Step 3: Install KIT-401T and Mount KIT-400R
Install KIT-401T
Insert the device into the in-wall box. Note that first you need to connect the HDBT cable (and power –if powering via the
transmitter) and connect the parts as shown in the illustrations below:
EU/UK Version
US-D Version
DECORA® design frames are included in US-D models.
DECORA® is a registered trademark of Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.
We recommend that you use any of the following standard 2 gang in-wall junction boxes (or their equivalent):
•US-D: 2 gang US electrical junction boxes.
•EU: 2 gang in-wall junction box, with a cut-hole diameter of 2x68mm and depth that can fit in both the device and the
connected cables (DIN 49073).
•UK: 2 gang in-wall junction box (BS 4662), 135x75mm (W, H) and depth that can fit in both the device and the
connected cables.
•EU/UK: 2 gang on-wall junction box (use the recommended Kramer on-wall box available at
www.kramerav.com/product/KIT-401T).
Mount KIT-400R
Install KIT-400R using one of the following methods:
•Attach the rubber feet and place the unit on a flat surface.
•Fasten 2 brackets (included) on each side of the unit and attach them to a flat surface
(see www.kramerav.com/downloads/KIT-401).
•Mount the unit in a rack using the recommended rack adapter
(see www.kramerav.com/product/KIT-401).
•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.
•Maximum mounting height for the device is 2 meters.
Step 4: Connect inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power before connecting to your KIT-401.
Connect the audio output:
To a
balanced
stereo
audio
acceptor:
To an
unbalanced
stereo
audio
acceptor:
To achieve specified extension distances, use the recommended Kramer cables available at www.kramerav.com/product/KIT-401.
Using third-party cables may cause damage!

Setting the KIT-401T OPTION 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).

Step 5: Connect power
KIT-401 uses a PoC (Power over Cable) system, meaning that the system is powered by connecting the 12V adapter to either KIT-401T or
to KIT-400R. Do not connect power to both devices.
Safety Instructions (See www.kramerav.com for updated safety information)
Caution:
•For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating for an external connection, located next to the terminal or in the User Manual.
•There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.
Warning:
•Failure to use PoC and power connector correctly may destroy the devices!
•Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.
•Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.
Step 6: Operate KIT-401
Operate KIT-401 via:
•Remotely, by RS-232 serial commands
transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or
other serial controller.
•Embedded web pages via the Ethernet.
•Remote control switches.
