Intelix AVO-A4-WP110-EU
Installation Manual
Introduction
The Intelix AVO-A4-WP110-EU wallplate balun transmits four mono or
two stereo analog audio signals over standard unshielded twisted pair
cabling, such as Cat 5 or Cat 6. Used in pairs or with a compatible Intelix
balun, the AVO-A4-WP110-EU transmits analog audio in either
direction up to 2,500 feet and is ideal for corporate A/V, churches,
schools, auditoriums, and almost any other situation involving audio
distribution.
The AVO-A4-WP110-EU features four female RCA connectors on the
front and a 110 punch-down termination on the rear. The unit includes a
110 termination tool.
The Intelix AvoCat Series of baluns is the ideal solution for sending
audio and video over structured cabling. When signal quality matters,
choose Intelix.

Installation
To install the Intelix AVO-A4-WP110-EU balun, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the audio equipment by following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Make certain that outlets and cross connects to which you will connect the AVO-
A4-WP110-EU are configured properly and labeled correctly to identify the point-
to-point circuit.
3. Verify the desired twisted pairs are not being used for
other LAN or telephony equipment.
4. Prepare the balun housing by removing the optional
extension wings. Snap the wing along the break line.
5. Connect the AVO-A4-WP110-EU to a twisted pair cable,
such as Cat 5 or Cat 6. Verify the pinout on the balun
conforms to EIA/TIA 568B standards, as labeled on the
balun.
6. Mount the AVO-A4-WP110-EU in a wallbox.
7. Connect a second compatible Intelix balun to the opposite end of the twisted pair
cable. Verify the pinout on the balun conforms to EIA/TIA 568B standards.
8. Connect the RCA outputs from the source equipment to the first AVO-A4-WP110-
EU.
9. Connect the RCA inputs from the receive input to the second compatible Intelix
balun.
10. Power on the source and destination equipment and test for correct operation.
Caution: Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the balun housin
g
. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Doing so will void your warranty.
Caution: Do not connect the balun to a telecommunication outlet wired to
unrelated equipment. Doing so may damage the unit or an
y
connected equipment.
Ensure all connected twisted pair cabling is straight-through (point-to-point).
Caution: When connecting twisted pair cables to the 110 punch-down connector
on the balun, care should be taken to keep the wires twisted as close to connector
as possible. This will help eliminate stray EMF interference.
Caution: Do not strip the jacket from the individual wires in the twisted pair
cable. The 110 punch-down connector will strip the wire

termination. Stripping the jacket may result in shorts.

Exposing Individual Twisted Pairs
There is no single method when exposing the four individual pairs in twisted pair
cabling; however, it does help to have a cable stripping tool designed to strip the cable
jacket/insulation.
Begin by stripping back the cable’s outer jacket/insulation about an inch (or more
depending on whether multiple baluns will be connected to the pairs of a single cable)
so that the internal wires are exposed. Be careful not to cut the internal wires when
stripping the insulation/jacket. Eight twisted wires and a string should now be visible;
the string is unnecessary and may be removed. These eight wires, which when
combined form four pairs, connect directly to the 110 punch-down connector on the rear
of the balun.
Troubleshooting
If your equipment malfunctions with AVO-A4-WP110-EU baluns in place, follow
the troubleshooting procedures below:
1. Perform diagnostics on source and destination equipment following the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Check all connections and the twisted pair cabling system.
3. Verify the 110 punch pattern conforms to EIA 568B.
4. Verify the maximum recommended cable distances have not been exceeded.
5. Verify that the twisted pair cable does not run parallel to any power cables.
6. Verify no sources of high EMF interference, such as fluorescent lights or
motors are in the vicinity.
7. Verify both the source and destination equipment are grounded on the same
ground plain. Verify both have three-prong power connectors.
8. Replace the balun with another balun that is known to be operational.
