TP-590T
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.
Lights orange when the device is enabled as an active USB host (see Step 4:
Connect inputs and outputs).
Lights blue when an active HDMI input signal is detected on HDMI IN.
Lights blue when an output device is connected to the receiver.
Lights green when the HDBT active link connection is established.
Lights green when the device receives power.
Connect to the HDBT IN RJ-45 connector on the receiver.
Connect to the HDMI source.
USB 2.0 Charging Connectors (3)

serial connection (for example, the PTZ USB camera that is connected to the
receiver).
IR 3.5mm Mini Jack Connector
Connect to an external IR emitter to control a local IR-controlled device from the
receiver side (for example, TP-590R).
Connect to an IR sensor to control a remote IR-controlled device connected to the
receiver side (for example, TP-590R).
Sets the device behavior (see Step 4: Connect inputs and outputs).
Connect to the power supply.

Step 3: Mount TP-590T and TP-590R
Install TP-590T and TP-590R 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/TP-590T and/or www.kramerav.com/downloads/TP-590R).
• Mount the unit in a rack using the recommended rack adapter
(see www.kramerav.com/product/TP-590T and/or
www.kramerav.com/product/TP-590R).
• 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 TP-590T and TP-590R.
Wiring the RJ-45 Connectors
This section defines the TP 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/TP-590T and/or
www.kramerav.com/product/TP-590R
Using third-party cables may cause damage!

• All DIP-switches are set to OFF (up) by default except for the TP-590R DIP-switch 1 which is set to ON
(down) by default.
• Any changes to DIP-switches 1 and 4 require that you power cycle the device. Changes to DIP-switch 2
apply immediately.
OFF (up) – Host is active.
ON (down) – Host is not active (TP-590R default).
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) – FW programming RS-232 is inactive (Normal operation mode is enabled).
On (down) – FW programming RS-232 is active.
Step 5: Connect power
Connect the power cord to TP-590T and TP-590R 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.
