Mount KIT-400

Install KIT-400 using one of the following methods:

Attach the rubber feet and place the unit on a flat surface.
Fasten a bracket (included) on each side of the unit and attach it to a flat surface (see www.kramerav.com/downloads/KIT-400).
Mount the unit in a rack using the recommended rack adapter (see www.kramerav.com/product/KIT-400).
Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature & air flow) is compatible for the device.
Avoid uneven mechanical loading.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
The maximum mounting height for the device is 2 meters.

Wiring the RJ-45 connectors
This section defines the TP pinout, using a straight pin-to-pin cable with RJ-45 connectors. For HDBT cables, it is recommended that the cable ground shielding be connected/soldered to the connector shield.

To achieve specified extension distances, use the recommended Kramer cables available at www.kramerav.com/product/KIT-400. Using third-party cables may cause damage!

Setting the KIT-400T DIP-switches
A switch that is down is on; a switch that is up is off. By default, all the switches are up (off). After changing a DIP-switch you must power cycle the device to implement the change.

DIP-switch 1 set to off (up).
DIP-switch 2 set to off (up).
