Regulatory information EMC directive 2004/108/IEC This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a\ class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in the European standard \ EN55022. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference. \ This equipment gener- ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed a\ nd used in accordance with the instructions may cause harmful interference to radio or televis\ ion reception. However, there is no guarantee that harmful interference will not occur in a part\ icular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, whic\ h can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to correct the \ interference with one or more of the following measures: (a) Reorient or relocate the receiv\ ing antenna. (b) Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. (c) Connect the\ equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. (d\ ) Consult the supplier or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC compliance statement (United States) This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy an\ d if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’\ s instructions, may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to co\ mply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Su\ bpart J of part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such \ interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equ\ ipment in a residential area may cause interference, in which case the user at his own expense w\ ill be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference. Changes \ or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authorit\ y to operate the equipment. What you may additionally need PSU-LPV-KIT External power adapter and USB adapter cable. This power kit is only required if the host computer or other device with a USB port cannot provide sufficient power. Safety information • For use in dry, oil free indoor environments. • Ensure that the twisted pair interconnect cable is installed in compliance with all ap- plicable wiring regulations. • Do not connect the interconnect cable to any other equipment, particularly network or telecommunications equipment. • Do not attempt to service the units yourself.

Green LED: Flashes to show unit is operating. Yellow LED: Flashes when the remote unit is being checked. On when the remote unit has been verified and power applied to it. Connecting your AdderLink DV120 Local unit 1 Connect the plugs to the DVI-D video output socket and a vacant USB port on the computer. Note: The USB connection provides only power for the units. 2 Attach one end of the link cable to the socket at the end of the local unit. Remote unit 1 Connect the video plug to the DVI-D socket on the display screen. 2 Attach the other end of the link cable to the socket at the end of the remote unit. IMPORTANT: • Use only screened (FTP) cable (CAT6 or better) to connect the two units. • Do not connect the local unit, via the CATx cable, to anything other than the remote unit. Video and USB connections to the host computer. Video connection to the display screen. Power control IMPORTANT: Do not connect the local unit, via the CATx cable, to anythin\ g other than the remote unit. Low voltage power for the remote unit is fed via the same link cable as \ is used for the video. The local unit always performs a check before applying power along the l\ ink cable. The local unit will disable the power if: • The cable is disconnected, or • Line power is overloaded. Green LED: Flashes to show the unit is operating. Yellow LED: Flashes if HDCP encoded content is present in the video feed. Cable considerations To ensure correct operation, Category 6 (or better) shielded twisted pair cable must be used to connect the local and remote units. The use of shielded cables is import\ ant to maintain com- pliance with radio frequency energy emission regulations and ensure a su\ itably high level of immunity to electromagnetic disturbances. For best results, Adder recommends S/FTP CAT7 cable such as Adder part n\ umber VSCAT7-50. Patch panels or cable couplers should only be used close to the local un\ it, connected by CAT7 patch cables of no more than 2m in length. The overall cable run must be\ reduced by 5m if a coupling is used. DVI operation The AdderLink DV120 can support DVI video up to a maximum 165MHz clock rate (1920 x 1200 or 1600 x 1200 at 60Hz, 24-bit color). High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is supported if HDMI \ or DisplayPort converters are used with this product. Video display (EDID) information Extended Display Identification Data (or EDID) is an industry standa\ rd scheme which allows video displays to declare their capabilities to the computer’s video \ adapter circuitry, allowing the latter to optimize their outputs accordingly. Since the widespread adoption of the scheme, video adapters have become increasingly dependent on receiving relevant \ EDID information during start-up, before they will output anything more than a rudimentar\ y video signal. Each time that the AdderLink DV120 units are powered on, the remote unit\ attempts to read the EDID information from the connected video display. The information i\ s then transferred to the local unit and made available to the computer’s video adapter whe\ n required.
