3.3 Passaggi di installazione:
- Prepare CAT Cable: Use a high-quality CAT-5e, CAT-6a, or CAT-7 UTP/STP cable. Ensure the cable is properly terminated following the IEEE-568B standard. The quality of the CAT cable directly impacts transmission distance and stability.
- Connect HDMI Source to Transmitter (TX): Connect an HDMI cable from your video source (e.g., Blu-ray player, media streamer, PC) to the HDMI IN port on the AC-EX70-UHD-T Transmitter unit.
- Connect HDBaseT Link: Connect one end of the prepared CAT cable to the USCITA HDBaseT port on the Transmitter and the other end to the INGRESSO HDBaseT port on the AC-EX70-UHD-R2 Receiver unit.
- Connect HDMI Display to Receiver (RX): Collegare un cavo HDMI dal Uscita HDMI port on the Receiver unit to your display device (e.g., TV, projector, monitor).
- Collegare l'alimentazione: Connect the included 48V power supply to either the Transmitter or the Receiver unit. Due to Bi-Directional Power (PoH) capability, only one power supply connection is required for the entire system to function.
- (Facoltativo) Controllo IR:
- To control the source from the display location: Connect the IR Rx unit to the INFRAROSSO port on the Receiver. Connect the IR Tx unit to the Uscita IR port on the Transmitter and place its emitter eye over the IR sensor of your source device.
- To control the display from the source location: Connect the IR Rx unit to the INFRAROSSO port on the Transmitter. Connect the IR Tx unit to the Uscita IR port on the Receiver and place its emitter eye over the IR sensor of your display device.
- (Optional) RS-232 Control: Connect the appropriate 3.5mm to DB9 RS-232 cable to the Tipo RS-232 port on either the Transmitter or Receiver, and then to your control system or PC for serial communication.
- Unità sicure: Use the provided mounting ears to secure the Transmitter and Receiver units in their desired locations, if necessary.
4. Istruzioni per l'uso
Once all connections are made and power is supplied, the AC-EX70-UHD-KIT will begin operation automatically.
4.1 Indicatori LED
Both the Transmitter and Receiver units feature LED indicators to provide status information:
- LED da 48 V: Illuminates when the unit is receiving 48V power.
- LED di stato: Indicates the operational status of the unit. A solid light typically means normal operation.
- LED di collegamento: Illuminates when a stable HDBaseT link is established between the Transmitter and Receiver.
4.2 Operation Mode Switch
Immagine: in alto view of the Transmitter and Receiver units, highlighting the 'Operation Mode' switch with 'Program' and 'Normal' settings.
Each unit has an 'Operation Mode' switch with two settings:
- Normale: This is the standard operating mode for everyday use. Ensure the switch is set to 'Normal' for regular video transmission.
- Programma: This mode is used for firmware updates or specific diagnostic purposes. Do not operate the unit in 'Program' mode during normal video transmission.
4.3 IR and RS-232 Control
The bi-directional IR and RS-232 ports allow for seamless control of connected devices. Refer to the setup section for connection details. Once connected, IR signals from a remote control or RS-232 commands from a control system will be transmitted across the HDBaseT link to control the corresponding device.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
If you encounter issues with your AC-EX70-UHD-KIT, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Nessuna uscita video:
- Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the source and display, and to the extender units.
- Verify that the CAT cable is properly terminated (IEEE-568B) and securely connected to both the Transmitter and Receiver.
- Check that the power supply is connected and the LED da 48 V on at least one unit is illuminated.
- Confermare che il LED di collegamento is illuminated, indicating a stable HDBaseT connection. If not, try a different CAT cable or shorten the cable length for testing.
- Test the HDMI source and display directly with a short HDMI cable to rule out issues with those devices.
- Ensure the 'Operation Mode' switch on both units is set to 'Normal'.
- Poor Picture Quality (Flickering, Snow, Distortion):
- This often indicates a problem with the CAT cable. Replace the CAT cable with a higher quality, shorter, or newly terminated one.
- Ensure the cable length does not exceed the maximum specified for your resolution (70m for 1080P, 40m for 4K).
- Check for strong electromagnetic interference (EMI) near the CAT cable run.
- IR or RS-232 Control Not Working:
- Verify that the IR Tx/Rx units or RS-232 cables are correctly connected to the appropriate ports on the extender units and the controlled devices.
- For IR, ensure the IR emitter eye is directly over the IR sensor of the device to be controlled.
- For RS-232, confirm the correct baud rate and other serial communication settings are configured on your control system.
- Le unità non si accendono:
- Check the power adapter connection to both the unit and the wall outlet.
- Assicurarsi che la presa di corrente sia funzionante.
- If using PoH, ensure the CAT cable is properly connected and functional, as power is transmitted over it.
