Connection Details
For connectors that require additional wiring details or recommendations, see the following sections pertaining to the type or connection.
TP Cable Recommendations for DTP Communication
Use the following configuration for twisted pair cables used for DTP communication.

Figure 4. RJ-45 Pin Assignment for DTP Communication
Supported cables
The DTP3 T 203 is compatible with shielded twisted pair (STP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable. However, Extron strongly recommends that you use STP cable to achieve best performance.
ATTENTION:
Cable recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) and reduce transmission errors.
- Use Extron XTP DTP22 STP cable for the best performance.
- At a minimum, Extron recommends 22 AWG, solid conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 500 MHz.
- Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA T 568 B standard.
- Use no more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points, punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points are required, use shielded couplers and punch down connectors.
NOTE:
When using shielded twisted pair cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:
- Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.
- Do not comb the cable for the first 20 meters, where cables are straightened, aligned, and secured in tight bundles.
- Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook-and-loop fasteners.
- Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
TP Cable Recommendations for Ethernet Communication
It is vital that your Ethernet cable be the correct cable type and that it be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 330 feet (100 meters).
The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (see figure 5) and must be properly terminated for the application:
- Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of the device to an Ethernet hub, router, or switch that also hosts a controlling computer.
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the switcher and a controlling computer.

T568B T568A T568B T568B
A cable that is wired as TIA/EIA T568A at one end and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable wired the same at both ends is called a "straight-through" cable because no pin/pair assignments are swapped.
Figure 5. RJ-45 Pin Assignment for Ethernet Communication
Over TP and Remote RS-232 Control Wiring
Use a female 9-pin D connector to bare wire RS-232 cable or a universal control cable (UC50' or UC100') to connect your computer or control system to the OVER TP or REMOTE port (see figure 6 to wire this 3-pole connector).

Figure 6. Remote RS-232 Wiring
-
Wire the unterminated end of the RS-232 cable to the three pins of the 3-pole captive screw connector as described below. Connect the transmit, receive, and ground wires of the cable to the three pins on the connector, starting at the left:
-
Connect the transmit wire to pin 1 which plugs into the Rx (receiver) port.
- Connect the receive wire to pin 2 which plugs into the Tx (transmit) port.
-
Connect the ground wire to pin 3 which plugs into the G (ground) port.
-
Plug the 3-pole connector into the OVER TP or REMOTE port on the rear panel of the device.
-
Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate computer or control system port.
Contact Closure Wiring
Connect a push-button contact closure device to the CONTACT port (see figure 2, ① on page 5) to enable input switching via contact closure.
- Wire and plug one of the provided 4-pole connectors into the Contact port (see the image on the right) representing the desired input number on the DTP3 T 203.

Tally Wiring
To identify the currently selected input when the front panel buttons are not visible, connect a device such as an LED to the TALLY port (see figure 2, 1). When the input you are using is selected, the corresponding tally pin shorts to the ground and activates the connected indicator.
Wire and plug one of the provided 4-pole connectors into the Tally port (see the image on the right).
• Pin 1 = Tally output 1
• Pin 3 = Tally output 3
• Pin 2 = Tally output 2
• +V = +5VDC
TALLY

Show me cables
The CONTACT and TALLY ports can also be used with Extron Show Me (SM) cables. The cables feature a share button for remote input source selection and a control pigtail, which can be wired directly into Extron switchers with contact closure and tally outputs.
To wire the SM cables:
- Connect the input end of the SM cable to the source device.
- Connect the output end to the switcher.
- Connect the black (Tally) and red (Contact) pigtail wires (see the image on the right). The number under the CONTACT and TALLY pins corresponds to that particular video input on the switcher.
NOTE: The ground or drain wire on the cable does not need to be wired to the switcher. The wire can be tied back and shielded.

Locklt Lacing Bracket Installation
HDMI signals run at a very high frequency and are especially prone to errors caused by bad video connections, too many adapters, or excessive cable length. To avoid the loss of an image or jitter, follow these guidelines:
- Limit or avoid the use of adapters.
- Use only cables specifically intended for HDMI or DVI signals.
To securely fasten an HDMI cable to a device:
- Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (see figure 7, ①).

Figure 7. LockIt Lacing Bracket
-
Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (②). The screw does not have to be removed.
-
Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then tighten the screw to secure the bracket (③).
ATTENTION:
- Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield to which it fastens is very thin and can easily be stripped.
-
Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.
-
Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing bracket (④).
- While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or similar tools to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length (⑤).

Figure 8. DTP3 T 203 Front Panel
Power LED — Lights green when the unit is receiving power and operational.
B Reset button — This recessed button initiates three levels of reset on the DTP3 T 203. To initiate the different reset levels, use a pointed object such as a small Phillips screwdriver or stylus to press and hold the button while the switcher is running or while it is being powered up (see Resetting on page 15 for details).
NOTE: The switcher can also be reset to its factory default settings using SIS commands (see Resets on page 40) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File).
Auto Switch LED — Lights green when auto-input switching is enabled (see Auto-input Switching on page 13 for procedure to set up automatic input selection).
Configuration port — Connect a USB-C cable to a computer to configure the device and update the firmware via PCS, SIS commands, or internal web pages. To enter SIS commands, use a secure communication utility that supports Secure Shell (SSH). Enter 203.0.113.22 for the IP address where requested on port 22023. The IP address cannot be changed.
E Input selection buttons and LEDs — Press one of these buttons to select an input to switch to the output. The LED at the right of each button lights when the corresponding input is selected. If auto-input switching is in effect, these buttons are disabled, but the LEDs continue to light to indicate the selected input. If the switcher has been reset prior to powering down, the default input selected is input 1.
F Signal status LEDs
- Inputs — Each input has a corresponding numbered SIGNAL LED which lights when a source is connected to the input connector and TMDS clock activity is detected.
NOTE: If the source device connected to the selected input is HDCP encrypted (requires HDCP authentication), the corresponding signal LED may not light unless HDCP has been authenticated.
- Outputs — Lights when an active sink (output) device is connected to the HDMI output.
G HDCP status LEDs (see figure 8 on page 11)
- Inputs — Each input has a corresponding numbered HDCP LED. If the connected source requires HDCP, the corresponding LED lights when authentication is successful.
NOTE: HDCP is authenticated on each input regardless of the currently selected source.
- Outputs — Lights if the currently selected input requires HDCP and the connected output device has been successfully authenticated.
NOTE: HDCP is re-authenticated on the output whenever a new input is selected.
USB-C power delivery LED — Lights green when the unit is powering a connected USB-C source.
Operation
After the switcher and the connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, ensure all cables are routed and connected properly.
NOTE: The transmitter can be configured via PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File) and SIS commands (see SIS Configuration and Control on page 26).
Powering on the Switcher
To power on the unit:
- Connect all input and output devices to the rear panel connectors on the switcher (see Rear Panel Features on page 5 for rear panel connections).
- Power on the display.
- Power on the DTP3 T 203 unit. Plug a standard IEC power cord into the power port on the switcher rear panel. During the boot process:
a. The unit performs a self-test, during which the front AUTO SWITCH, INPUTS, SIGNAL, and HDCP LEDs each blink once in sequence from left to right.
b. The power LED blinks for approximately 45 seconds. During this time, the switcher reads the available EDID information from the connected output device and writes it to memory on each input. When power is removed, these settings remain in the memory and are in effect when power is reapplied.
c. At the end of the boot process, the power LED turns off, and the LED for the most recently input lights.
- Power on the input devices.
Selecting an Input
To switch (tie) an input to the output, you have the following options:
- Front panel buttons — Press the desired input button on the front panel (ensure auto-input switching is not enabled). The LED corresponding to the selected input button lights.
- The appropriate front panel input LED lights to indicate the selected input. The LED remains lit until a new input is selected.
- Only one input can be switched to the output at a time.
NOTE: Buttons are disabled in auto-switch mode, but LEDs still indicate the selected input.
- Contact closure — Plug one of the provided 4-pole captive screw connectors into the rear panel CONTACT port. If a push-button contact closure device is attached to a CONTACT port, press the button that is connected to the slot that corresponds to the desired input (see Contact Closure Wiring on page 9 for more information).
NOTE: If an input pin is latched permanently to the ground pin, input switching by any other method is disabled while those pins are connected.
- Remote control — Inputs can be selected using Extron SIS commands (see Input Selection on page 35) and PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File).
Auto-input Switching
Auto-input switching allows the DTP3 T 203 to automatically select the active, connected input based on the detection of an active video signal (TMDS clock activity).
When auto-input switching is enabled, the green AUTO SWITCH LED on the front panel lights and input selection (front panel input buttons, SIS commands, and contact tally) are disabled.
Auto-input switch modes
The DTP3 T 203 switchers provide three auto-switch modes, which can be selected via SIS commands (see Auto-Switch Mode on page 36) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File):
Disabled (Mode 0)
- Auto-switch disabled (default). Inputs must be manually selected.
User-defined priority (Mode 1)
- Default priority is to select the highest active input (High to Low) in the following order: 3, 2, 1. Using SIS commands and PCS, the order of the priority can be defined. If no priority is defined, the default priority is used.
Input-memory priority (Mode 2)
- The unit switches automatically to the most recently applied input, and retains a history of the order in which the active inputs are connected to the unit. In the event that one of those active inputs are removed, the unit reverts to the last applied input.
Mode 2 timeout — Using SIS commands or PCS, you can set the number of seconds (0 to 500) the switcher delays before switching to the most recent input. The default is 3 seconds.
Enabling and disabling auto-input switching
By default, auto-input switching is disabled. To toggle auto-switching between disabling (Mode 0) and enabling (Mode 1 or 2) auto-input switching:
-
Press and hold input button 1 on the front panel.
-
While holding down input button 1, press and release the input button 2 to toggle through all three modes.
LED indications for auto-input switch modes
The LED indication for auto-switch mode are as followed:
• No switch LED = Auto-switch Mode 0
- Input 1 LED only = Auto-switch Mode 1
- Input 1 and input 2 LED = Auto-switch Mode 2
Front Panel Lockout (Executive Mode)
Front panel lockout mode disables all front panel controls, locking out users from those functions. RS-232, USB, and LAN controls are still available while in executive mode. Putting the switcher in lock mode enhances security by protecting against inappropriate or accidental changes to settings. If a front panel button is pressed during lock mode, all front panel LEDs (except for the power LED and USB-C power LED) blink once.
NOTE: Front panel lockout can only be enabled or disabled via SIS commands (see Front Panel Lockout (Executive Mode) on page 40) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File).
EDID Minder
EDID Minder ensures that a source device connected to the switcher input continuously recognizes the EDID of a sink device, even if the sink is not physically connected.
EDID can be set to match output rate, a custom user-defined EDID, or a factory setting. A variety of EDID are available to be loaded via PCS and assigned to the inputs (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File to assign EDID).
The following table lists the available EDID slots. By default, the EDID is set to 1080p @ 60 Hz with 2-channel audio. Two slots are automatically populated by EDID from connected sink device.
| EDID Look Up Table | |||
| Slot | Slot Default EDID Details | ||
| 1 | Input 1 (store) slot 1080p @ 60 Hz_2Ch Manually populated via PCS. | ||
| 2 | Input 2 (store) slot 1080p @ 60 Hz_2Ch Manually populated via PCS. | ||
| 3 | Input 3 (store) slot 1080p @ 60 Hz_2Ch Manually populated via PCS. | ||
| 4 | Output A N/A Automatically populated w/ sink EDID from Output A. | ||
| 5 | Output B N/A Automatically populated w/ sink EDID from Output B. | ||
Input (store) slot
Each input has a dedicated store slot, which contains a default factory EDID. The EDID from these inputs can be imported to these slot, via PCS, and overwrite the default EDID.
Output slot
The two output slots are automatically populated by the EDID from the connected sink device. When HDP is detected, the EDID of the sink is automatically stored in the output slots. The output slots exist solely for the purpose of exporting to PCS.
EDID memory retention
The assigned EDID is stored to an EEPROM, which is located at the HDMI input. The stored EDID is retained until a reset is initiated, when it reverts back to the default EDID.
Hot Plug Detect (HPD)
HPD remains high on all inputs while the unit is powered on. The HPD drops low only while EDID is updated.
HDCP
Input
The HDMI and USB-C inputs negotiate and authenticate HDCP with the source device if the source requires HDCP encryption. The authentication process is repeated whenever the stored EDID is changed or updated, which is indicated by pulling HPD low.
Output
The output is pre-authenticated and encrypted, in accordance with the configured HDCP output mode using SIS commands (see Output HDCP Mode on page 34) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File).
HDCP output modes
- Follow Input (default) — Output authentication and encryption follows input status. Authentication times out after \~10 seconds.
- Always Encrypt Output — The output is always authenticated and encrypted. Authentication times out after \~10 seconds.
HDCP authorization
The HDCP Authorized setting, configurable via SIS commands (see HDCP Authorized Device on page 34) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File), is for devices such as Mac computers, iPhones, iPads, and some Windows ^® sources that always encrypt their output, if the downstream sink is HDCP compliant.
- HDCP Authorized On — The HDMI inputs indicate to the sources that they are capable of handling HDCP content.
When an encrypted or unencrypted source is connected, the video is passed through the system.
- HDCP Authorized Off — The HDMI inputs indicate to the sources that they are not capable of handling HDCP content.
When a MacBook ^® , or any of the other devices listed above, is connected, the output video is unencrypted.
When a source playing content that requires video encryption (for example, Blu-ray) is connected, the source does not output video.
HDCP notification
HDCP Notification provides an indication that encrypted content is trying to be displayed on a non-HDCP compliant sink or display device. HDCP Notification can be set using SIS commands (see HDCP Notification on page 35) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File).
- HDCP Notification Enabled (default) — When the input signal is encrypted and the connected display is not HDCP compliant, a green screen is displayed on the output.
- HDCP Notification Disabled — When the input signal is encrypted and the connected display is not HDCP compliant, a black screen is displayed on the output.
Resetting
The front panel RESET button (see figure 8, B on page 11) initiates three levels of resets. Use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or small screwdriver to access the recessed button.
See the Reset Modes table on page 16 for a summary of the resets.
ATTENTION:
- The switcher can also be reset to its factory default settings using SIS commands (see Resets on page 40) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File).
- The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number. In the event of a complete system reset, the passwords reverts to the default, extron. A new password would need to be configured to secure the device.
| Reset Modes | |||
| ModeA | Activation Result Purpose and Notes | ||
| Run Factory Boot Code | Hold in the recessed front panel RESET button while applying power to the unit. All front panel LEDs blink twice for confirmation upon power up. | The device reverts to the factory default firmware for a single power cycle. | Use this mode to revert to the factory default firmware for a single power cycle if incompatibility issues arise with user-loaded firmware.

Then, release and press the RESET button again within 1 second*. | Performs a complete reset to factory defaults (except the firmware).Does everything the Reset Network Settings mode does.Clears port configurations.Resets all IP options.Clears all user settings Presets all passwords.Clears all files from the unit. | Use this mode to start over with default configuration and uploading, and also to replace events.Equivalent to SIS command ZQQQ (see Resets). |
| NOTES:*For these modes, nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second.The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number. In the event of a complete system reset, the passwords reverts to the default, extron (see Passwords on page 46 to change a password). | |||
TMDS Output Format
The TMDS output format has three components:
• Video format — either DVI or HDMI
• Color space — RGB 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, or YUV 4:4:4
• Quantization range — either Full (0-255) or Limited (16-235)
By default, the output format is automatically configured for Auto, which forces RGB 4:4:4 Full, with the video format dependent on the source signal and sink capabilities.
Alternatively, the TMDS output format can be forced using SIS commands (see Output TMDS Format on page 35) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File).
5V Output Modes
There are two modes for the 5V output:
- Always enabled (default) — The 5V pin is always active, regardless of input signal status. This is necessary to detect hot-plug assertion for reading EDID from a connected sink.
- Auto — The 5V output is only active when a source is connected to the input. If no source is connected, the 5V output will be disabled. This configuration is necessary for some sinks to enter sleep mode.
This can be changed via SIS commands (see 5V Output Mode on page 35) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File).
Video Mute
There are three options for video mute:
• Output Mute Off (default) — The video input and audio signals are passed to the output.
- Output Mute On — The video output is muted (black) and 5V is on. If present, the embedded audio is still passed to the sink device.
- Output Sync Mute On — The video output and 5V are off. The embedded audio is not passed to the sink device. This allows the display to sleep.
This applies to the HDMI and DTP/HDBT outputs and can be changed via SIS command (see Video Mute on page 35) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File).
NOTE: Video mute reverts to default (disabled) after a power cycle.
Audio Mute
The audio outputs can be muted individually or globally via SIS commands (see Audio Mute on page 37) or PCS (see the DTP3 T 203 Help File).
NOTE: Audio mute reverts to default (disabled) after a power cycle.

- 1 stop bit
- no flow control
Front Panel Configuration USB Port
The front panel USB-C Configuration port (see figure 8, D on page 11) can be connected to a host computer for configuration using SIS commands via SecureShell (SSH) client and IP address 203.0.113.22 on port 22023. To connect the switcher to a host computer, download the USB driver, follow the on-screen instructions, and configure the switcher as required.
Ethernet (LAN) Port
The rear panel Ethernet connector (see figure 2, Ⓙ) can be connected to an Ethernet LAN. Communications between the switcher and the controlling device is via Telnet, using port 23. The Telnet port can be changed, if necessary, via SIS using Dataviewer, or other port configuration application. This connection makes SIS control of the unit possible using a computer connected to the same LAN (see TP Cable Recommendations for Ethernet Communication on page 8 to wire the LAN connector).
Default IP address
To access the DTP3 T 203 switcher via the LAN port, the IP address, subnet mask, and the gateway address for the devices are needed. If the address have not been changed, the factory-specified defaults are:
- DHCP Off
• IP address 192.168.254.254
• Gateway address 0.0.0.0 - Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Establishing a Connection
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (see TP Cable Recommendations for Ethernet Communication on page 8).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the device.
- Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the device to an Ethernet LAN.
To establish a network connection to the device:
- Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the device IP address.
NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory-specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.
- The device responds with a copyright message including the name of the product, firmware version, part number, and the current date and time.
- Enter the appropriate administrator or user password.
a. If the password is accepted, the device responds with Login User or Login Administrator.
b. If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.
NOTE: The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number. In the event of a complete system reset, the passwords revert to the default, extron.
Connection Timeouts
The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time with no communication. By default, this timeout value is 5 minutes, but the value can be changed.
NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are long idle periods, disconnect the socket and reopen the connection when another command must be sent.
Enabling and Disabling Telnet
By default, Telnet on port 23 is disabled.
NOTE: The symbol represents a carriage return, but pressing the
To enable Telnet communication, remap the Telnet port as follows:
- Use a SSH client (such as PuTTY) to connect to the switcher over port 22023.
- Enter the following SIS command to remap the Telnet port to 00023:
Esc Z23PMAP
NOTE: See Reset Telnet port map on page 39 for the SIS commands.
To disable Telnet communication, remap the Telnet port as follows:
- Connect to the switcher using one of the following method:
• Use a SSH client (such as PuTTY) to connect to the switcher over port 22023.
• Use a Telnet client (such as Extron DataViewer or PuTTY) to connect to the switcher over port 23.
- Enter the following SIS command to remap the Telnet port to 00000:
Esc Z0PMAP←
NOTE: See Disable Telnet port on page 39 for the SIS commands.
Verbose Mode
Telnet connections can be used to monitor for changes that occur, such as SIS commands from other Telnet sockets or serial port changes. For a Telnet session to receive change notices, the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3. In verbose mode 1 or 3, the Telnet socket reports changes in messages that resemble SIS command responses. Front panel changes are also sent to users who are in verbose mode (see Verbose Mode on page 40).
Simple Instruction Set Control
Host-to-Unit Instructions
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the transmitter executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the transmitter to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ←), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
Device-Initiated Power-Up Message
When the device completes its start-up, it issues the following message to the host:
© Copyright 2022, Extron DTP3 T 203, Vx.xx, 60-1885-52
- Vx.xx is the firmware version number.
• 60-1885-52 is the part number of the unit.
Error Responses
When the transmitter receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the transmitter is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the transmitter returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:
• E01 —Invalid input channel number (too large)
• E06 — Auto-switch, cannot select input via SIS
• E10 — Invalid command
• E13 — Invalid parameter
• E14 — Invalid for this configuration
• E17 — Invalid command for signal type
• E28 — Bad filename/File not found
Timeout
Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.
Unsolicited Responses
The unit provides unsolicited status updates for items that can change their state externally, so that the configuration software and control system does not need to poll the device. The responses for the following are initiated automatically when the state changes on the device:
- Input selection • Input HDCP status
- Input/Output Signal status
- Output HDCP status
- DTP/HDBT toggle switch status
- Send Power toggle switch status
- Auto-switch Mode 1 enable or disable (due to front panel toggle)
Using the Command and Response Table
The Command and Response Table for SIS Commands starts on page 34. Symbols are used throughout the table to represent variables in the command response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the table. The ASCII to HEX conversion table (see figure 24) is for use with the command and response table.

Equipment Mounting
This section provides procedures for mounting the DTP3 T 203.
Mounting the DTP3 T 203
ATTENTION:
The switcher can be set on a table, mounted in a rack, or mounted under a desk or table.
Tabletop Use
Four adhesive rubber feet are included with the DTP3 T 203. For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner on the bottom of the transmitter, and place it where desired.
Mounting Kits
Mount the unit using any optional compatible mounting kit listed on the Extron website (www.extron.com), in accordance with the directions included with the kit. For rack mounting, see "UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines" starting below.
UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the DTP3 T 203 into a rack.
CAUTION:
- Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by Extron.
- Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
- Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.
- Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
