Installation and Operation 2. Connect Transmitter to the video signal source Connect the video output of the source device to the appropriate input of the transmitter using the relevant cable. Although there are multiple connector types, only one feed of video may be routed by the product at any one time, the multitude of connectors are to simplify installations.
Installation and Operation 3. Connecting Audio, Infra-red and RS232 to the transmitter Connect the audio output of the source device to the ‘audio in’ mini jack connectors on the SLX-TX111, using an interface cable if appropriate. If using RS232 connect control cable to the minijack input as shown in the diagram below.

Installation and Operation of Receiver 9. Mounting the Receiver The receiver unit can compensate for cable losses over a length of 20-100m, and for mounting purposes the unit is provided with two ’mounting-hole’ points for fixing to the wall or screen (See diagram below). Simply hold receiver in place, mark position of holes and set screws in these locations.
Troubleshooting No video? Are the green LEDs on both the transmitter and receiver units? If not check that the 24V power supply (PSU) is connected and the LED on the PSU is lit. Check the cable compensation dials on the underside of the unit. Over compensation of the Red and Blue channels can cause the display to misinterpret the sync pulses and not display an image.
