Document Number: Revision Date: 10/29/2010 Page 7 of 16 Recommended cable for VGA purpose is ECS P/N 453005. This is a single shielded cable containing 5 separate coaxial cables, color-coded to match the functions of the wires. Note: The above illustration is generic; the pin-out for the wiring on this particular unit is a straight through cable (1-1, 2-2, etc). The individual wires should be extended with 6” 22awg wires using an environmental splice for the red & green wires, and Raychem caps for the blue, white, and black wires. Power and Ground Wiring 22 AWG wire is recommended for Power and...

Document Number: Revision Date: 10/29/2010 Page 12 of 16 Troubleshooting VGA Shadowing Most of shadowing problems are due to shielding on the wire. Locate the point where all of the shields are connected. Cut away the shields, one at a time, while viewing the display on the screen to observe which shield is causing the noise. Cutting away one shield at a time will allow you to focus and isolate the video noise issue.  Twisted pair wiring is prone to video noise. ECS VGA Wire (Detailed under “Video Wiring Suggestions”) is recommended. Snow or Sweeping Lines Lines that slowly sweep up and down...
