Installation
Important! Before starting the installation, please ensure that all devices are powered off.
The following steps are for an installation using HDMI equipment, if you are using DVI
equipment you should substitute the HDMI cables for DVI to HDMI cables where required.
1. Connect your HDMI source to the Fibre Optic Transmitter device using a HDMI cable
(maximum length 5m).
2. Remove the dust covers from the Fibre Optic Transmitter and Receiver ports and your Fibre
Cable.
3. Connect one end of the duplex fibre cable to the optical port on the Transmitter and the
other end to the optical port of the Receiver. This must be set up as 1:1 connection and NOT
as a cross over connection as provided by some Duplex Cables with pre-installed clamp on
the Duplex connector. If you have such a cross over cable please exchange the connectors
with each other on one end. Please ensure that the connectors are fully engaged before
proceeding.
4. Use another HDMI cable (maximum length 5m) to connect your HDMI display/projector/sink
device to the HDMI port on the Receiver.
5. Plug the DC power supplies into the HDMI transmitter and receiver, respectively.
6. Power on your HDMI Source and Display to complete the installation.
As well as extending a HDMI signal the Fibre Optic Extender can also repeat IR remote
commands/signals, with the use of the optional IR Repeater Kit (LINDY Number 38006), allowing
you to control your HDMI source whilst up to 3000m away. Simply connect the IR Repeater
Transmitter and Receiver to the relevant ports on the Fibre Optic Transmitter and Receiver. This
functionality is provided in addition to HDMI CEC also supported by this extender.
Troubleshooting
There is no display on the screen.
Check that the DC plugs and jacks used by external power supplies (both the extender units
and others) are firmly connected.
Check that the Fibre Connectors are plugged in correctly and that the Link Status LED is lit.
If it is not lit check if your cable uses a cross over configuration and change it to 1:1.
Check that the HDMI source and display are both powered on and active
Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the transmitter and receiver
modules, then the display and finally the source.
Make sure you have not mixed up the Duplex fibres with each other at one end.
Reduce the length of HDMI cable used, or use a higher quality cable.
