It is not recommended in large size systems to control a projector through the switcher. It is expected that a control system is available to control both switcher and projector or projectors independently. If a control system is not being used, the switcher can be connected to the projector and control commands can be passed through the switcher to the projector. Call Altinex for programming information.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

∙First, make sure, that power is connected into the power input connector and input power is within the range of 90-260 VAC.

∙Make sure that cables are connected properly and snugly. Please immediately replace any defective or damaged cables.

∙If an RS-232 connection is used to control the HOMERUN Switcher, then please make sure that the connection to each pin of the RS-232 port located on the back of the unit is described in Table 1.

∙In the Video module please make sure that the Input level of the Video signal RGB is 1.2 V p-p. In the Audio module the Input level of the Audio signal is 5 V p-p.

∙If the RS-232 control, or Front Panel CP-01,or Touch LCD CP-03control is not working or responding, please verify that the unit works through Back Panel switches F1 and F2. If the HOMERUN Switcher is working properly through the Back panel, please verify that control cable connections are connected to the control system, and sources and displays are properly connected.

∙If a control system is used to control the switcher through an RS-232 port, make sure that, there is at least a 50 ms delay between two adjacent commands being sent. Also make sure that all commands have a Square bracket ‘[‘ before and “]” after each command.

∙Please verify that the correct ID number is assigned to each unit. If a particular group of modules needs to be controlled then the unit ID number must be same for all the modules in that group. Unit ID number 0 will have the HOMERUN Switcher unit not respond to any command, while unit ID number 1 in the command will have all units follow the command.

If you are using RS-232 control for this unit, please follow connection instructions as described in the manual and verify operation with the downloaded software for PC’s from the
