1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professionals on a daily basis.
2 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 i 2.1 Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.2 Safety Instructions ! 2.3 Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall adapter that is provided with the unit Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing Recycling Kramer Products The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected and recycled.
3 Overview The SL-12 is a highly versatile controller that acts as an all-in-one control processor for control of AV equipment—especially projectors and associated equipment—in any room (such as classrooms, boardrooms, or auditoriums). It streamlines operations and simplifies control by integrating audio, video, and computer-video sources into a centralized system.
3.1 Defining the SL-12 Master Room Controller This section defines the SL-12. Figure 1: SL-12 Master Room Controller # Feature Function 1 ETHERNET RJ-45 Connector Connects to the PC or other serial controller through computer networking LAN to control several AV products over Ethernet 2 DEFAULT Recessed Pushbutton Press to reset to factory default definitions: IP number 192.168.1.39, Mask – 255.255.0.0, Gateway – 0.0.0.
# 8 Feature K-NET Connector Function PIN GND is for the Ground connection; PIN B (-) and PIN A (+) are for RS-485, and PIN +12V is for powering other units Note that the SL-12 cannot receive power via the K-NET connector, but can power other units (but not another SL-12) 6 9 RS-485 TERM Switch Slides down for RS-485 termination, slides up for not terminated 10 K-NET TERM Switch Slides down for K-NET termination, slides up for not terminated 11 PROG.
4 Connecting the SL-12 i Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your SL-12. After connecting your SL-12, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device. To connect the SL-12 as illustrated in the example in Figure 2: 1. Connect the RELAY terminal block connectors as follows: Connect RELAY 1 and 2 to the projector lift Connect RELAY 3 and 4 to the screen Connect RELAY 5 and 6 to the blinds Connect RELAY 7 and 8 to the lighting system 2.
5. Connect the RS-232 ports as follows: Connect RS-232 port 1 to the projector Connect RS-232 port 3 to the plasma display 6. Connect the RS-485 to several Kramer matrices, for example (not shown in Figure 2). 7. Connect the Ethernet port to a network. 8. Connect the K-NET port to any RC device with K-NET.
4.1 Using the RC-4 IR transmitter You can use up to two optional RC-4 IR transmitters as auxiliary control panels and initiate configured control triggers—refer to the K-Config guide—via the built in IR receiver on the front panel, and/or via the optional external IR receiver (C- A35M/IRR) that exists in several cable lengths. 4.2 IR Input Functionality The SL-12 front panel includes one built-in receiver and two IR inputs on 3.5mm jacks (shown in Figure 3) for control via the RC-4.
Operation in K-Config An external IR receiver is connected to IR Input 2: One RC-4 controls the unit through the built-in receiver and a second RC-4 unit controls the unit through the IR Input 2 external IR receiver: Define IR-1 – RC-4 as the auxiliary device for the built-in receiver and set the triggers ON Status 1 F OF RCE 2 OU NU S ME S 3 K BAC 4 R TE EN LE TIT C A ES L VO + B UTE C M - IR-1 RC-4 4 ES D F OF SO URC 3 TITL E IR-2 RC-4 C 2 ON ES R TE EN 1 + VO N
Figure 4: RS-232 Connection 4.4 Connecting the RS-485 Interface To connect an AV device to the SL-12 using the RS-485 port, connect the RS-485 port on your device to the RS-485 terminal block on the rear panel of the SL-12 as shown in Figure 5: Figure 5: RS-485 Connection 4.5 Connecting the Ethernet Port The Ethernet connection of the SL-12 allows you to perform all control functions of the SL-12 over the Internet using a PC running the Kramer Site-CTRL control program.
2. At the other end, connect the Internet to a PC running Site-CTRL. After connecting the Ethernet port, you have to install and configure it. For detailed instructions on how to install and configure your Ethernet port, see the K-Config Guide Available for download at the Kramer Web site: www.kramerelectronics.com). 4.6 Connecting the K-NET Port The K-NET port is wired as shown in Figure 6.
6 Technical Specifications INPUTS: 4 RS-232, RS-485, 4 GPI/O and K-NET on terminal block connectors; Ethernet on an RJ-45 connector; 1 built-in receiver, 2 infrared on 3.5mm mini jack connectors; 1 USB for programming OUTPUTS: 4 infrared, 8 relays (36V AC or DC, 2A, 60VAC maximum on non-inductive load) and 4 GPI/O on terminal block connectors DEFAULT IP SETTINGS: IP number − 192.168.1.39; Mask – 255.255.0.0; Gateway – 0.0.0.
