d Power Connector — Plug the external 12 V power supply (provided with the unit) into
this 2-pole captive screw connector.
NOTE: The HDMI 101 Plus can draw power from the external power supply or, via the
HDMI cable, from the input device (see “Powering Via the Input Source”
on page 6). For optimum performance, Extron recommends that the power is
taken from the external power supply.
The figure below shows how to wire the connector.

CAUTION: • Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity
can damage the power supply, the transmitter, the receiver, or both.
Identify the ground ( ) lead by the ridges on the side of the cord (see
the figure above).
• Always use a power supply provided by or specied by Extron. Use
of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance
certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end
product.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for
use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is
to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron A/V processing
equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the
equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable
provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, Article 75 and
the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, Section 16. The power supply
shall not be permanently fixed to the building structure or a similar
structure.
NOTES: • The ideal length of exposed wire in the stripping process is 3/16 inch
(5 mm). If longer than 3/16 inch, the exposed wires may touch, causing a
short circuit. If shorter than 3/16 inch, the wires can be easily pulled out
even if tightly fastened.
• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and comes loose
over time.
