4.

Enable or disable audio or serial distribution mute — If

 

desired, locate jumper J9 on the main board and shift the

 

jumper from the disable mute (S) (front) to the enable

 

mute (A) (rear) position (figure 2).

 

 

When J9 is set to the disable mute (S) (front) position,

 

 

 

 

the video mute has no affect on the DA’s audio or serial

 

 

distribution.

 

 

When J9 is set to the enable mute (A) (rear) position, the

 

 

DA mutes the audio or serial output when its contact

 

 

closure video mute is activated.

5.

Replace the top cover.

6.

Reinstall the six screws removed in step 2. If any

 

mounting brackets were removed in step 1, put them back

 

into position as you reinstall the screws.

7.

If applicable, reinstall the DA and reconnect all cables.

Installation

CAUTION Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.

The 1U high, half rack width MTP DA can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, mounted to a rack without a shelf, or mounted under a desk or tabletop.

Tabletop use

Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the DA. For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location.

Rack mounting

For optional rack mounting, do not install the rubber feet. Mount the DA on a standard or basic 1U 6" deep rack shelf (Extron part #60-190-10or #60-604-10) or a standard or basic 1U Universal rack shelf (Extron part #60-190-01or #60-604-01). On the Universal rack shelves, the DA mounts in one of two locations to the rear of the rack or in one of two locations to the front of the rack.

1.

Remove rubber feet if they were previously installed on

 

the bottom of the DA.

2.

Mount the DA on the rack shelf, using two

 

4-40 x 3/16" screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to

 

secure it to the shelf (figure 3 and figure 4).

3.Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) on the rack shelf.

4.Attach the rack shelf to the rack using the supplied bolts.

Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted on a VersaTools shelf. Most 1U rack-mountable Extron products can be mounted on the standard shelf.
