CRYSTALVIEW INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

 

 

 

Please refer to the safety section first before proceeding with any 
installation or configuration of the CrystalView. 

 
Installation of the CrystalView consists of four easy steps.   
 

1.  Setting the cable length jumpers/switch (if needed). 
2.  Connecting the cables to the equipment. 
3.  Applying power. 
4.  Adjust the video compensation (if needed). 

 
For systems that only require running Video through the 
CrystalView, (for viewing purposes only) and no keyboard or mouse 
is needed, supplemental power must be supplied to the Local Unit.  
The Local Unit gets its power from the keyboard port of the CPU.  
Rose Electronics can supply a power transformer that connects to 
the Local Units keyboard port to provide this power.  This power 
transformer (P/N KIT-KBPWR) can be ordered from Rose 
Electronics.  
 
When installing the CrystalView, locate it as close as possible to the 
CPU.  Keep the CPU and KVM cables are as short as possible but 
still give some freedom of movement. Using shorter cables keeps 
the video noise to a minimum and reduces installation costs.  You 
can mount the CrystalView in a CPU rack with the optional rack 
mount kit.  When mounting the CrystalView in a rack, follow the 

instructions in Appendix F and Appendix G and assure that the 
operating temperature of the Local and Remote Units do not exceed 
the maximum ratings. Provide adequate air circulation to assure that 
the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded.  The MINI 
model is not rack mountable. 
 
Wherever the CrystalViews Local and Remote Units are located, 
they should be on a secure surface and free from obstructions and 
objects that may cause damage to the units.   
 
When installing the CrystalView, only perform the installation steps 
that apply to your model.
