EXT3-TR Quick Start Guide
This guide helps you install and use your EXT3-TR for the first time.
Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/EXT3-TR to download the latest user manual and check if firmware
upgrades are available.
Step 1: Check what’s in the box
EXT3-TR 4K60 HDMI/USB Extender
Step 2: Get to know your EXT3-TR
The extender device functions as a transmitter or a receiver side per DIP-switch setting (see Step 4:Connect inputs and outputs).
USB HOST USB B 2.0 Connector
Connect to the USB host (for example, a laptop) to communicate with the USB
peripheral devices (for example, a smart board) connected to USB device ports on
either the transmitter or the receiver sides of the extender (see Step 4:Connect
inputs and outputs).
Lights orange when the USB host side is active
Lights green when the extender receiver function is active
Lights blue when an active HDMI input signal is detected on HDMI IN.
Lights blue when an output acceptor device is connected.
Lights blue an active signal is transmitted on the Tx LOOP port.
Lights green when the HDBT active link connection is established.
Lights green when the device receives power.
Connect to the HDBT RJ-45 connector on a paired receiver/transmitter device (for
example, a second EXT3-TR device).
Connect to an HDMI source.
HDMI Rx OUT/Tx LOOP Connector
Connect to a local acceptor.
Connect to an HDMI acceptor.
Connect to the USB local peripheral devices (for example, a USB PTZ camera).
When USB Host PC is disconnected, the USB signal and charging power for this
port are inactive.
Connect to the USB local peripheral devices (for example, a USB camera, a
soundbar, microphone and so on). When USB Host PC is disconnected, the USB
charging power for this port continues to be active.
IR 3.5mm Mini Jack Connector
Connect to an external IR emitter to control a local IR-controlled device from the
remote extender (for example, EXT3-TR).
Connect to an IR sensor to control a remote IR-controlled device connected to the
remote extender side (for example, EXT3-TR).
RS-232 3-pin Terminal Block
Connect to a controller device (for example, SL-240C) to control a remote device
via serial connection (for example, the remotely connected PTZ USB camera).
Sets the device behavior (see Step 4:Connect inputs and outputs).
Connect to the power supply.

Step 3: Mount EXT3-TR
Install EXT3-TR using one of the following methods:
• Attach the rubber feet and place the unit on a flat surface.
• Fasten a bracket (included) on each side of the unit and attach it to a flat surface
(see www.kramerav.com/downloads/EXT3-TR).
• Mount the unit in a rack using the recommended rack adapter
(see www.kramerav.com/product/EXT3-TR).
• Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature &
air flow) is compatible for the device.
• Avoid uneven mechanical loading.
• Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.
• Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
• Maximum mounting height for the device is 2 meters.
Step 4: Connect inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your EXT3-TR extender.
Wiring the RJ-45 Connectors
This section defines the HDBT pinout, using a straight pin-to-pin cable with
RJ-45 connectors.
For HDBT cables, it is recommended that the cable ground
shielding be connected/soldered to the connector shield.
To achieve specified extension distances, use the recommended
Kramer cables available at www.kramerav.com/product/EXT3-TR.
Using third-party cables may cause damage!
• All DIP-switches are set to OFF (up) by default
• All changes in DIP-Switches apply immediately, on-the-fly (no need to power cycle the device), except for
DIP-switches 1 and 2.
OFF (up) – Receiver mode is active.
ON (down) – Transmitter mode is active.
OFF (up) – Host is active.
ON (down) – Host is inactive (active on remote paired device).
OFF (up) – Pass-through the IR signal to or from the IR cable.
ON (down) – Add IR modulation (38kHz) to the IR output signal (applies only when the IR port is connected to
an IR emitter cable).
Off (up) – Normal operation mode is enabled (FW programming RS-232 is inactive).
On (down) – FW programming RS-232 is active.
Step 5: Connect power

Connect the power cord to EXT3-TR and plug it into the mains electricity.
Safety Instructions (See www.kramerav.com for updated safety information)
Caution:
• For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating for an external connection, located next to the terminal or in the User Manual.
• There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.
Warning:
• Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.
• Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.
