The Square D Multi-Link Structured Wiring System offers a complete range of products that integrate voice, data, and video applications for a complete system solution. Square D warrants the product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for eighteen months from the date of invoice from Square D or its authorized sales channel. The devices are UL Listed for use in US markets and CUL Listed for use in Canada. APPLICATION DATA The structured wiring modules are wired using Category 5 (CAT-5) or Category 5E (CAT-5E) cable and RG-6 coaxial cables. All structured wiring modules are easily installed into enclosures, also supplied by Square D. Category 5 and 5E Cable Category 5 and 5E cables are made up of four unshielded twisted pairs. Each pair is color coded for application identification. CAT-5 or CAT-5E cables are recommended for telecommunications, camera, and data applications. CAT-5 and CAT-5E cables will support standard analog telephone, digital telephone, and data. Category 5 and Category 5E cables meet TIA/EIA 586A and 570 standards for data applications such as high-speed Internet access. The cables have a bandwidth of 100 MHz and data transmission speeds up to 100 Mbps. CAT-5 and CAT-5E cable installations provide connections for immediate and future computer, video, and telephone upgrades, thus protecting the long-term resale value of the home. NOTE: Category 5/5E cables should not be routed parallel to the AC power wiring unless 14 in. (356 mm) of separation or greater is provided. Cross Category 5/5E cables over AC power wires at 90. Section 1 Introduction Aluminum Foil Shielding Foam Polyethylene Dielectric Core F-Connector RG-6 Coaxial Cable PVC Jacket 60% Aluminum Braid Copper Clad Center Conductor RG-6 Quad RG-6 coaxial cable has an 18 gauge copper coated steel center conductor, polyethylene dielectric core, aluminum braid, and PVC jacket. Standard F connectors are used for video, audio, and television equipment connections. Under extreme noise conditions, such as near a radio or television transmitter, use quad-shielded RG-6 cable. NOTES: RG-6 coaxial cable should not be routed parallel to AC power wiring unless 14 in. (356 mm) of separation or greater is provided. Cross RG-6 coaxial cable over AC power wires at 90.

7 Wiring Guide Recommended Pre-wire Schemes WIRING GUIDE RECOMMENDED PRE-WIRE SCHEMES Structured wiring cables run from the wall boxes in the various rooms of the house directly to the structured wiring enclosure (called home run wiring). Two types of wire are used for communication and entertainment: CAT-5 or CAT-5E, made up of 4-UTP (unshielded twisted pairs), and RG-6 coaxial. CAT-5 or CAT-5E 4-UTP wires handle voice and data for up to four telephone lines. CAT-5 or CAT-5E wires can have two to four unshielded twisted pairs. Square D recommends four pairs. RG-6 coaxial wires handle television (antenna or cable), satellite dish, cable modem, or AV modulator signals. Refer to the following table for the recommended wiring schemes. These wires run from the enclosure to the locations indicated in the table.

For pre-wiring video camera modules, use one red CAT-5/5E cable from each video camera location (for example, front door) and security panel location. Audio/Video and Television Pre-wire Scheme Recommended Color Coding for Coaxial Wire RG-6 Coaxial Wire Color White Black Usage Use as send, upstream, or internal cable from modulators to distribution panel Use as receive, downstream, or external cable from distribution panel to televisions For pre-wiring audio/video and television modules, use RG-6 coaxial cable. Use black coaxial cable for each television and computer location. Use white coaxial cable for each location where one or more video sources are located, the CATV demarcation point (the interface from the television service provider), and off-air antennas. For satellite dish locations, use two white coaxial cables to the distribution panel. For each satellite receiver location, use one white coaxial cable to the distribution panel. If HDTV satellite dishes are installed, four coaxial cables may be required because the satellite systems can accommodate up to four different receivers from a single dish. 04/ Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved 7

8 Wiring Guide Installing and Terminating the Cable Section 2 Wiring Guide Data Pre-wire Scheme For pre-wiring data modules, use one blue CAT-5/5E cable from each computer location, room with a separate peripheral (such as a laser printer), and room where access to the network is needed.

15 Wiring Guide Recommended Product Configurations NOTES: If high-speed Internet service is brought to the home over the telephone lines (DSL), the incoming telephone line should be connected to the SDM46P and then jumped to the SDM8D through the DSL modem (as shown in the figure below). If the Internet service provider (ISP) allows multiple IP addresses to be leased to one modem, then the high-speed Internet service may be available to all the computers in the home using the Multi-Link Ethernet Hub. In this situation, the high-speed Internet line will jump from the SDM8D to the uplink port in the SDM5DE. All the computers connected to the Ethernet hub must have firewall software or hardware installed since they all will have access to the high-speed line at the same time. If the ISP does not allow multiple IP addresses to be leased to one modem, then replace the Multi-Link Ethernet Hub in the figure below with a router (purchased separately).

36 Video Distribution Hub Product Description IR Repeating System Section 7 Video Distribution Hubs The high headroom amplifier and bi-directional amplifier video hubs (models SDM38VBIR and SDM38VHIR) have integrated 5-volt IR engines that pass IR information, allowing control of any video device from any location by simply adding an IR target (model SDM1VIR), an IR emitter (model SDM2VIR), and a set top modulator to the system. For example, when the remote control is pointed at the IR target located at the television, the IR pulses are repeated by the emitter, which is controlling the DVD player in another location. IR information and power from the set top modulator are passed through port B only. When the modulator is connected to port A, IR remote control passing capability is not available and the video hub must be powered. All of the television ports can have targets connected. See the following figure. +12vdc Gnd IR Video hub (model SDM38VHIR) B +Pwr Modulators Televisions A Set top modulator IR target (model SDM1VIR) IR emitter (model SDM2VIR) Typical remote control The single channel modulator (model SDM11VM), channel injectors (models SDM11VMB/SDM11VMH), and the modulator combiner (model SDM81VC) do not pass IR information for remote control.

38 Video Distribution Hub General Information and Application Data GENERAL INFORMATION AND APPLICATION DATA Troubleshooting Section 7 Video Distribution Hubs Situation No picture Weak UHF channel Herringbone interference on modulator channel (diagonal lines) Herringbone interference on many channels, including modulator channels (disappears when you remove the CATV/antenna feed) Audio volume is low No color on modulated channels Possible Solution Check that the television and the modulator are tuned to the same channel. For example, if the modulator is broadcasting on UHF channel 16, make sure the television is on UHF 16 rather than CATV16. UHF 16 and CATV 16 are at different frequencies. If the television has a separate UHF input, be sure that it is connected. Move the modulator channel to another number. A low pass filter might need to be added to remove the cable company noise. If the filter does not work, add a DC-block to remove common mode interference. Use a variable attenuator and try to find a signal level where the interference just disappears. Sometimes, the problem is one station is stronger than the rest. In this case, attenuating all of the signals with a simple attenuator may cause the desired stations to be weak (snowy). Reduce the strength of only the offending station. A common FM trap will help if the problem is a nearby FM tower. If the problem is a nearby television station, usually the station management can provide suitable filters. If you have a mono source, connect it to both right and left inputs using an RCA Y connector. For proper audio level, both right and left inputs must be used. The incorrect cable standard might be in use. Not all televisions can accommodate the 1.25MHz frequency difference between the HRC and IRC cable standards. FCC Requirements These products comply with FCC requirements. A system using these devices will comply with FCC requirements. Use only video modulators and modulator combiners that comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules and have 25 dbmv maximum output levels. Failure to do so may void the user s authority to operate this equipment. The high headroom amplifier video hub (model SDM38VHIR) is suitable for use with an antenna or with CATV systems.

They are digitally tuned and convert any baseband video and audio signal to a user-selected UHF, or Ultraband CATV channel. They have push-button programming for setting the desired channel. They provide an output signal level of 25 dbmv. Each set top modulator has a 5-volt IR engine and connections for IR emitters. When the modulators are used with a video distribution hub (models SDM38VHIR or SDM38VBIR), they allow remote television locations to have IR control of connected video components, such as DVDs, VCRs, and satellite receivers. An IR target (model SDM1VIR) would be required at each television location. An IR emitter (model SDM2VIR) would be required at each device being controlled. The set top modulators offer loop-through capability. Jumpers (75 ohm termination) are located on the side of each unit. When the terminator is removed, output signals can be looped to a local monitor or VCR. The MTS (Multichannel Television Sound) stereo sound modulators encode both audio channels using the MTS stereo standard. Stereo and surround sound information will be received by any MTS compatible television receiver. Features: SDM21VT and SDM21VTST have two inputs for modulating DVD, VCR, etc. SDM41VT and SDM41VTST have four inputs for modulating DVD, VCR, etc. SDM21VTST and SDM41VTST maintain MTS stereo sound 25 dbmv output level 5-volt IR engines Connections for IR emitters (model SDM2VIR) Push button programming Tuning range: UHF and CATV (excluding 95 99) Drift free performance FCC Part 15 compliant Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved 04/03

49 Modulators General Information and Application Data GENERAL INFORMATION AND APPLICATION DATA Troubleshooting Situation No picture Weak UHF channel LEDs blink Herringbone interference on modulator channel (diagonal lines) Herringbone interference on many channels, including modulator channels (disappears when you remove the CATV/antenna feed) Audio volume is low No stereo (models SDM21VTST and SDM41VTST) No color on modulated channels Possible Solution Verify that the video source is on and is producing a video signal. Verify that the channel injector and camera or wall plate are wired properly. The CAT-5/5E colors must match the connector colors. Check that the television and the modulator are tuned to the same channel. For example, if the modulator is broadcasting on UHF channel 16, make sure the television is on UHF 16 rather than CATV 16. UHF 16 and CATV 16 are at different frequencies. If the television has a separate UHF input, be sure that it is connected. Include one unused channel between modulated channels.the display will blink if you have chosen a channel that cannot be used. Move the modulator channel to another number. A low pass filter might need to be added to remove the cable company noise. If the filter does not work, add a DC-block to remove common mode interference. Use a variable attenuator and try to find a signal level where the interference just disappears. Sometimes, the problem is one station is stronger than the rest. In this case, attenuating all of the signals with a simple attenuator may cause the desired stations to be weak (snowy). Reduce the strength of the only offending station. A common FM trap will help if the problem is a nearby FM tower. If the problem is a nearby television station, usually the station management can provide suitable filters. If you have a mono source, connect it to both right and left inputs using an RCA Y connector. For proper audio level, both right and left inputs must be used. When using the television outputs to send audio to a home theater system, make sure the television is in the stereo mode for external speakers. Consult the television manual. The incorrect cable standard might be in use. Not all televisions can accommodate the 1.25MHz frequency difference between the HRC and IRC cable standards. Section 9 Modulators FCC Requirements These products comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: these devices may not cause harmful interference, and these devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Installation Requirements FCC classifies this product under Part 15 of its rules as a "television interface device. Systems designed using television interface devices have the following legal requirements: 1. The modulated channel signal strength may not exceed dbmv at any television (Federal Regulation 47CFR15.115(b)(1)(i)). 2. If an antenna is used in the system, the modulated channel signal strength may not exceed -51 dbmv at the antenna input port (Federal Regulation 47CFR15.115(c)(4)). NOTE FOR INSTALLER: The system you design must comply with these regulations. As the installer, you are responsible. The easiest way to be fully compliant is to use a Square D video hub. Square D video hubs have the necessary isolation from the modulator input ports to the antenna input port and gain characteristic from the modulator input ports to the television output ports. These features will make your modulator installation comply with the above requirements. The typical installation shown on page 45 is fully compliant. The channel injectors have the necessary characteristics to comply with the requirements as designed without additional accessories. The model SDM11VMH is suitable for use with an antenna or with CATV systems.the model SDM11VMB is suitable for use with CATV systems only. 04/ Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved 49

69 TROUBLESHOOTIN G Troubleshooting General Troubleshooting Techniques GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES Multi-Link products are designed for easy, trouble-free installation and connection. Any problems encountered with Multi-Link structured wiring installations can most likely be attributed to the situations that are outlined in the table below. To ensure a properly working system, it is recommended to test each connection during the installation process. If it is necessary to troubleshoot a Multi-Link installation, follow these guidelines to make the troubleshooting process easier: Start at the demarcation point of the system. Don t overlook the obvious. For example, make sure all the power supplies are connected. Temporarily remove as many Multi-Link products as possible from the system to focus on the specific problem. Connect each modulator or video hub directly to a television to verify each Multi-Link product is working properly. RADIO FREQUENCY TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES Thin Rolling Lines or Herringbone Patterns on Many Channels Cause Signal strength at television is too high. Usually caused by an over-driven amplifier. Solution Add one or more in-line attenuators (Multi-Link catalog numbers SDM2503 or SDM2506, see page 65 for more information). Snowy Channels Cause Bad coaxial runs. Solution Check coaxial cable for damage. Replace F-connectors. Thick Video Bars Cause Interference from AC power. Hum Cause Bad power supply. Dark Band Moves Up Screen Cause Bad power supply. No Infrared Control Signals Solution Move coaxial cable runs at least 1 ft (.31m) away from AC wiring, HID or florescent lighting ballasts, ground wires and lightning rods. Solution Replace power supply on affected Multi-Link amplifier or modulator. Solution Replace power supply on affected Multi-Link amplifier or modulator. Section 14 Troubleshooting Cause Solution Either a short in infrared control products (catalog numbers SDM1VIR and SDM2VIR) or a non-ir/dc passing splitter is installed in the system. Multiple Channels Not Displayed by Television Disconnect all IR products. Reconnect one at a time to identify shorted product. Replace shorted IR product. Also replace any non-ir/dc passing splitters in the system. Cause Solution Too narrow bandwidth on coaxial and/or splitters. Also, television tuner may not be able to accept higher channels (a problem with older television sets). Television Will Not Receive Modulated Signal When Cable Box is Used Use RG-6 coaxial cable. Make sure bandwidth of Multi-Link splitters and amplifiers match incoming system frequency range; replace with higher bandwidth products if needed. Cause Some Cable Company Boxes will not pass modulated signals. Solution Install a 2-way splitter ahead of cable box. Connect one side of 2-way splitter to cable box. Connect the other side to a high pass filter (Channelplus catalog number C-BCK). Use another 2-way splitter to combine the output of the cable box with the output from the high pass filter and connect combined signal to television. Modulated Channels Exhibit Ghosting Cause Interference from cable or off-air programming. Also possible result of inadequate coaxial cable. Solution Make sure coaxial cable has adequate shielding.

70 Troubleshooting General Troubleshooting Techniques RADIO FREQUENCY TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED) Modulated Channel Displays all Snow on Television Cause Solution Television tuner and modulator are not set on the same mode (UHF vs VHF). See Modulator Troubleshooting below. Modulated Channel is a Black Picture on Television Cause Modulator is working, but connections from video source to modulator are incorrect. Modulated Channel Exhibits Herringbone Patterns Cause Interference from cable or off-air programming. Solution Make sure video source is powered. Verify good connections from video source (VCR, DVD, etc.) to modulator. Verify video source is working by connecting directly to television. Also see the section Modulator Troubleshooting for Cameras below. Solution See the section Modulator Troubleshooting for Cameras below. MODULATOR TROUBLESHOOTING FOR CAMERAS If the modulated channel is not displayed on the television or if the modulated channel is displayed on the television but exhibits ghosting or herringbone patterns, follow the guidelines below: Section 14 Troubleshooting 1. Make sure the channel programmed on the modulator matches the mode to which the television is set. For example, if the modulator is programmed to a channel between channel 14 and channel 69, then make sure the television is set for off air programming. If the modulator is programmed to a channel between channel 69 and channel 125, make sure the television is set for cable television. 2. With the modulator disconnected from the structured wiring system and the incoming cable or antenna signal connected to the structured wiring system, run the autoprogram on the television set. Autoprogram will detect all used channels. Make sure the modulator is programmed to a channel which autoprogram did not detect, i.e., an unused channel. 3. Connect the modulator output directly to one television and remove the cable or antenna signal from the structured wiring system. 4. If the modulated signal is displayed on the television, then the incoming cable or antenna signal is interfering with the modulated signal. To correct this problem, a filter must be inserted on the incoming signal to clear any cable signal from desired modulated channel. For the filter, see page page If, when the cable or antenna signal is removed from the structured wiring system, the modulated signal does not show up on the television, then the problem may lie with the television set or a cable run. With the cable or antenna signal removed, connect the modulator output to another television set. If the problem still exists, check the relevant coaxial runs for any damage or improperly installed connectors Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved 04/03
