Roland S-4000D User Manual
Owner’s Manual
Main Features
The S-4000D is a splitter and power distributor for use with the RSS Digital Snake System. Using this device
enables you to do the following:
*5100005229-04*
• It permits you to split the master REAC device’s input audio to a split REAC device.
• It enables you to extend REAC cables in lengths of 100 meters.
• This unit supplies power to REAC devices compatible with REAC EMBEDDED POWER.
This unit is equipped with 8 REAC ports that supply power to REAC devices compatible with REAC EMBEDDED
POWER.
REAC EMBEDDED POWER is a technology for using Cat5e cables to supply power as well as REAC audio signals.
REAC devices compatible with REAC EMBEDDED POWER can accomplish REAC communication and power
supply using just a connection via REAC cables, with no need to use an AC adaptor or AC power cord as the
power source.
This unit automatically detects whether a REAC device connected to a REAC port from 3 to 10 is compatible
with REAC EMBEDDED POWER. If the REAC device is found to be compatible with REAC EMBEDDED POWER,
this unit automatically supplies power to it. Power is not supplied if the device is not compatible.
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”
(p. 2), “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 3–4), and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 5). These sections provide
important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to
ensure that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, the
Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as
a convenient reference.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY
013
●
When using this device in an environment where
children are present, an adult should provide
supervision until the child is capable of following all
the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.
.................................................................................................................................
014
●
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
.................................................................................................................................
015
●
Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an
outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices.
Be especially careful when using extension cords—the
total power used by all devices you have connected to
the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the
power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord.
Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord
to heat up and eventually melt through.
.................................................................................................................................
016
●
Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center,
or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information” page.
.................................................................................................................................
026
●
Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower
vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides,
perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near
the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the
unit using a dry, soft cloth.
.................................................................................................................................
101a
●
The unit should be located so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.
.................................................................................................................................
102b
●
Always grasp only the plug on the power-supply cord
when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or
this unit.
.................................................................................................................................
103a
●
At regular intervals, you should unplug the power
plug and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust
and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also,
disconnect the power plug from the power outlet
whenever the unit is to remain unused for an
extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust
between the power plug and the power outlet can
result in poor insulation and lead to fire.
.................................................................................................................................
104
●
Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming
entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed
so they are out of the reach of children.
.................................................................................................................................

IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
301
●
Do not connect this unit to the same electrical outlet that is
being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an
inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave
oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending
on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power
supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may
produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate
electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between
this unit and the electrical outlet.
307
●
Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or
damage to speakers or other devices.
308
●
Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is
switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been
completely disconnected from the source of power. If you
need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the
POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power
outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to
connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is within
easy reach and readily accessible.
Placement
352a
●
This device may interfere with radio and television reception.
Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
●
Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or
while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you
should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater
distance from this unit, or switch them off.
354a
●
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or
otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat
can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
●
When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets
(condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or
malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this
condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it
to stand for several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
360
●
Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar
the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to
prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure
that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
Maintenance
401a
●
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or
one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove
stubborn dirt, use a cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft,
dry cloth.
402
●
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
553
●
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s switch
and when using its jacks and ports. Rough handling can lead
to malfunctions.
556
●
When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal
elements.
557
●
A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
559a
●
When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you
will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
