USER MANUAL HDI-TX-301-C-2G-E Crestron

DM Lite Multiformat Switch and Transmitter, International

DO Install the Device

Install the device in a 2-gang European or UK electrical box (not included). A minimum mounting depth of 45 mm is required.

To install the device:

1. On the rear of the device, make connections to the TO RX and Ethernet ports.

NOTES:

• For the 24 Vdc power connection, connect a power pack to either the transmitter or a compatible receiver. Do not connect a power pack to both devices simultaneously. Power is transmitted over the cable that connects the TO RX port on the transmitter to the FROM RX port on the receiver.
  A power pack is not included with the transmitter. When the transmitter is used with a DM Lite surface-mount receiver, the transmitter receives power from the power pack that ships with and connects to the receiver.
• Cabling that connects the TO RX port to the FROM TX port is designed for intrabuilding use only.
