Network Configuration
To ensure the IP Address will not change due to a power outage,
Savant recommends using DHCP reservation within the router. By
using this method, IP Addresses for all devices can be managed from a
single UI, avoiding the need to access devices individually.
NOTE: Setting DHCP reservation varies from router to router. Refer to
the documentation for the router to configure DHCP reservation.
Installation
The Savant Pro AV 8-port / 4-port Transmitter chassis can be mounted
using the included rack-mounting ears and hardware in a 3U rack
style enclosure and is compatible with all standard 19-inch National
Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) rack mounts. For more
information, see the Savant IP Video Deployment Guide (009-1977-xx)
on the Savant Customer Community.

Rear Panel Wiring and Connections
Supported Audio and Video Formats
IR connections are made using a 3-pin connector supplied with the
device. The wire slips into the hole and locks with a screw located
at the top of the connector. See the 3-Pin Screw Down Connections
section below.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS!
–IR emitters must be located 15 feet (4.6 meters) from the
controller’s location.
–Use of 3rd party blinking IR emitters with Talk Back is not
recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage
away from the IR signal that can degrade IR performance.
IR Wiring
Serial control connections are made using a 3-pin connector supplied
with the device. The wire slips into the hole and locks with a screw
located at the top of the connector. See the 3-Pin Screw Down
Connections section below.
RS-232 Wiring
Enhanced small form-factor pluggable connection. Use a Savant
certified Direct Access Copper (DAC) SFP+ cable to connect the
chassis to the 10G switch, or Savant certified fiber and fiber connectors
along with Savant certified SFP+ modules.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: Prior to starting the process of removing and replacing a fuse, remove the AC Power by unplugging the power
cord from the rear of the unit.
1. Verify the power cord is unplugged from either the wall outlet or
the rear of the unit.
2. With a small flat blade screwdriver or similar, pry open and pivot
down the fuse holder cover.
3. Using that same screwdriver, gently loosen and pull the fuse
cartridge slowly out from the unit. Make note of the orientation
of the fuse cartridge as it is removed. When re-Installing, it is
important that it be positioned the same way as it came out to
ensure proper operation. Refer to diagram below
TIP: Mark the chassis and fuse holder to ease the re-installation
process.
4. Remove the old fuse from the cartridge and discard. Place the new
fuse into the cartridge.
5. Place the cartridge part way into the receptacle being careful to
align it as defined in the diagram. Gently push the fuse cartridge
until it seats with the terminals at the rear of the slot. If resistance
is encountered, DO NOT apply more pressure. Stop pushing on the
cartridge, remove it, verify the orientation is correct, and repeat
step 5 until cartridge is seated.
IMPORTANT: The orientation of the cartridge within the unit and location of the fuse within the cartridge are crucial to proper operation.
Make note of the orientation of the cartridge and the fuse location within the cartridge before removing.

When making connections, follow the guidelines set below to ensure a
safe and secure connection.
3-Pin Screw Down Connections
1. With a small slotted screwdriver,
turn the screws on the connector
counterclockwise (CCW) until the
silver crimps open enough to slide a
wire into the square slots.
2. Strip back insulation on each wire to
/4 inch and insert the stripped wire
into the proper connection.
3. Turn the screw clockwise (CW) until
the crimps tighten around each wire.
Gently tug on each wire a bit to
verify they are secure.
