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.
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.

● 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
● 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.

● Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s switch
308
● Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is
and when using its jacks and ports. Rough handling can lead
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.
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.
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 temper-
ature 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.

Important Notes When Installing
Cooling-fan Intake Port and Ventilation Port
This unit performs forced cooling by means of a cooling fan. Give attention to the
following points.
• Never block the cooling-fan intake port or ventilation port in the rear panel. Doing so
may cause the temperature of the unit’s interior to rise, resulting in malfunction caused
by heat.
• Clean away any buildup of dust in the intake port or ventilation port using a vacuum
cleaner or the like.
When Installing in a Rack
● This unit can be installed in a rack. When installing the unit in a rack, to ensure efficient
cooling, give attention to the following points.
• Ensure that the location provides good air flow and ventilation.
• Never block the cooling-fan intake port or ventilation port in the rear panel.
• Avoid using the S-4000D in sealed-type rack mounts. As this type of rack does not
permit heated air within the rack to be expelled, the heated air is drawn into the
S-4000D as a result, thus preventing adequately efficient cooling.
• If the rack’s rear panel is not removable, ensure that a ventilation port or exhaust fan is
provided at the top of the rack’s rear panel to expel any accumulated heat.
• If the S-4000D is mounted in a portable rack, remove both the front and rear rack covers
before use to ensure that the S-4000D’s front and rear panels remain unobstructed.
• When installing the unit on a rack, detach the rubber feet from the bottom of the unit.
● Use due caution when mounting the S-4000D in a rack or other enclosure so you don’t
get your fingers wedged or pinched.

Notes to Observe in Using the REAC System
Concerning REAC Cables and Their Handling
The REAC cables used in digital snake systems employ computer network technology to
enable transmission of multichannel audio signals.
In very rare cases, however, noise may be generated when these systems are used in
certain environments. If noise is present, check the following points.
•
Ensure that cables used for REAC connections conform to the Cat5e (Ethernet Category 5)
standard.
