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.

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-88UT to check for up-to-date user manuals,

application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

Achieving 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 neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

Position your Kramer VS-88UT 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.

VS-88UT - Installing in a Rack

Installing in a Rack

This section provides instructions for rack mounting the VS-88UT. Before installing in a rack,

verify that the environment is within the recommended range:

Operation temperature –0to 40C (32 to 104F).

Storage temperature –-40to +70C (-40 to +158F).

Humidity –10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing.

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

It is located within recommended environmental conditions. Operating ambient

temperature of a closed or multi-unit rack assembly may exceed ambient room

temperature.

Once rack mounted, there is enough air still flow around the VS-88UT.

The VS-88UT is placed upright in the correct horizontal position.

You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting the VS-88UT to the supply circuit,

overloading the circuits may have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and

supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For example,

for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.

The VS-88UT is earthed (grounded) and connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention when electricity is supplied indirectly (for example,

when the power cord is not plugged directly into the wall socket but to an extension

cable or power strip). Use only the supplied power cord.

To rack-mount the VS-88UT:

1. Attach both rack ears to the VS-88UT:

Remove the screws from each side of the VS-88UT

(5 on each side), and replace them through the rack

ears.

2. Place the rack ears of the VS-88UT against the rack

rails and insert the appropriate screws (not provided)

through each of the four holes in the rack ears.

Some models, may feature built-in rack ears:

Detachable rack ears can be removed for desktop use.

Always mount the VS-88UT in the rack before connecting any cables or power.

If you are using a Kramer rack adapter kit (for a machine that is not 19"), see the Rack

Adapters user manual for installation instructions available from our Web site

www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-88UT.
