The Kramer RC-20TB 2-Button Contact Closure Switch 
Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer RC-20TB single slot wall plate insert 2-Button 
Contact Closure Switch which is ideal for using as a means of remote control in boardrooms 
and conference rooms. It can be used with the VP−81SID step−in switcher or any other  
Kramer product with contact closure control. 
The RC-20TB front panel has two momentary switching buttons (labeled A and B). On the rear 
are remote momentary contact closure terminal block connectors that connect to a remote 
switch terminal block connector. 
Figure 1 shows the RC-20TB front panel and the pinout on the rear:

The RC-20TB can remotely switch the inputs of a machine via its remote contact closure 
terminal blocks. For example, you can connect the RC-20TB to the REMOTE contact closure 
terminal block connectors of the Kramer VS-162AVM 16x16 Audio-Video Router with Preview  
Monitor (download the up-to-date Kramer user manual at: www.kramerelectronics.com), to  
remotely switch one of two inputs to the output by momentarily pressing button A or button B, 
respectively.

To connect the RC-20TB, as illustrated in the example in Figure 2 and Figure 3, connect the 
remote terminal block connectors on each SID-H machine to the A and B terminal block 
connectors of the RC-20TB. 
Momentarily pressing button A or B on the RC-20TB activates the STEP-IN process (allowing 
this machine’s input to be selected on the VP-81SID) in Machine A or Machine B, respectively. 
In the example illustrated in Figure 2 two SID-H HDMI Step In Commander units are 
connected to RC-20TB.
