Connect the output from your video source to the SDI input (D) on the ACE transmitter. Connect

the SDI or HDMI output (C or L) from the ACE receiver to the video input on your monitor.

POWER AND CONNECT

Connect power to the transmitter and receiver with the included A/C adapter, or if ACE is equipped

with a battery plate accessory, connect a compatible battery (L series or LP-E6).

DEVICE OPERATION

• Keep the transmitter and receiver at close range for 60 seconds after powering on the devices. This

allows them to scan for and select the best wireless channel.

• For best results when using multiple ACE or Bolt systems in the same area, place the transmitters and

receivers a few feet apart from each other.

• Operation of other wireless equipment may interfere with ACE. Try to separate other wireless

transmitters and receivers as much as possible.

NOTE: If mounted upright on a stand above the monitor, use a right-angle SDI adapter to

relieve any strain caused by the weight of the cable, and to avoid damaging the SDI output’s

internal connectors.

2Move the power switches on both the transmitter and receiver (B) to the ON position.

Video appears within a few seconds.

• Test the power cable polarity with ONLY the power cable connected to Ace.

CAUTION: Using a reverse polarity or improperly−constructed power cable can damage the

product and is not covered under warranty.

• Check the power cable for shorts and proper grounding.

• Do not connect video cables.
