Link In
The link from the transmitter to each receiver unit is made using a twisted pair cable, specied to
Category 5 or higher.
When a single receiver is attached to a link cable, the maximum length of that link cable is 1000
feet (600 feet for EMS1000P models).
Overall maximum link length:1000 feet (600 feet for EMS1000P)
Transmitter
Receiver
However, if further receivers are connected in cascade to the initial receiver (using the LINK OUT
port – Emerge EMS1000MP-R models only), then the overall length of the link cables used must
be reduced. For further information, please refer to the section Making Cascade Connections.
NOTE: Where possible, avoid laying the twisted pair link cable(s) alongside power cables.
1. Attach the connector of the link cable
to the socket labeled LINK IN on the
Emerge EMS receiver. There
should be a click when
the cable is fully
inserted and
locked in
place.
