The Extron P/2 DA2xi MT is a distribution amplifier that accepts
video input from a VGA, XGA, UXGA, or QXGA compatible PC
and distributes the signal to separately buffered outputs. Each
output can be extended with Extron MVGA Series cables from 6'
to 250' in length. The MT model also has audio input and output.
Features
• Power/Signal LED — Green LED = power + signal.
Amber LED = power but no signal. Off = no power.
• Gain/Peak DIP switch — Use this feature to compensate for
longer cable runs.
• Out Imp DIP switch — Changes the output impedance to be
compatible with all projectors.
• Cable retention chain — The input cable can be secured to the
unit (either model) with the supplied chain (attached to the
right standoff nut of the input VGA connector) to prevent the
cable from becoming lost or misplaced.

Installation
The P/2 DA2xi MT can be mounted on a rack shelf, under a desk
or tabletop, or on a projector bracket.
Rack mounting
For optional rack mounting, mount the P/2 DA2xi MT on a
19", 1U RSF 123 VersaTools®rack shelf kit (part #60-190-20) or a
standard RSU 129 1U universal rack shelf kit (part #60-190-01) as
shown in the next figure.
Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted to a
VersaTools rack shelf.
1. Remove the rubber feet (if installed) and mount the unit on the
rack shelf, using two screws in opposite (diagonal) corners.
2. Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.
3. Insert the shelf into the rack, and secure the shelf to the rack
using the supplied machine screws.
Use 2 mounting holes on
opposite corners.

CAUTION
When you connect the power supply, voltage polarity
is extremely important. Applying power with
incorrect voltage polarity could damage the power
supply and the amplifier. Identify the power cord
negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord.
Do not tin the stripped power supply leads before
installing the captive screw connector. Tinned wires are
not as secure in the connectors and could pull out. Strip
the power cord jacket 5 mm from the end.
The two power cord wires must be kept separate while
the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before
continuing.
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power
supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

2-bank DIP switches —These switches affect only the

changes output impedance. If all connections and
