Step 1. Turn off power to the V-Matrix enclosure.
Step 2. Remove a slot cover (VM2005BP) from
one of the unused slots of the enclosure
in order to install the VM2382CF.

Step 8. The VM2382CF is ready for operation.
Step 9. Each output card in the enclosure handles
8 output signals. In order to determine the
starting output number of the VM2382CF
just installed, multiply the slot number by
8 and subtract 7.

The VM2382CF unit supplied was carefully tested
and no problems were found. However, we would
like to offer the following suggestions:
and no problems were found. However, we would
like to offer the following suggestions:
8.1 NO DISPLAY
Cause 1:
The cable connections are wrong.
Solution:
Make sure the cables are properly
connected and that the inputs on the
VM2381CF are receiving the input
signals from the TP source. Next,
make sure the selected outputs on
the VM2382CF are connected to the
TP receiver and that the continuity
and wiring are good. If there is still
no display, see Cause 2.

Cause 2:
The path is not properly selected.
Solution:
Verify the signal is being properly
routed through the V-Matrix system.

NOTE: The ALTINEX Standard for
TP signals requires 4 Twisted Pairs.
All 4 pairs must be switched through
the V-Matrix system.
