Grounding the transmitter

RGB and computer video transmitters may need to be grounded to ensure that the

video and audio signals are not degraded. The TP T 15HD A and TP T 15HD AV

may require grounding if all of the following conditions exist:

The signal source is a laptop computer.

No local monitor is connected.

A local power supply is not being used.

Grounding may also be required if there is no common ground in the power

distribution system.
Indications that grounding may be required include:

The receiver’s Power LED is lit amber when a connection is made to the

transmitter.

The receiver is in auto mode and its Manual/Auto LED flashes.

The receiver is in manual mode and an image appears only when the

Peaking adjustment is at the minimum level. Additionally, the image

may be overpeaked with horizontal streaking to the right of the displayed

information.

No audio, or distorted and noisy audio, is heard.

Ground the transmitter using any of the following methods:

Connect a local 15 V power supply to the transmitter.

Use STP rather than UTP cable and connectors.

Use a 3.5 mm captive screw connector to

connect a ground wire between the power

return pin and a grounding point near the

transmitter, such as a grounded power outlet

or an equipment rack. (See the illustration at

right.) Use this method if you are not using

local power.
