Installation
Caution:
To install an AVO-V1A2 balun, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the video equipment by following the manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Make certain that outlets and cross connects to which you will connect the AVO-
V1A2 are configured properly and labeled appropriately to identify the circuit.
Caution:
3. Verify the desired twisted pairs are not being used for other LAN or telephony
equipment.
4. Connect the RCA inputs from the source equipment to one of the two baluns. Two
AVO-V1A2s are needed—one at each end of the run—and are interchangeable.
Caution:
5. Connect a 4-pair Cat 5 cable from the RJ45 8-position modular jack of the AVO-
V1A2 to a structured cable, such as Cat 5.
6. Connect the second balun's RCA inputs to the destination equipment.
7. Connect the 4-pair Cat 5 cable from the RJ45 8-position modular jack of another
AVO-V1A2 to the structured cable attached to the first balun.
8. Power on the source and destination equipment and test for correct operation.

The AVO-V1A2 balun transmits composite baseband
video and audio signals via unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cable, such as Cat 5. It is connected to the
structured cabling via a modular wall jack in the work
area. It is equipped with a BNC 75 ohm connector
and two standard RCA phono jacks at one end, as
well as an RJ45 jack at the other end.
Applications include: security/surveillance
monitoring, video bulletin boards, financial
information services, news services, education, video
Do not attempt to open the balun housing. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the AVO-V1A2. Opening the unit will void your warranty.
Do not connect the AVO-V1A2 to a telecommunication outlet wired to
unrelated equipment. Making such a connection may damage the equipment
and/or balun. Please ensure all wiring is "straight-through."
Do not mount the balun over equipment ventilation openings. Covering the
openings may cause the equipment to overheat.
