3.1 Recommendations for Best Performance

We recommend that you:

• Have a Philips screwdriver available
- Disconnect the mains voltage and all cables connected to each machine that is being mounted in the rack adapter before proceeding with the installation
- 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 and position your rack adapter on the rack away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

5 Install the Kramer RK-1UTB Under the Table Enclosure

To install the RK-1UTB you have to:

- Mount the Kramer devices on the RK-1UTB (see section 5.1)

- Attach the RK-1UTB under the table (see section 5.2)

• Install the cables (see section 5.3)

This section also describes how to:

- Mount units that do not have underside screw holes (see section 5.4)

- Connect a blank panel (optional) (see section 5.5)

5.1 Mount the Kramer devices on the RK-1UTB

The example illustrated in Figure 1, shows the Kramer VP-100A (a half-19" unit) with these two wall plate inserts: the WRR and W-H.

5.1.1 Installing the Required Kramer Inserts

To mount a Kramer insert or connector module, do the following:

1. Unscrew the two screws that fasten the blank plate to the connecting surface and remove the blank plate.
2. Place the required Kramer insert over the opening, insert the two screws to fix the Kramer insert in place, and tighten them.

5.1.2 Mounting the Kramer TOOL

The RK-1UTB underside TOOL mounting area includes a set of screw holes that are suitable for any combination of units to be mounted.

To mount a unit on the RK-1UTB, as illustrated in Figure 2, do the following:

1. Place the first unit on the rack (for example, the Kramer VP-100A).
2. Hold both the VP-100A and the RK-1UTB with your hands and turn them upside down.
3. Insert the appropriate amount of screws through the holes on the RK-1UTB that fit the holes on the underside of the VP-100A, using the M3x5 screws supplied with the unit (as illustrated in Figure 3).
4. Tighten the screws.
5. Rotate the RK-1UTB horizontally with the unit connected ^1 .

5.2 Securing the RK-1UTB Enclosure to the Table

To install the RK-1UTB underneath the table, as illustrated in Figure 4, do the following:

1. Place the unit to the underside of the table and mark the correct location.
2. Insert the six M4.2X16 wood screws into the six rim screw holes (three on each side) and fix the RK-1UTB to the table.

5.3 Installing the Cables

To install the cables, do the following:

1. Connect the cables on the rear side of the unit.
2. Connect the Kramer machine (for example, the VP-100A) to the power socket.

The RK-1UTB can accommodate 12V, 500mA, 5.2V and 2A DC power adapters. If the machine installed requires a larger size power adapter, we recommend using the Kramer 12V desktop power supply with a DC plug ^1 which fits easily into the rear side of the RK-1UTB enclosure.

1. Connect other devices to the power sockets on the front panel.
2. Connect the rear side power socket to the mains power.

The RK-1UTB is ready for use.

5.4 Mounting Units that do not have Underside Screw Holes

Some Kramer machines do not have screw holes on the underside, which fit the holes on the RK-1UTB. These machines (for example, the VP-5xl ^2 ) are connected via the screw holes on the sides of the RK-1UTB.

To mount the VP-5xl on the RK-1UTB as illustrated in Figure 5, do the following:

1. Unscrew the two M3x6 screws from the side panel of the unit, which will be attached to the side panel of the RK-1UTB.
2. Place the VP-5xl on the rack, adjacent to the inner side panel of the RK-1UTB.
3. Insert the two M3x6 screws through the holes on the side panel of the RK-1UTB that fit the holes on the side panel of the unit.
4. Tighten the screws.
