Intelix S-V1AR
Installation Manual
Introduction
Ideal for transmitting composite video extended distances over
twisted pair cable, the Intelix S-V1AR receives signals from remote
Intelix baluns up to 4,000 feet away. The unit features screw
terminal connectors for the twisted pair input and two BNC
connectors for the analog video output, thereby allowing two devices
to simultaneously receive the picture. Each output video channel is
adjustable with gain and skew switches.
The S-V1AR is compatible with all baseband signals, including
PAL, NTSC, and SECAM, and features built-in transient protection
and exceptional interference rejection. The unit includes a 12V
power supply.
When signal quality matters, choose Intelix.

Installation
1. Power off the source and destination devices which will be connected to the
baluns.
2. Verify the modular outlets and cross connects to which you will connect the S-
V1AR are configured properly and labeled appropriately to identify the circuit.
3. Verify the desired twisted pairs are not being used for other LAN or telephone
equipment.
4. Connect the S-V1AR to the video port of the destination equipment. If desired,
connect the second output to a secondary destination device.
5. Connect one end of the twisted pair cable to the S-V1AR balun.
6. Connect a compatible transmit balun to the video port on the source equipment.
7. Connect the other end of the twisted pair cable to the second balun. The twisted
pair pinout on both the send and receive baluns should match.
8. Connect the 12V power supply to the S-V1AR. Verify the power LED is
illuminated.
9. Power on the source and destination equipment.
10. Verify picture quality. If necessary, adjust the Distance Adjust dipswitches on the
bottom of the unit.
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 any connected equipment.
Ensure all connected twisted pair cabling is straight-through (point-to-point).
Caution: To minimize the possibilit
y
of equipment dama

e from electrostatic
discharge (ESD), all source and destination equipment must be powered off durin

installation. This includes signal extenders, splitters, and switches.
Note: For

our convenience, it is recommended that
y
ou uniquel

mark the ends
of the twisted pair cable before pulling them through a wall or conduit.
