The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in addition, to promote the reuse,
recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce disposal. The WEEE logo on the product or on
its box indicating collection for electrical and electronic equipment consists of the crossed-out wheeled bin, as shown
below.
This product must not be disposed of or dumped with your other household waste. You are liable of dispose of all
your electronic or electrical waste equipment by relocating over to the specified collection point for recycling of such
hazardous waste. Isolated collection and proper recovery of your electronic and electrical waste equipment at the
time of disposal will allow us to help conserving natural resources. Moreover, proper recycling of the electronic and
electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of human health and environment. For more information about
electronica and electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery, and collection points, please contact your local city
center, household waste disposal service, shop from where you purchased the equipment, or manufacturer of the

Pinout Information
RS-232
Connects to a RS-232 device with the 3-pole, 3.5mm captive screw connectors. Wire as shown below:
Twisted Pair cable
The pinout in the following picture is for twisted pair cable that connects to the DXLink connector on
Transmitters. Use either the T568A or T568B pinout specification for termination of the twisted pair cable
used between the units in a standalone setup or between Transmitters and Receivers and an enclosure
in a full system.
In a typical installation, the cables should be stretched to their full length between Transmitters and
Receivers and the enclosure or between units in a standalone system. Service loops or coils of the cable
may reduce the overall cable performance and should be minimized whenever possible.
Up to 70m
Up to 70m

HARDWARE MANUAL – DX-TX-DWP-4K60 | 10
Installation and Wiring
Mounting Options for Wallplate
The DXLink 4K60 HDMI wallplate transmitter mounts in a standard US single gang back box. Standard
decora style cover plates are provided to allow matching the individual decor of an environment or
matching other standard decor covers in a room/area.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to measure the back box and any other components used to mount the Wallplate
prior to installation/construction to ensure the unit fits (e.g., some mud rings do not work unless their
corners are modified).
Wiring
Warnings:
Before wiring, disconnect the power from all devices.
Before wiring, please see “RS-232 Switch Function” section to do the corresponding configurations.
When connecting with a DGX switcher, power requirements must be determined. (See “Applying Power” of
“Installation and Wiring” section).
During wiring, connect and disconnect the cables gently.
Steps for Device Wiring
a) Extender Mode (Standalone)
A Transmitter and Receiver standalone pair can work together as an extender solution for
transmission of HDMI over twisted pair cable.
1. Connect a high-quality category cable to DXLINK ports between transmitter and receiver (DX-
RX-4K60 or DXL-RX-4K60).
2. Connect an HDMI source (such as PC) to the HDMI IN port of the transmitter with a high-
quality HDMI cable.
3. Connect HDMI display (such as TV or projector) to the HDMI OUT port of receiver.
4. For additional control options:
USB Control: Connect a USB Host PC to the USB HOST port of the transmitter and connect a
USB device (such as a keyboard or mouse) to USB port of the receiver. The USB device can
be connected to the host PC.
RS-232 Pass-Through: Set the RS-232 switch of the transmitter to “PASS THROUGH”.
Connect a RS-232 host (or client) device to RS-232 port of the transmitter, and a client (or
host) device to RS-232 port of the receiver. The RS-232 serial signal will be passed through
bi-directionally.
5. Connect the transmitter and the receiver with the power adapters.

HARDWARE MANUAL – DX-TX-DWP-4K60 | 11
b) Endpoint Mode (Switcher)
The primary function of the Transmitters is to work with compatible DXLink equipment as an endpoint
solution for transmission of HDMI over twisted pair cable.
1. Connect one or more transmitters to the 4K60 DXLink input board of the DGX or the DXLink input
ports of the DVX-4K switcher and connect one or more receivers to the 4K60 DXLink output board
of the DGX or the DXLink output ports of DVX-4K switcher.
2. Connect an HDMI source (such as PC) to the HDMI IN port of the transmitter with a high-quality
HDMI cable.
3. Connect HDMI displays (such as TVs or projectors) to HDMI OUT ports of the receivers.
Applying Power
A desktop power supply is provided with each module. Automatic power supply to DXLink twisted pair
transmitter and receiver units are as follows:
Over local power by connecting the supplied desktop power supply to the 12V input.
Over the DXLink connection from a powered DXLink port on a DGX or DVX.
NOTE: Local power takes precedence over DXLink power.
Power Budget
For TXs and/or RXs connected to an Enova DGX, use the Enova DGX Configuration Tool
(www.amx.com/enova) to determine power requirements of a configuration and if any DXLink TXs or RXs
should use local power.
IMPORTANT: If a desktop power supply is used to power the unit, it must be the one provided, which must
not be altered in any way. AMX does not support the use of any other power supplies or PoE injectors as
they may potentially damage the DXLink equipment.
LED Status Indicators:
INDICATOR LED
NORMAL POWER UP
INDICATES
PWR
Green
The transmitter is powered on.
HDMI Green or Off Green: The HDMI signal is input.
Off: No HDMI signal input.
LINK Green or Off Green: DXLink signal is normal.

HARDWARE MANUAL – DX-TX-DWP-4K60 | 12
RS-232 Operation
RS-232 Switch Settings
The wallplate transmitter features a slide switch to set RS-232 function, the RS-232 switch is as shown
in the following figure. By default, it is set to “PASS THROUGH”.
PASS THROUGH: When the transmitter is connected to a DXLink 4K60 receiver or DXLite 4K60
receiver directly, set the RS-232 switch to “PASS THROUGH” function, the transmitter and the
receiver support transmitting RS-232 signal bi-directionally.
PROGRAM: Connect the RS-232 port of the transmitter to a PC, upgrade the firmware.
RS-232 Pass-through
The RS-232 port are the 3-position screw terminal blocks (see “Pinout Information” Section) on the rear
of the modules.
Under Extender Mode, the serial data can be passed through between the wallplate transmitter and the
receiver. Wire these ports to supply serial data along with the associated video and audio signals from a
source device (over the twisted pair cable between the Transmitter Module and the Receiver Module) to
a destination device or vice versa from the Receiver Module to the Transmitter Module. For more detail,
see the “Wiring” part of “Installation and Wiring” section.
Note: More detail information about the RS-232 function of the connected receiver, please refer to its
own manual on www.amx.com.

HARDWARE MANUAL – DX-TX-DWP-4K60 | 13
Change RS-232 Baud Rate
The default baud rate of the RS-232 port is 115200. Users can use API commands to change the RS-232
baud rate.
Set the RS-232 switch to “PASS THROUGH” and connect the RS-232 port to the PC, ensure a serial port
assistant is downloaded on the PC. Launch the serial port assistant, set the correct port number and
baud rate, and click “Open”. The default baud rate to send commands is 115200. Use command “SET
BAUD_RATE XXX<CR><LF>” to change baud rate.
Note: <CR><LF> denotes a carriage return or a line feed; all commands must be ended up with a carriage
return or a line feed
For example:
Input: SET BAUD_RATE 9600<CR><LF>
Response: baudrate 9600
Note: When upgrading firmware, the baud rate must be set to 115200.
Upgrade
The transmitter supports upgrading firmware through RS-232 port on the rear panel. Please contact AMX
technical support for firmware upgrades.
