in the literature accompanying the product.

» WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE AND OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THIS APPARATUS.

» Use the mains plug to disconnect the apparatus from the mains.

» THE MAINS PLUG OF THE POWER CORD MUST REMAIN READILY ACCESSIBLE.

» Do not defeat the safety purpose polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider

than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong

is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of

your obsolete outlet. Cauon! To reduce the risk of electrical shock, grounding of the center pin of this plug must be

maintained.

» Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched parcularly at the plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the apparatus.

» Do not block the air venlaon openings. Only mount the equipment per Intelix’s instrucons.

» Use only with the cart, stand, table, or rack specied by Intelix or sold with the equipment. When/if a

cart is used, use cauon when moving the cart/equipment combinaon to avoid injury from p-over.

» Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of me.

» Cauon! Shock Hazard. Do not open the unit.

» Refer to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as

power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus

has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

The Digitalinx DL-ARK Advanced Room Kit is a mul-funcon A/V distribuon and push buon control

system designed to provide audio, video and USB 2.0 data extension with complete system control

all in one convenient system. Only two solid core, shielded Category 6 cables are required to connect

the enre system together which consists of one HDBaseT wall plate transmier, one HDBaseT

receiver and one keypad controller. All the power needed for the keypad and wall plate transmier is

provided by the receiver via Category cable / HDBaseT.

There are two systems available in the series; the DL-ARK-3H1VC features 2 HDMI inputs and 1 VGA

with audio input on the wall plate transmier and the DL-ARK-4HC features 3 HDMI inputs on the

wall plate transmier. Both HDBaseT transmiers features a USB B host port for connecon to a

computer or host and a dedicated audio input that is independent of all video inputs. The DL-ARK

HDBaseT receiver for both systems provides an addional HDMI input for a local A/V input, an HDMI

output for a display or projector, a 3 port client USB hub for connecon to interacve white board

or USB mic / camera, a two port LAN switch, mic / line analog audio input, line audio analog output,

40 wa 70 volt power amplier output and an RS232 and IR output for display or projector control

either by keypad controller or web server. The DL-ARK control keypad for both systems features audio

and video input selecon control for all A/V inputs, variable audio control for the mic/line input, line

audio output and amplied audio output from the DL-ARK receiver and can control a connected

display or projectors ON and OFF status via RS232 or IR from the receiver as well. The DL-ARK

systems are UL Listed.

Several DL-ARK systems can be remotely managed by the DL-ARK system management soware

which allows centralized status view and control of a system from anywhere on the LAN.

Mounng the Wall Plate Transmier

Changing Transmiers Decorator Insert Plate

At least 2 inches of free air space is required on both sides of the DL-ARK receiver for proper side venlaon.

Avoid mounng the DL-ARK receiver near a power amplier or any other source of signicant heat.

Mount the wall plate keypad controller into a US 1 gang low voltage bracket or juncon box, mount the wall

plate transmier into a US 2 gang low voltage bracket or juncon box. Mount

The DL-ARK is supplied with black and white decorator insert plates as well as decorator style cover plates to

match. To remove exisng insert plate take a small screw drive and detach using one of the tabs connected to

the transmier wall plate. See example below.

Once exisng insert plate is removed, aach the desired plate to the transmier by snapping the plates into

place into the tabs on the transmier.

Remove the screws on both sides of the DL-AS61U-H2, then aach the supplied mounng clips to the DL-ARK

for surface or rack mounng..

Connecng Video Sources

Connecng Displays

Connect source devices to the inputs on the transmier or receiver. When using HDMI cables for source inputs,

use a High Speed HDMI cable that is less than or equal to 1.5 meters in length for 4k60 signals and 5 meters for

1080p signals.

Connect the display device to the HDMI output using a High Speed HDMI cable that is less than or equal to 1.5

meters in length for 4k60 signals and 5 meters for 1080p signals.

Twisted Pair Wiring

Use TIA/EIA-568B wiring for Category 6

connecon between send and receive

units.

To ensure proper performance of the DL-ARK system, it is recommended that you use solid core, shielded Category 6

F/UTP cabling at a minimum. Category 5e F/UTP may perform well up to a certain length but may not support power over

HDBaseT reliably longer distances.

For opmized performance use the following Liberty Wire and Cable branded cabling;

Category 6 plenum; 24-4P-P-L6SH

Category 6A plenum; 24-4P-P-L6ASH

Category 6 NON-plenum; 24-4P-L6SH

Category 6A NON -plenum; 24-4P-L6ASH

When using shielded category cabling ALWAYS...

....use shielded connectors

....properly ground the category cable

The DL-ARK-4HC transmier has a dedicated 3.5mm stereo unbalanced audio line level input. Connect an audio

source to the transmier plate if desired.

The DL-ARK-3H1VC transmier has two 3.5mm stereo unbalanced audio line level inputs, one to be embedded

with the VGA video when the input selected and a dedicated input that requires no video input to pass. Connect

an audio source to the transmier plate if desired.

The DL-ARK-3H1VC receiver has a 3 pin phoenix stereo audio input that can be used to connect stereo unbalanced

line level input source or a balanced microphone audio input. Connect an unbalanced line level audio source

to the receiver with the following pin out for stereo audio, be sure to use the LINE audio opon with the audio

selector opon.

Connect a balanced mic level audio source to the receiver with the following pin out for mic audio, be sure to

use the MIC audio opon with the audio selector opon when using dynamic microphones and use 48V opon

when using condenser microphones that require phantom power.
