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:
• 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.
