Surge protection device
recommended
This product contains sensitive electrical compo-
nents that may be damaged by electrical spikes,
surges, electric shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use
of surge protection systems is highly recom-
mended in order to protect and extend the life of
your equipment.
Safety And
Performance Notice
The transmission distances of HDMI over UTP
cables are measured using TE CONNECTIVITY
1427071-6
EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) of cables is
recommended for optimal performance.
To minimize interference of the unshielded
twisted pairs in the CAT5e/6 cable do not run
the HDBaseT/Cat5e/6/6a cabling with or in close
parallel proximity to mains power cables.
Do not substitute or use any other power supply
other than the enclosed unit, or a ELAN approved
replacement.
Do not disassemble either the Transmitter or
Receiver units for any reason. Doing so will void
the manufacturer’s warranty.
Thank you for purchasing
this product.
For optimum performance and safety, please
read these instructions carefully before con-
necting, operating or adjusting this product.
Please keep this manual for future reference.

Terminating HDBaseT CAT cable
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the ELAN HDBaseT products is terminated using the correct RJ45 pin configuration. The
link CAT cable MUST be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-pin) CAT cable and it is advised that this is wired to the T568B wiring standard as this format is less
prone to EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
When installing CAT cables it is advised that you use the best possible CAT cable quality possible. HDMI distribution products will only work if used
with CAT5e standard cable or above. ELAN recommends using a CAT6 cable for your installations, especially when running over longer distances,
in areas of high EMI, or for 4K signal distribution.
RJ45 Wiring -
T568B
Understanding the signal status lights
The ELAN extender solutions include status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver products to show all connections are active and to
help diagnose possible problems.
Understanding the status lights:
Receiver:
• The HDMI signal link light will be off when there is no connection with a display/sink
• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display
• The HDBaseT link light will be off when there is no CAT cable/active HDBaseT connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT input
• The HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter/Matrix and Receiver
• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 output on the Transmitter/Matrix and an active
connection is achieved with the Receiver.
Transmitter:
• The Input HDMI signal link light will be off when there is no connection with a source device
• The Output HDMI signal link light will be off when there is no connection with a display/sink
• The Input HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a source device
• The Output HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display/sink
• The HDBaseT link light will be off when there is no CAT cable/active HDBaseT connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT output
• The HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter and Receiver/Matrix
• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 output on the Transmitter and an active connection is
achieved with the Receiver/Matrix.

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the
source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display, from this information the source will discover what the
best audio and video resolutions need to be outputted.
While the objective of EDID is to make connecting a digital display to a source a simple plug and play procedure, issues do arise when
multiple displays or video matrix switching is introduced because of the increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand
shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of extender EDID settings can be achieved using the product dip-switches on the end of the EL-4KHDBT-TX-40-IRS. EDID
dip-switch settings are shown below.
Note: You must power cycle the product after making EDID changes. For some sources it may be necessary to power cycle the source
after EDID changes have been made for the source to update its video & audio output settings.
