INSTALLING YOUR SWITCHER 6

Step 1. Make sure that the window on the fuse is set to the proper AC voltage in your country. An incorrect setting can result in unit damage, which is not covered by warranty.

Step 2. Connect the power cord to the unit and plug it into the power outlet. Make sure that the power indicator LED is on.

Step 3. Connect the cables from the source to the input connectors and connect display devices, such as monitors or projectors to the outputs. Shielded, high quality coaxial cables are recommended for video cable runs.

Step 4. Verify that image on the display is perfect. The unit will operate successfully as long as all specifications are followed.

Step 5. Connect the Rx, Tx, and Gnd signals from the control system as per section 7.2 if the MX2226AT must be controlled remotely.

OPERATION 7

7.1 OPERATION FROM THE FRONT PANEL

The front panel of the MX2226AT provides access to essentially all of the switcher’s capabilities. It has three sections: input select, switcher functions, and output control.

7.1.2INPUT SELECT SECTION SELECTION OF INPUT:

When the buttons INPUT1 through INPUT6 are pressed, the corresponding INPUT will be selected. The LED on top of the bottom front panel will TURN ON simultaneously to indicate which input has been selected. When connected as a 1-in 6-out switcher, the outputs are selected through the INPUT SELECT section.

SET DEFAULT POWER UP INPUT:

This function allows a user to define which input will be selected at power up. To define the default power on the input channel, while turning ON the unit, press the desired channel switch and hold it for approximately 2 seconds until you hear a short beep. Turn the unit OFF and then turn it back on again. The LED of the selected input should be ON. For factory default the input is set to INPUT1.

7.1.2SWITCHER FUNCTIONS SECTION RESET:

This function allows a user to reset the switcher without unplugging the unit. Press the RESET button and hold it for approximately 2 seconds. When you hear a beeping sound, release the button. All LEDs on the front panel will flash simultaneously. The current connection of input to output will be lost and power up input will be loaded. The user-set defaults for SOUND and DEFAULT CHANNEL will not be changed by the RESET function.

ALL OFF:

This function allows a user to turn OFF the output of the MX22226AT. It is very useful when the MX2226AT Switcher is used in an application, where the display must be blanked periodically. Press this button to switch to a “no signal” condition. To resume Input Select switching, simply press the desired INPUT or the STEP function.

SOUND:

This function allows a user to have audible feedback when the buttons are pressed. The factory default is set to have audible feedback ON through to a beep. In some situations however, sound may be undesirable. To disable the beeping sound, press this button and hold it for approximately 2 seconds until a beep is heard. After the sound is disabled, to re-enable the sound, repeat the same procedure.
