Main Features

The S-4000-SP is a REAC splitter for use with the RSS S-4000 Digital Snake System. Use of this REAC splitter enables you to do the following:

It permits you to extend REAC cables in lengths of 100 meters.

It allows you to split the master REAC device’s input audio to a split REAC device. In addition, the S-4000-SP also has the following features:

The S-4000-SP is made up of two independent 5 port splitters with independent power supplies. These two splitters can be used independently as dedicated splitters for the REAC device’s MAIN port and BACKUP port. This provides a fully redundant REAC connection system.

Two independent internal power supplies furnish power to each of the two internal splitters, enabling uninterrupted use in the event the power happens to cut out in one of the power supplies or if there is some other sort of power interruption.

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.
