Installation
Caution: Do not attempt to open the VGADA-2 housing. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside the product. Opening the unit will void your
warranty.
To install a VGADA-2 distribution amplifier, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the video equipment (PC, laptops, monitors,
etc.) by following the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Connect the output of the source device to the VGADA-2 input.
3. Connect the input of the destination devices to the output connectors of the
VGADA-2 using high-quality HD15 (VGA) cables. Verify that the total cable
length is under 150 feet or a secondary audio/video over Cat 5 balun is being used.
If linking multiple VGADA-2s, see Linking.
4. Plug the DC connector from the 12VDC power supply into the VGADA-2. Or,
connect the USB cable to the source device (i.e., computer) and the VGADA-2.
5. Plug the power supply into an AC outlet.
6. Power on the source and destination devices.
Note: If you connect a DDC monitor to output 1 of the VGADA-2, all other
monitors must be able to support the same resolution as the DDC
monitor.
Linking
To display the same image on more than two monitors, multiple VGADA-2
amplifiers may be linked. Simply connect the input of additional VGADA-2
amplifiers to an output of the original VGADA-2.
Caution: There will be signal loss with each subsequent VGADA-2
connection.
Troubleshooting
If your equipment malfunctions with VGADA-2 amplifiers in place, follow the
troubleshooting procedures below:
1. Perform diagnostics on your video equipment by following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Check all the connections and the cabling in between devices.
3. The maximum operational distances over which the VGADA-2 can be
transmitted is dependant on the equipment used and cable. Ensure that the
maximum recommended operational distances have not been exceeded.
4. Replace the VGADA-2 with another VGADA-2 that is known to be working.
5. If you still cannot diagnose the problem, contact Intelix for support.
