Adder Technology AV Series User Manual

If you experience problems when installing or using the AdderLink AV modules, 
please check through this section for a possible solution. If your problem is not 
listed here and you cannot resolve the issue, then please refer to the ‘Getting 
assistance’ section.

•  Check that the both the red power indicators are lit on both the transmitter 

and receiver modules - if they are not, then there is a power problem. Both 
modules require power from their supplied power adapters.

•  Check that the green video input indicators are lit on both the transmitter 

and receiver modules - if one or both are not lit, then a valid video input 
signal is not present at the input to that module. 

•  Check the link cable(s) that connect the transmitter and receiver module(s) 

for soundness and correct wiring as per the diagram in the ‘Skew 
compensation adjustments’ section in the ‘Operation’ chapter.

•  If possible, try using an alternative twisted pair link connection between the 

modules. 

•  If the sharpness control is set too high, the monitor may not be able to 

display a picture. Try reducing the sharpness setting. Please refer to the 
‘Adjustments’ section in the ‘Special Configuration’ chapter.

•  If not already fitted, connect a monitor to the 

 port of the transmitter 

module and check for a correct video image output.

Video image at the receiver module is distorted or shadows appear to 
the right of displayed objects.
Adjustments are required to compensate for the length of the twisted pair cable 
being used. If video problems persist:

•  Please refer to the ‘Brightness and sharpness adjustments’ section in the 

‘Operation’ chapter.

•  If the overall video image is ‘fuzzy’ and/or has coloured shadows you may 

need to make skew adjustments (AdderLink AV101 receivers only). This 
procedure allows you to finely tune the red, green and blue video signal 
timings to overcome most colour separation problems. Please refer to the 
‘Skew compensation adjustment’ section in the ‘Operation’ chapter.

•  Each module has an internal automatic cut-out fuse to protect against 

power surges. To reset, remove power from the module for one second and 
then reconnect.

•  If not already fitted, connect speakers to the 

 port of the transmitter 

module and check for a correct audio output. 

•  Check that the both the red power indicators are lit on both the transmitter 

and receiver modules - if they are not, then there is a power problem. Both 
modules require power from their supplied power adapters.
