(see www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-411X).
• Mount the unit in a rack using the recommended rack adapter
(see www.kramerav.com/product/VS-411X).
• 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 the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-211X. For best results, we recommend that you
always use Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to the VS-211X. VS-211X and VS-411X are identical
except for the number of inputs.

DIP-switch changes take effect immediately.
OFF (up) – Manual mode.
ON (down) –Auto-switching mode.
OFF (up) – Priority switching mode: the device switches the source with the
highest priority to the output.
ON (down) – Last connected switching mode: the last detected active source is
auto-switched to the output.
Off (up) – EDID Locked.
On (down) – EDID parameters are passed-through.
It is mandatory to keep set to OFF (up).
For optimum range and performance use the recommended Kramer cables available at www.kramerav.com/product/VS-411X
