
punch-out holes, securing them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.
2. Trim back and/or insulate exposed cable shields with heat shrink to reduce the chance of
short circuits.
To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point where the
cable exits the cable clamp.
Both braided and foil shields should be connected to an equipment ground at the other
end of the cable.
3. Connect the PoleVault switcher cables to the rear of the PVT wall plate. See “Rear
Panel Features” on page 11 for connector wiring details.
4. Connect input devices (see “Front Panel Features” on page 9 for connector details),
restore the power supply, and test the wall plate. Make any cabling adjustments before
final installation, as the cables are inaccessible afterwards.
Installing the PVT CV and PVT RGB AAP models
The PVT CV AAP and PVT RGB AAP must be attached to a device faceplate or AAP wall plate
and cabled before the device or wall plate is tested and installed in a wall or furniture.
1. Before attaching any cables, insert the AAP standoffs through the holes in the faceplate
or AAP wall plate.
2. Using the supplied #4-40 nuts and captive washers, secure the AAP to the faceplate or
wall plate.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to mount any other AAPs. Cover any openings in the faceplate
with blank plates (provided with the AAP faceplate).
4. Be sure to include the AAP connectors as part of the installation pretest before nal
installation of the faceplate.
PVT Series • Installation 7
5. For more detailed installation information, refer to the installation guide shipped with
the device.
NOTE: The PVT input wall plate should be cabled and tested before it is nally
installed into the wall or device face plate. The rear panel connections will
be inaccessible after installation. See Rear Panel - Features on page 11.
6. After testing and making any adjustments, turn off the power supply to the PoleVault
switcher, and carefully secure the faceplate on the wall box device.
7. Reconnect the cables and turn on the power supply to the switcher. This powers up the
AAP plates.

The factory EDID setting (default) is 1024x768@60 Hz (preset 2).
The EDID Minder has two modes; a Preset (Emulation) mode and a Learn mode.
• Preset Mode is available on all PVT RGB (EDID) models, and allows selection of
pre-programed EDID rates, as shown in the table below.
• Learn Mode is available only on the PVT RGB D Plus model, and enables the displays

To use the EDID Minder mode in Preset or Learn Mode, follow the instructions below
1. If already installed, disconnect any sources and displays from the
front panel and remove the wallplate from the wall.
2. On the rear panel, set DIP switch 1 to 50 or 60 kHz as desired.
