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 SL-10 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.
2.2 Safety Instructions
!
Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit
Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall
adapter that is provided with the unit
Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall
before installing
2.3 Recycling Kramer Products
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
2002/96/EC aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to
landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected and recycled. To
comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made
arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and
will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer
Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN facility. For details
of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country go to our
recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

3 Overview
The SL-10 is a highly versatile controller that acts as an all-in-one control
processor for control of A/V equipment—especially projectors and
associated equipment—in any room (such as classrooms, boardrooms, or
auditoriums). It streamlines operations and simplifies control by integrating
audio, video, and computer-video sources into a centralized system.
The SL-10 Master Room Controller features:
•An Ethernet port for controlling several AV products over ETH
•2 general purpose I/O ports that can be configured as analog inputs,
digital inputs, or digital outputs for interfacing with a variety of
devices such as sensors, switches, LEDs, and relays
•2 bidirectional RS-232 ports that control AV equipment such as
projectors, LCD and PDP displays, power amplifiers, switchers and
scalers
•5 relay contact closure ports that control other room items related to
the AV system such as raising and lowering drapes, the screen or the
projector
•IR control on two inputs (one built-in receiver and the other on a
3.5mm mini jack) and three outputs (on terminal blocks)
•IR Learning that learns commands from any IR remote
•1 RS-485 serial port
•Compatibility with Kramer Site-CTRL software for network remote
control and management over the Ethernet port
•A K-NET™ control channel that connects compatible user interfaces
and supplies power and control data over a single cable
•A USB port for uploading a configuration file
•Status LEDs for all functions
•Flexible control via Ethernet, K-NET™, RS-485, an IR sensor and
external IR commands
