Safety information
•	 For	use	in	dry,	 oil	free	 indoor	 environments	 only.
•	 Do	not	use	to	link	between	buildings.
•	 Not	suitable	for	use	in	hazardous	or	explosive	environments	or	next	to	highly	flammable	materials.
•	 Ensure	that	all	twisted	pair	interconnect	cables	are	installed	in	compliance	with	all	applicable	wiring	regulations.	
•	 Do	not	connect	the	CATx	link	interface	(RJ45	style	connector)	to	any	other	equipment,	particularly	network	or	telecommunications	equipment.
•	 Where	possible,	avoid	laying	the	twisted	pair	link	cable(s)	alongside	power	cables.	
•	 Warning	–	the	power	adapter	contains	live	parts.
•	 No	user	serviceable	parts	are	contained	within	the	power	adapter	-	do	not	dismantle.
•	 The	primary	means	to	cease	operation	of	the	modules	is	to	remove	the	power	adapter	lead.	Ensure	that	the	power	adapter	is	positioned	near	to	the	equipment	and	is	easily	accessible.
•	 Do	not	use	the	power	adapter	if	the	power	adapter	case	becomes	damaged,	cracked	or	broken	or	if	you	suspect	that	it	is	not	operating	properly.
•	 Replace	the	power	adapter	with	a	manufacturer	approved	type	only.	
•	 If	you	use	a	power	extension	cable	with	the	modules,	make	sure	the	total	ampere	rating	of	the	devices	plugged	into	the	extension	cable	do	not	exceed	the	cable’s	ampere	rating.	Also,	make	sure	that	the	total	ampere	rating	of	all	the	devices	plugged	into	the	wall	outlet	does	not	exceed	the	wall	outlet’s	ampere	rating.
•	 Do	not	attempt	to	service	the	modules	yourself.
•	 The	modules	and	power	supplies	can	get	warm	in	operation	–	do	not	situate	them	in	an	enclosed	space	without	any	ventilation.	
•	 The	modules	do	not	provide	ground	isolation	and	should	not	be	used	for	any	applications	that	require	ground	isolation	or	galvanic	isolation.
•	 Use	only	with	grounded	outlets	at	both	the	computer	and	monitor.	When	using	a	backup	power	supply	(UPS),	power	the	computer,	the	monitor	and	the	module	from	the	same	supply.
•	 For	correct	operation,	the	transmitter	and	receiver	modules	must	have	ground	connections.	At	the	computer	end,	this	is	achieved	by	ensuring	that	the	computer	that	the	module	is	connected	to	has	a	ground	connection.	At	the	audio/visual	device	end,	this	can	be	achieved	by	ensuring	that	the	power	supply	is	connected	to	a	grounded	power	outlet.	Alternatively,	a	ground	connection	will	be	made	via	the	monitor,	if	the	monitor	is	itself	grounded.

Connection overview
•	 For	full	explanations	of	connections,	including	cascade	connections,	please	refer	to	the	full	user	guide	available	at www.adder.com.
•	 Please	consult	the	Safety	information	on	the	rear	page	of	this	quick	start	guide.
Locations
Please	consider	the	following	important	points	when	planning	the	positions	of	your	AdderLink	AV	modules:
•	 Take	care	not	to	exceed	the	maximum	link	cable	lengths	(please	refer	to	the	section	‘Making	cascade	connections’	in	the	main	user	guide	for	a	full	explanation).	
•	 Ensure	that	the	transmitters	are	as	close	as	possible	to	the	source	PC	system	and	the	receivers	are	similarly	close	to	the	display	modules.	Use	video	connection	cables	that	are	correctly	shielded	and	are	no	longer	than	6m	in	length.	
•	 Wherever	possible,	choose	routes	for	the	CATx	twisted	pair	link	cables	that	avoid	mains	power	cables.	
•	 Remember	a	mains	power	socket	is	required	for	each	transmitter	and	receiver.
Resolutions and cable lengths
The	maximum	resolutions	achievable	are:	1600	x	1200	x	60Hz	at	200m	and	1280	x	1024	x	60Hz	at	300m.	If	you	are	using	lower	resolutions	then	it	may	be	possible	to	achieve	longer	transmission	distances	although	we	do	not	recommend	runs	longer	than	300m	in	any	installation.	If	you	are	running	shorter	cables	then	it	may	be	possible	to	use	more	cascades.
