PT-871xr Quick Start Guide
This guide helps you install and use your PT-871xr for the first time.
Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/PT-871xr to download the latest user manual and check if firmware
upgrades are available.
Step 1: Check what’s in the box
PT-871xr HDMI 4K Line Transmitter
We highly recommend using only Kramer UNIKAT cables with these products. If using 3
rd
party shielded CAT-6A cables, both ends of the
shield must be soldered to the connectors for the products to function properly. Do not use any jumpers, unshielded wall plates or mid-
span cable connections. These extenders are not compatible with HDBaseT technologies. Prior to signal extension, ensure that the
extension line cable is lying straight and not coiled.
Step 2: Get to know your PT-871xr

• Attach the rubber feet and place the unit on a flat surface.
• Fasten a bracket (included) on each side of the unit and attach it to a flat surface
(see www.kramerav.com/downloads/PT-871xr).
• Mount the unit in a rack using the recommended rack adapter
(see www.kramerav.com/product/PT-871xr).
• 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.
