2 TBUS-1Axl - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

•Review the contents of this user manual

•Use Kramer high-performance high-resolution cables

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date

user manuals, a complete list of Kramer wall plates and module

connectors, application programs, and to check if firmware

upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration

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

associated with low quality cables)

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

•Position your Kramer TBUS-1Axl away from moisture, excessive sunlight

and dust

TBUS-1Axl - Overview 3

3 Overview

The TBUS-1Axl is a modular furniture-mounted connection bus enclosure that is

easily installed into a table or podium top. Once assembled, the TBUS-1Axl lets

you connect any equipment to the room’s presentation system installations via

cable access or passive interfaces (see Figure 1). When the cables are not in use,

they can be stored inside the unit, covered by the lid and out of sight.

In addition, the TBUS-1Axl features:

•A modular design, letting you tailor the TBUS-1Axl according to your

requirements

•A black anodized or brushed clear aluminum lid with a special opening for

cable pass-through, (note, that other customized colors can also be ordered)

•Height adjustment screw holes to set the inner frame (ordered separately) to

the desired height

•Single or dual power socket openings that are suitable for any of the

following power sockets: for the USA, Germany (the Europlug), Belgium-

France, Italy, Australia, Israel, South Africa or “Universal” for use anywhere

(see compatibility restrictions in Section 7

Order the power sockets separately from Kramer Electronics

)
