Thank you for purchasing the EXeARC1
At Simplified MFG, we strive to make reliable cutting-edge devices and the
EXeARC1 is the result of a commitment to deliver cutting-edge devices first.
First means nothing if it is not reliable. The EXeARC1 was constructed with
the highest grade components available and should provide years of
reliable service. Please keep this manual for future reference.
Surge protection device recommended
The EXeARC1 is designed to operate in the HDMI realm with an external
24V supply at one end. The supply is very robust, but a surge device is
always good insurance in electrically active storms or areas where the
power grid is unreliable. If connected to satellite or cable boxes, the
HDSURGE is recommended to prevent surges through the HDMI cable.
