3. Rack Mount Adapters. Perform these steps if you are installing this product in a 19-inch equipment rack.
a. Remove the cover screws adjacent to the front panel of each product and use them to mount Model
1192 (for Model AVX-562) or Model 1191 (for Model 1172/76) rack adapters. Be sure to place a
spacer under the adapters at every screw location – see illustration.
b. Use a straight edge to line up rack adapters on a stack of product before tightening the screws.
CAUTION! This product will be damaged
if spacers are not used on every adapter
screw.
IMPORTANT!
Do not mount adapters
without spacers
4. Setting in Place. Place the AVAtrix on its shelf or in the rack. If rack mounting, secure it to the rails with
the screws supplied with the rack adapter kits.
5. AVAtrix Hookup. Connect and test sources with the local video display in these steps.
a. Connect each source unit to its respective set of AVX-562 input jacks.
b. Use high quality cable and keep the runs under 6 feet if possible, especially for component video
connections.
c. Connect either, but NOT BOTH optical and coaxial digital audio. Connect all the other signals avail-
able from the source unit: component video and analog audio.
d. Connect a video display and audio system to the Local (Main) Output jacks. Use optical and/or
coaxial digital audio outputs. The AVAtrix does not convert digital audio to analog audio, so connect
analog audio to TV’s inputs if required.
e. Turn on the sources and AVAtrix temporarily for an initial test. Select each source to the local TV and
sound system to verify basic functions. Remove power and continue installation.
6. Cat 5 Zone Connections.
a. Pull two lengths of good quality Category 5e or Cat 6 UTP cable from
the main system to each receiver location. Shielded Cat 5 cable may
be used, but offers no performance advantage.
b. Carefully mark cables of each pair A and B; if they are connected in-
correctly, damage to the wallplate/receiver may result. It is best to use
a different cable jacket color, or label each end for A and B to ensure
proper connection.
c. Install RJ-45 plugs 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 AVAtrix, even when using pre-made cables. Continuity testing is not adequate!
The twisted pairs must be properly matched for balanced line transmission.
