Installation and Setup
Site Recommendations
When placing the HDMI TX, Multi-Format TX, Wallplate TX, and HDMI RX in an installation, follow the
recommendations and precautions in this section to reduce potential setup and operation hazards.
Environment
 Choose a clean, dust free, (preferably) air-conditioned location.
 Avoid areas with direct sunlight, heat sources, or high levels of EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference).
HDMI TX, HDMI RX, and Multi-Format TX Accessibility
Make sure the front of each module is accessible, so that you can monitor the LED indicators. Leaving
adequate clearance at the rear will also allow for easier cabling and service.
Power
The power source’s electrical outlet should be installed near the module, easily accessible, and properly
grounded. Power should come from a building branch circuit. To avoid an overload, note the power
consumption rating of all the equipment connected to the circuit breaker before applying power.
General Hazard Precautions
These recommendations address potential hazards that are common to all installations.
Important: DXLink twisted pair cable runs for DXLink equipment should only be run within a common
building.
Elevated Operating Temperature
The maximum rated ambient temperature is 104° F (40° C) for the HDMI TX, Multi-Format TX,
Wallplate TX, and HDMI RX. All equipment should be installed in an environment compatible with the
manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature. In a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient room temperature.
Caution: To protect the equipment from overheating, do not operate in an area that exceeds
104° F (40° C) and follow the clearance recommendation below for adequate airflow.
Airflow Restriction
The modules are designed to adequately dissipate the heat they produce under normal operating
conditions; however, this design is defeated when high heat producing equipment is placed directly above
or below the modules.
Caution: To prevent overheating, avoid placing high heat producing equipment directly above or
below the modules. We recommend allowing plenty of clearance above the vent holes on top of the
modules. Do not place anything directly on top of the modules that would restrict airflow through the
vent holes on top.
Reliable Earthing (Grounding)
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. If not using a direct connection
to the branch circuit (e.g., plugging into a power strip), pay particular attention to supply connections (not
applicable when power is supplied from an Enova DGX 16/32 or Enova DVX Solution via a DXLink line).
