Installation Instructions v2.0

Warning: To be installed and/or used in accordance with local

electrical codes and regulations. If you are not sure about any
part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

Caution: Do not install this product in an electrical junction box
with 110V or higher unless an approved barrier separates the
high and low voltage sections.

Introduction: Thank you for your purchase of a Knoll active
balun system. This system is specifically designed to send a
stereo line level and an composite video signal safely down a cat
5 or cat 5e wire up to 1000 feet without encountering noise
problems. Balun is an acronym for:

BALance – UNbalance

The send module takes a conventional stereo line level signal
and a composite video signal and balances it (signal is not tied
to a ground reference) then sends it via cat 5 to the receive
module (with power from the send module). The receive module
unbalances the signal back to its former state. This process does
not allow any stray magnetism of any sort to contaminate the
signal while it is being transported.

Features:

• Tabletop box design or Decora™ style available.

• Safely sends stereo and video up to 1000’ (300 m).

• Six output hub available.

• PS1202 power supply required on send or receive only.

• Mix and match tabletop and decora style.

Wiring: A send
module (UB-Send or
UTP-Send) needs to
be connected to a
Knoll receive module
(UB-Receive or UTP­Receive) to work
correctly. The send
and receive module
are connected using a single cat 5 wire using all 8 conductors.
Connection is made with the RJ45 connector (RJ45 plug not supplied).
Always use standard cat 5 wiring practices. Using the correct wire pairs
and polarity is VERY important.

Connection to Stereo Video Equipment: Connect the UB-Send or
UTP-Send gold RCA jacks to the appropriate outputs on your TV, VCR,
stereo or other equipment. If your system audio is mono, connect the
left connector only.
When connecting a video output to a TV and the UB-Send or UTP-Send
with a Y-cord, the video signal may exhibit poor picture quality.
If this is the case, on the UTP-Send move the shunt next to the
right (gold) connector from “75” position to the “Lp” or loop
position (see figure below). The UB-Send has a switch on it.
Normally it is in the in position.

Make sure a good quality RJ45 8-8 crimper is used to
connect the RJ45 connector to the cat 5 wire. Poor crimping
and mismatched wires are the most frequent cause of
installation problems.

Connection to the amplifier, TV or other components: Connect
the two gold RCA jacks on the UB-Receive or the UTP-Receive with a
good quality gold connector RCA jumper cable to the appropriate
stereo input jacks on your amplifier, receiver, TV or other component.
Make sure the correct stereo input is selected. Connect the gold video
jack (yellow center) with a good quality video RCA jumper to the video
input on the TV or other unit.

Multiple Connection(s): If the stereo/video signal needs to be sent to
more than one receiver, this can easily be accomplished by paralleling
or Y cording the composite and video inputs to the send unit.
Depending on the source components output, it should be acceptable
to Y cord up to ten send baluns. Each Knoll composite/stereo send
balun is connected to one stereo receive balun. Each stereo send unit

requires a PS1202 power supply. The video needs to have its
impedance corrected. On ALL BUT ONE UB-Send the switch needs to be
in the out position. (One switch has to be IN and the rest are out.) On
UTP-Sends the jumper near the right RCA connector on ALL BUT ONE
unit move the shunt from the 75 side to the loop side.

A six outlet hub model UTP-Hub is available for this system.

Power Requirements: The whole UB or UTP system requires a single
power supply. If you are using a UTP-Hub, the hub always supplies the
power for the UB-Send or UTP-Send, so do not connect another
power supply. If you are using a UB-Receive or UTP-Receive with this
send, connect only one 12-15 VDC power supply on either the UTP­Send OR the UTP-Receive but not both.

The Knoll send receive system does not have any user adjustments and
is completely automatic. If need be, please call our tech line for details
at 1 800 566 5579.
