Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer RC-20TB single slot wall plate insert 2-Button

The RC-20TB can remotely switch the inputs of a machine via its remote contact closure
terminal blocks. For example, you can connect the RC-20TB to the REMOTE contact closure
terminal block connectors of the Kramer VS-162AVM 16x16 Audio-Video Router with Preview
Monitor (download the up-to-date Kramer user manual at: www.kramerelectronics.com ), to
remotely switch one of two inputs to the output by momentarily pressing button A or button B,
respectively.
In the example illustrated in Figure 2 two SID-H HDMI Step In Commander units are
connected to RC-20TB.
