KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview
3 Overview
The IR repeater—the Pico TOOLS PT-4 iR or the Wall Plate WP-4 iR1 lets
you control up to four machines2 via their remote control transmitter from a
distance.
In particular, the IR repeater:
Can operate at a distance of approximately 75 meters3 (between the
controlled machine and the IR repeater)
Allows operation of machines that are stacked away in closets, cabinets,
and even other rooms
Has an IR sensor
Is 12V DC fed
To achieve the best performance:
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer PT-4 iR and
WP-4 iR away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit4.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
1 Available in three versions: one for the USA, one for Belgium and Germany, and one for the UK and most of Europe
(excluding Belgium and Germany)
2 For example, a video player, DVD player, air conditioning system, and any other remote controlled machine
3 By using the IR emitter extension cables (see Table 3)

To connect the PT-4 iR IR Repeater1, as illustrated in the example in Figure 4,
do the following:
1. Connect the OUT2, 3.5mm mini connector3 (from 1 to 4) to the following IR
receivers4 via the IR emitter cable (see Figure 3):
OUT 1 to a DVD player
OUT 2 to a video player
OUT 3 to an amplifier
OUT 4 to a plasma display
2. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity.
Figure 3: Connecting the IR Emitter
To operate any of the connected machines, use a remote control5 pointed to
the IR Repeater6 that is located at a place of your convenience. The IR signal
from the remote control is transmitted from the PT-4 iR or the WP-4 iR, via
an IR emitter cable, to the appropriate machine.
1 The same procedure applies to the WP-4 iR which is wall-mounted
2 You can connect up to four IR receivers
3 For the WP-4 iR, terminal block connectors are used
4 Stick the IR emitter to the IR receiver window (usually located on the front panel of the video player)
5 You can use a machine’s original remote control or a universal remote control
