Usage Precautions
 System should be installed in a clean environment and has a prop temperature and
humidity.
 All of the power switches, plugs, sockets and power cords should be insulated and
safe.
 All devices should be connected before power on.
Overview:
Installation
①If installing in a back-box, it is recommended that the4K Wallplate HDBaseT
Transmitter be installed in a 4-5/8” square box at a minimum. The 4-5/8”square
box has sufficient space to terminate the cables with jacks behind the unit when
fully installed.
②Run one twisted pair cable from the4K Wallplate HDBaseT Transmitter location to
the location where the HDBaseT Receiver will be located (somewhere nearthe
display device).See the installation instructions for the 70M HDBaseT Receiver.
③If using the Control Panel, run another twisted pair cable from the 4K Wallplate

5
Alfatron ALF-TPUH405PT-WP
HDBaseT Transmitter location to the location that the Control Panel will be
mounted.
④All twisted pair cables should be terminated with jacks. This allows the permanent
link between the two devices to be tested.
⑤Use the appropriate category rated patch cable to connect the HDBaseT link to
the HDBT OUT connector.
⑥If using the Control Panel, use the supplied adapter cable to connect with the
second cable and follow the installation instructions for the HDBaseTReceiver
and Control Panel.
Note: We recommends Category 6A cabling with alien crosstalk prevention technology
for the performance of HDBaseT link.
4. Button Control
SOURCE/AUTO Button
Press and hold the SOURCE/AUTO button for approximately 3 seconds. When the
