3.2 Usage Precautions
Please cut off the power of the HDMI source device and the output-displaying device before accessing with The HDBASE100ME, as it
may damage to the extender. Ensure that all connections (including the power cord) are done before turning on the power to work with
the extender.
3.3 Connection Procedure
Step1. Connect HDMI source (such as DVD player) to HDMI IN port of the transmitter with HDMI cable.
Step2. Connect HDBASE100ME port of the transmitter and HDBASE100ME port of the receiver, with single CAT5e cable.
Step3. Connect HDMI displayer (such as HDTV) to HDMI OUT port of the receiver with HDMI cable.
Step4. Both the transmitter and the receiver have IR IN and OUT. When one model use for IR signal receiver, the other model must send
out the IR signal.
For example: When “IR IN” of the transmitter connects with an IR receiver, the IR Emitter must be connected to “IR OUT” of the
receiver.
Step5. To set as a LAN, one of the four ETHERNET ports of the transmitter and the receiver should be used for Internet access, and the
others can be connected with computers.
Step6. Connect the RS232 port of the computer and the RS232 port of the transmitter or the receiver (any one is able to work as the
RS232 signal can be transmitted bi-directionally) by using a RS232 cable.
Step7. Connect DC5V power adaptors to both the transmitter and the receiver.
3.4 System Applications
The HDBASE100ME Extender can be widely used in many commercial A/V applications such as digital signage, hotels, restaurants,
large screen displays and tradeshows, conference rooms, education, and banking institutions.

6. Troubleshooting & Maintenance
1) When there is a color lost or no video signal output, check HDMI & Cat5e cables or try different cables.
2) When you can’t control the extender by computer through its COM port, please check the COM port number in the software, and
make sure the COM port is in good condition and the communication protocol is correct.
3) When switching, there is no output image:
#Check if there is any signal at the input.
#Check if there is any signal at the output.
We can check these by using an oscilloscope or a multimeter. If there is no signal input/output, maybe the input/output cables
broken or the connectors are loose.
#Check if the output port number is the same with the controlled one.
#If it is still the same after the above troubleshooting please contact technical support.
4) If the static becomes stronger when connecting the video connectors, it probably due to bad grounding, please check the grounding
and make sure it connected well, otherwise it would damage the extender.
5) If the extender cannot be controlled through the RS232 port or by the IR remote, the unit could be malfunctioning. Please contact
support
7. Safety Operation Guide
In order to guarantee the reliable operation of the equipment and safety of the staff, please abide by the following proceeding in
installation, using and maintenance:
1) The system must be earthed properly. Do not use two blades plugs and ensure the alternating power supply ranged from 100v to
240v and from 50Hz to 60Hz.
2) Do not put the device in a place of too hot or too cold.
3) As the power generating heat when running, the working environment should be maintained fine ventilation, in case of damage
caused by overheat.
4) Cut off the general power switch in humid weather or left unused for long time.
5) Before following operation, ensure that the alternating current wire is pull out of the power supply:
#Take off or reship any components of the equipment.
#Take off or rejoin any pin or other link of the equipment.
6) As to non-professional or without permission, please DO NOT try to open the casing of the equipment, DO NOT repair it on your own,
in case of accident or increasing the damage of the equipment.
7) DO NOT splash any chemicals substance or liquid in the equipment or around.
