b. Connect all the signals available from the source unit: Component Video, Digital Audio and
Analog Audio. Use either, but NOT BOTH Optical and Coaxial Digital Audio.
5. Wallplate Hookup. Caution! Do not connect A and B cables incorrectly. Do not apply system
power until cables are tested and A and B connections are verifi ed.
a. Pull two lengths of good quality Category 5e or 6 UTP cable from the main system to
each Wallplate location. Carefully mark cables of each pair A and B; if they are connected
incorrectly, damage to the Wallplate may result. It is best to use a different cable jacket color,
or label each end for A and B to ensure proper connection.
b. Install an RJ-45 plug on each end, using EIA-568B pairing
(pins 1-2, 3-6, 4-5, 7-8). Check each cable with a professional
network cable tester before plugging it into the 1100 Series
system. Continuity testing is not adequate! The twisted pairs
must be properly matched for balanced line transmission.
c. Plug the pairs of cables into the output jacks on the Model
Model 1170s. Be sure to plug cables A and B into their
respective jacks A and B.
d. Plug a pair of cables into each Model 9878 Wallplate. Be sure
to plug cable A into jack A and cable B into jack B. Do not
mount the Wallplates permanently yet.
e. Adjust the Cable Length Compensation control on each Wallplate according to the distance
of that unit from the head end. Set the dial to the nearest number of hundreds of feet of cable
distance. After system power up (see 6, below) use an HD source and display to fi ne tune
each cable length compensation setting.
f. NOTE: Mount Wallplates after initial testing.
6. Initial Testing. Plug the power supply furnished with each 1100 Series product into its respective
unit, and plug the power supplies into a wall outlet or plug strip.
a. Check that the power indicators on the Model 1171, all Model 1170s and all Wallplates are
illuminated. When 1170s are present, allow up to 1 minute on initial power-up for the 1171
system to fi nish self-addressing before starting any tests. The Model 1171 power lamp blinks
slowly while addressing is taking place.
b. Apply power to the source equipment.
c. Check for clear video and audio at each Wallplate using an HD display. Mount the Wallplates.
7. Infrared Hookup. Connect and check IR system components in this step.
a. Plug an Infrared Control Receiver into the 3.5mm jack on each Wallplate that is to have
source control.
b. Infrared c Infrared Infrared ommands returned from a Wallplate to Model 1171 are repeated through the IR
Output jack on the Model 1171. Patch the IR Output jack to an input of the IR control system.
c. IR commands returned from a Wallplate to Model 1171 are only repeated through the IR
Output jack and perform no function within the switching system.
8. In Case of Diffi culty. If at any time the 1171 system fails to respond as expected, use the outline on
page 8 to fi nd the cause or narrow the possibilities.
