2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer PT-5T/R away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

4.1 Identifying the IR Receiver and IR Emitters

The receiver and emitters can be identified by their size and shape. The receiver is

large and trapezoidal in shape; the emitters are small and rectangular in shape

with a rounded top. Both have a 2m (6.6ft) cable attached terminated with a

3.5mm mini jack.

4.2 Connecting the PT-5T/R IR Extender/Repeater

To connect the PT-5T/R IR Extender/Repeater as illustrated in the example in

Figure 4:

1. Plug the IR receiver into the IR IN 3.5mm mini jack on the front panel of the

PT-5T.

2. Plug up to two IR emitters into the OUT 1 and OUT 2 3.5mm mini jacks on

the front panel of the PT-5T.

3. Mount each of the IR emitters so that each points at and is within range of

the relevant media device to be controlled.

4. Plug up to three IR emitters into the OUT 1, OUT 2 and OUT 3 3.5mm mini

jacks on the front panel of the PT-5R.

5. Mount each of the IR emitters so that each points at and is within range of

the relevant device to be controlled.

6. Connect the PT-5T and the PT-5R together, using TP cable, via the RJ-45

connectors on the rear panel of both devices.

7. Connect the power adapter to the 5V DC connector on the rear panel of the

PT-5T or the PT-5R and to the mains electricity.

Note: Only one of the devices needs to be connected to a power adapter.

4.3 Using the PT-5T/R IR Extender/Repeater

Use the remote control specific to the device to operate any of the devices

connected via infrared to the PT-5T and PT-5R.(Use the machine’s original

remote control or a universal remote control.) The infrared signal from the remote

control is transmitted:

From the PT-5T to the device under control or

From the PT-5T to the PT-5R via the TP cable, and from there to the device

under control
