2 WP-110, PT-120, TP-120 - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

• Review the contents of this user manual

• Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date
user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware
upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

• Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration

in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

• Position your Kramer WP-110, PT-120 or TP-120 away from moisture,

excessive sunlight and dust

Caution: No operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall

adapter that is provided with the unit

Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing

3.5

3.1 WP-110 XGA Line Transmitter

The Kramer Wall Plate WP-110 is an XGA line transmitter that receives an XGA

signal and transmits it over a CAT 5 cable to the PT-120 or TP-120 receiver. The

WP-110 is available in three versions: one for USA, one for Belgium and Germany,

and one for UK and most of Europe (excluding Belgium and Germany). In

particular, the WP-110:

• Has a resolution of up to UXGA

• Can use the simplest UTP CAT 5 cables, however, it benefits from better

quality cables

• Has the power connect feature and is 12V DC fed

3.2 PT-120 XGA Line Receiver

The Kramer Pico TOOLS PT-120 is an XGA line receiver that receives a coded

CAT 5 signal transmitted by the WP-110, decodes it and converts it to an XGA

output. In particular, the PT-120:

• Has an operating range of more than 300ft (more than 100m) using standard

CAT 5 cable and the WP-110

• Includes EQ. and level controls

• Has the power connect feature and is 12V DC fed

4 WP-110, PT-120, TP-120 - Overview

3.3 TP-120 XGA Line Receiver

The Kramer TOOLS TP-120 is an XGA line receiver that receives a coded CAT 5

signal transmitted by the WP-110, decodes it and converts it to an XGA output. In

particular, the TP-120:

• Has an operating range of more than 300ft (more than 100m) using standard

CAT 5 cable and the WP-110

• Includes EQ. and level controls

• Has the power connect feature and is 12V DC fed

3.4 About the Power Connect™ Feature

The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. This

feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not exceed 50m

(164ft) on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should

be used (TP cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for

feeding the power at these distances). For units which are connected via RJ-45

connectors, make sure that the shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal

casing of the connectors on both ends of the cable. For units which are connected

via terminal block connectors, the shield of the STP cable must be connected to a

ground terminal on the units at both ends (use the ground terminal of the power

supply connection if necessary).

For a TP cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies should be

connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.

3.5 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP)

We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, and stress that

the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using STP cable. There

are different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best

quality STP cable that you can afford.

Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer BC-STP

is intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue.

WP-110, PT-120, TP-120 - Overview 5

In cases where there is skewing, our Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) skew-free

cable, Kramer BC-XTP, may be advantageous, and UTP cable might also be

preferable for long range applications. In any event when using UTP cable, it is

advisable to ensure that the cable is installed far away from electric cables, motors

and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.

You can use the WP-110 XGA Line Transmitter and the TP-120 XGA Line Receiver to

configure an XGA-to-twisted pair transmitter and receiver system.

5.1 Installing the WP-110 XGA Line Transmitter

To install your WP-110 XGA Line Transmitter:

1. Connect the LINE OUT RJ-45 connector to the pre-installed UTP wiring in the

wall box opening that connects via UTP cabling to the LINE IN RJ-45 connector

of the PT-120 or TP-120.

2. Connect your 12V DC power supply to the POWER SUPPLY pins, taking

care that polarity is correct.

Connect the wire labeled “+” to the +12V pin, and the wire labeled “–” to the GND pin.

3. Insert the WP-110 directly into the wall box opening, and then mount the

front panel securely using the screws.

4. Connect the XGA source to the XGA IN 15-pin HD (F) connector.

5.2 Connecting the WP-110 to the TP-120

To connect the WP-110 XGA Line Transmitter to the TP-120 XGA Line Receiver,

as the example in Figure 4

illustrates, do the following:

1. On the WP-110, connect the XGA source (for example, the 15-pin HD output

from a computer’s graphics card) to the XGA INPUT 15-pin HD (F)

connector.

2. On the TP-120, connect the XGA OUT 15-pin HD (F) connector to the XGA

acceptor (for example, a monitor).

3. Connect the LINE OUTPUT RJ-45 connector on the WP-110 to the LINE IN

RJ-45 connector on the TP-120, via UTP cabling (with a range of more than

300ft (>100m)).

4. On both the WP-110 and the TP-120, connect the 12V DC power adapter to

the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.

The signal from the XGA source is transmitted via CAT 5 cable, decoded

10 WP-110, PT-120, TP-120 - Using the XGA Line Transmitter(s)/Receiver

and converted at the XGA OUT 15-pin HD (F) connector to the XGA

acceptor.

For details of the power connect feature see Section 3.4.

5. On the TP-120, using a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjust the

output signal level and/or cable compensation equalization level, if required.

6. If necessary, set the H SYNC and V SYNC switches, on the underside of the

WP-110.

By default, both switches are set for normal H SYNC and V SYNC polarity.
