CAT5E or higher is recommended for use with the Atlona AT-PROHD88M-SR. If cables are run in the walls
make sure to stay away from light fixtures, electrical boxes, fluorescent lights, and any or other electrical
cables to reduce and prevent signal degradation. T568B termination needs to be used for this device.
If the unit is not powering on double check the surge protector/ outlet that is connected to. A Volt Meter can
also be used to check the unit and the power supply needs to be outputting 12 volts.
The IR RX (Receiver) should be placed in a visible location for the remote to pick up the signal.
1. SETTING UP CAT5E/6/7
2. NO POWER ON THE SWITCH
When installing IR’s, the IR TX (Transmitter) is used on Sources. The eye should be placed over the Source
IR eye on most applications. If their signal issues for example, device is not switching, there is lag, the IR is
being over flooded. Place the IR TX to the side of the IR eye or up or down to fix the issue. NOTE: the IR
on the switch is 36 kilohertz if your source (DVD, blu-ray , cable box is higher the signal will not pass )
The image flickers, goes in and out, or there is snow like affect, there are multiple reasons for this issues.
Check all the connections HDMI and CAT5E/CAT6 and make sure they are fully connected and are not
loose. Check to see the CAT5E/CAT6/CAT7 terminations are fully crimped. CAT5E/CAT6/CAT7 is pick-
ing interference from other cables in the wall. Shielded cables are recommended to be run the in the walls.
CAT5E/CAT6/CAT7 wall plates or CAT5 terminal blocks should not be used as they can also cause inter-
ference in the signal; it needs to be connected with cables direct. The CAT5E/CAT6/CAT7 cables should
not exceed the distance they are meant to be run at. If distance exceeds or at maximum distance by setting
the dip switches to OFF ON ON OFF the switch limits the bandwidth and divides it equally among all
channels. It is important to use T568B termination on the CAT5E/CAT6/CAT7 cables.
