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 the

video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we

have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!

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/PA-240Net or

www.kramerav.com/product/PA-120Net 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 neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

•Position your Kramer PA-240Net/PA-120Net 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.

Safety Instructions

Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.

Warning: Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.

Warning: Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical shock! Servicing by

qualified personnel only.

Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.

PA-120Net, PA-240Net –Connecting the PA-240Net

Connecting the PA-240Net

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your PA-240Net. After

connecting your PA-240Net, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

To connect the PA-240Net as illustrated in the example in Figure 1:

1. Connect the balanced stereo audio source to the AUDIO IN 5-pin terminal block

connector (for example, a Kramer Switcher/Scaler).

2. Connect the LINE OUT balanced stereo audio 5-pin terminal block connecter to a

balanced stereo acceptor (for example, an additional PA-240Net device).

3. Connect the Hi-Z OUT or Lo-Z OUT 4-pin terminal block connector as follows:

▪For Hi-Z connection: connect Hi-Z and COM terminal blocks to the + and –terminals

of a mono speaker (for example, the Galil 8-C ceiling speakers, daisy chained).

The speakers either output the left side (L+, L-) of the audio input or the stereo input

reduced to a mono signal (see Selecting Hi-Z Mono Settings on page 16).

▪For Lo-Z connection: connect the L+ and L- connectors to the left-side speaker and

the R+ and R- connectors to the right-side.

4. Set the Hi-Z/Lo-Z and 100V/70V DIP-Switches :

▪For Hi-Z operation: Set DIP-switch 1 to Hi-Z and then set DIP-switch 2 to 70V or

100V.

▪For Lo-Z operation: Set DIP-switch 1 to Lo-Z.

5. Connect the Dante RJ-45 connector to any available IP network.

6. If required, connect:

▪A PC via RS-232 , see Connecting to PA-240Net via RS-232 on page 8.

▪The ETHERNET port , see Connecting PA-240Net via the Ethernet Port on

page 9.

7. Connect the power cord (not shown in Figure 1).
