Basic Wiring Diagram

Wiring and Connections

WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in its entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.

IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines

• The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best results.
• WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI cables due to the complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the performance of the product.

Pin 1	TX (Transmit) ---> To ---> RX (Receive)
Pin 2	RX (Receive) ---> To ---> TX (Transmit)
Pin 3	G (Ground) ---> To ---> G (Ground)

Relay Wiring

The relays on this product can be used to be trigger devices such as projector screens that are Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC).

Pin 1	NO (Normally Open)	--> To -->	NO (Normally Open)
Pin 2	Common (Ground)	--> To -->	Common (Ground)
Pin 3	NC (Normally Closed)	--> To -->	NC (Normally Closed)

Troubleshooting

No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)

• Verify that the output resolution of the source and display is supported by this product.
• If transmitting 3D or 4K, verify that the HDMI cables used are 3D or 4K rated.
• Verify that all source and display connections are not loose and are functioning properly.

No or Intermittent 3rd party Device Control

- Verify that the RS-232 cables are properly terminated. Refer to RS-232 Guidelines and/or Relay Wiring sections for pinout information.
