Installation & Setup

Executing a Test Switch

Execute a test switch to verify the system is working properly before attaching all inputs and outputs. Aside from having signal cables (and a controller if applicable) attached, the system is ready to execute switches when it ships from the factory.

Important: The Precis SD ships from the factory with a default switch of Input 1 to all outputs. Before executing the test switch, you will need to disconnect the factory default switch.

The first two source and destination devices must be attached to the input and output connectors. (For specific connector information, see “Attaching Inputs & Outputs” on page 24). After the devices are connected, power must be applied to the enclosure first and then to the devices before executing a test switch.

You can execute a test switch from the following: Control panel

AMX control device

Control software such as APControl 3.0 or APWeb

BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands over an external controller An external third-party controller

Executing a Test Switch

Before executing the test switch, make sure the first two source devices and the first two destination devices are connected to the correct input and output connectors.

Important: RGBHV signals require multiple input or output connectors (see page 25). All of the signal cables for an RGBHV signal (and audio if applicable) must be attached before executing the test switch.
