Introduction

Atlona HDVS transmitter wall plate was designed to smooth the transition from analog to digital displays in schools and businesses, allowing advanced HDMI display devices to be used with both

HDMI sources and the many VGA computers still in use. HDBaseT and power over category cable

(PoCc™) allow signal and power over a single category cable, with RS-232 control capability.

Used in a simple system with the Atlona HDVS-RX, this wall plate can be located up to 230 feet (70 meters) away from the display, turn the projector on / off and is connected with a single cable. No power supply is required at the wall plate.

US and UK Face Plate Change

When switching the product between US and UK face plates, three layers of screws will need to be removed.

First Layer

The first set of screws that need removal are the locking screws for the HDMI and VGA ports. There are 3 total to remove.

The top white face plate can be removed once those have been taken out.

Second Layer

The second set of screws to remove are in the grey tabs attached to the wall plate back box.

Remove all 4.

The back box can be removed now.

Third Layer

The third set of screws for removal are at the bottom of the PCB boards. Place the grey face plate down and remove the 4 screws from the corner edges. The grey plate is removable now.

Replace the grey and the white face plates with the correct regional face plate starting at layer 3 until layer one has been replaced.
