Overview

3 Overview
The PT-5T, PT-5R is an IR transmitter and receiver pair that let you
control up to five devices1
In particular, the PT-5T, PT-5R:
via their own remote control transmitters from an
extended distance over TP (Twisted Pair) cable.
•Lets you operate devices that are stacked away in closets, cabinets
and even other rooms
•Can operate at a distance of up to 250m meters (820ft) between the
transmitter and receiver
•Is 5V DC fed
To achieve the best performance:
•Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
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 and position your Kramer PT-5T,
PT-5R away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
1 For example, a video player, DVD player, air conditioning system, and any other remote controlled machine

5.1 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.

To connect the PT-5T, PT-5R IR Extender and Repeater as illustrated in
the example in Figure 4:
1. Plug the IR receiver into the IR IN 3.5mm mini jacks 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.
6 Operating the PT-5T, PT-5R IR Extender and Repeater
Use the remote control specific to the device to operate any of the devices
connected via infrared to the PT-5T and PT-5R1
•PT-5T to the device under control
. The infrared signal from
the remote control is transmitted from the:
–and–
•PT-5T to the PT-5R via the TP cable, and from there to the device
under control
1 You can use a machine’s original remote control or a universal remote control
