Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer VS-602XL (a 6x2 switcher) and VS-402XL (a 4x2 switcher) are

high performance vertical interval matrix switchers for composite video and

stereo balanced audio signals. Both the VS-602XL and the VS-402XL feature:

•A video bandwidth that exceeds 300MHz, ensuring that they remain

transparent even in the most critical applications

•LEVEL (gain) and EQ (peaking) controls for each output

•Looping inputs

•Selectable input signal termination

•A TAKE button1

•Two sets of INPUT SELECTOR buttons (one set for each output) and

five front panel control buttons

for precise switch control and a LOCK button to prevent

tampering with the front panel

•Audio-follow-video or audio breakaway option

•Glitch-free transitions, when sources share a common reference sync2

•Switching synchronization either to an external reference or the incoming

video

•Two duplicate3

•Control via the front panel buttons; remotely by RS-485 or RS-232 serial

commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial

controller; and/or via contact closure switches

outputs per set of INPUT SELECTOR buttons (4 outputs

in total)

•Standard 1U 19” rack mount size, with rack "ears" included

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 VS-402XL or

VS-602XL away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Installing in a Rack

5 Installing in a Rack

This section describes what to do before installing in a rack and how to rack

mount.

Before Installing in a Rack How to Rack Mount

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the environment is

within the recommended range: To rack-mount a machine:

1. Attach both ear brackets to the

machine. To do so, remove the

screws from each side of the

machine (3 on each side), and

replace those screws through the

ear brackets.

2. Place the ears of the machine

against the rack rails, and insert the

proper screws (not provided)

through each of the four holes in the

rack ears.

Note that:

•In some models, the front panel

may feature built-in rack ears

•Detachable rack ears can be

removed for desktop use

•Always mount the machine in the

rack before you attach any cables

or connect the machine to the

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

(you can download it at:

http://www.kramerelectronics.com)

Operating temperature range +5°to +45°C (41°to 113°F)

Operating humidity range 10 to 90% RHL, non-condensing

Storage temperature range -20°to +70°C (-4°to 158°F)

Storage humidity range 5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

CAUTION

When installing in a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking

care that:

1. It is located within the recommended environmental

conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a

closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the

room ambient temperature.

2. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around

the machine.

3. The machine is placed straight in the correct

horizontal position.

4. You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting

the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the

circuits might 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.

5. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way

and is connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention to situations where

electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord

is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for

example, when using an extension cable or a power

strip, and that you use only the power cord that is

supplied with the machine.
