Unplug the power to the unit and refer servicing to qualified personnel under the following conditions:

If liquid has been spilled or the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

If it does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed or if it exhibits a distinct change in performance indicating a need for service.

If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

Installation

Note: Make sure the unit is unplugged from the mains power source while making initial connections.

PC Connections

1.Connect the PC sources to the sockets labelled PC 1 & PC 2.

2.Connect the primary output to Output 1 and then if a secondary output is required, connect it to Output2.

3.Connect the audio sources for the PC inputs to the inputs labelled PC 1 & PC 2 in the audio block.

Video Connections

1.Connect the Composite and S-Video sources to the inputs labelled Video 1, Video 2 & Video 3.

2.Connect the corresponding audio input to it's socket in the audio block.

3.Connect the video display device to either the composite output and/or the S- Video output.

CAUTION: Do not connect a composite and S-Video input to the same input, this may damage the equipment. Only the video output should ever have both connections populated.

Audio Connections

1.If an auxiliary audio input is required then connect it to the input labelled AUX in the audio block.

2.Connect the audio output to the input of the chosen amplifier or other audio device.

Microphone Connections

The unit comes with an internal 12V supply for use as microphone phantom power. If this is not required or a separate phantom power supply is required then make sure the phantom power supply switch is set to the off position.

CAUTION: Make sure the phantom power settings are correct before connecting the microphone to avoid damage to equipment. Do not exceed 48v phantom power supply, exceeding this limit may result in damage to the equipment and create a hazardous situation.

If a separate phantom power supply is required connect it to the screw terminals labelled Power + and gnd.

Connect the microphone to the balanced input labelled Mic +, - and gnd.

Balanced Output Connections

If balanced audio output is required connect it to the screw terminals labelled balanced output left & right, hot & cold and ground.

Serial Control Connections

Connect the display device serial control to the screw terminals labelled Display Tx

&Rx.

For setting up the equipment and for remote control of the switch connect to the PC Comms Tx & Rx terminals.

The ground terminal is shared between the two connections.

Ensure to cross-connect the serial devices, so that TX goes to RX, RX goes to TX, and GROUND goes to GROUND.

Double check all connections before connecting power to the unit.

Configuration

In order to correctly set up the AVS-SL-PR-0201-0301 switch, download the Solecis Device Configuration Software from www.amx.com, then click on Support.

Once installed, make sure the switch is connected correctly to a PC serial port and then start the device installer software.

The software will scan the serial ports on the PC and find the attached device (FIG. 2).

Double click on the required port and the devices front control status will then be displayed (FIG. 3).

FIG. 3 Switch Status Monitor

FIG. 3 shows the PC control panel for the AVS-SL-PR-0201-0301, it replicates exactly what is seen on the front of the unit.

Clicking on a button on the screen will have the same effect as manually pressing the equivalent button.

Click on the Unit Address to change the value set for installation where multiple addressable units are required.

When the reset interface option is checked then every time the power supply to the unit is reset, it will initialise itself into the default mode of PC 1 selected with no mix, no mute and the mode set to AV.

Note: Refer to the Solecis AVS-SL-PR-0201-0301 Presentation Switcher Operation/ Reference Guide for details on configuring the unit.

Operation

Power On

This button turns the display device on, the button lights to show the current status.

Power Off

This button turns the display device off, the butt on lights to show the current status.

PC1 & PC2

These button allow input selection of the two PC inputs. The button lights to reflect the press.

Video 1, 2 & 3

Same as PC1 & PC2 but for the video inputs.

AUX

Same again but for the auxiliary audio input. This can only be selected in AV & Audio modes.

Mute / Blank

Blanks the video and mutes the audio in AV mode, blank in video mode and mute in audio.

Mode

Toggles between the three modes, AV, Video and Audio.

Volume Up & Down

Used to control the volume of the line level output. This control is a master volume control and thus affects all of the input volume levels but does not change the differences in attenuation. Therefore, once the input with the highest attenuation level reaches minimum volume, the volume cannot be reduced any more regardless of the current input level. The same applies for increasing the volume.

Mic Mix

When selected, the switched audio is combined with the microphone onto the balanced output. By holding the mix button for 2-3 seconds, the unit is placed in microphone volume adjust mode. The volume control lights will flash and at which point the volume buttons will now control the microphone volume level only. Holding the mix button in for a further 2-3 seconds takes the unit back to normal operation and the buttons stop flashing.

Mic Mute

Mutes the microphone input when selected.

Audio Breakaway

When the device is in audio breakaway mode, the input that is highlighted is the last button pressed, it does not necessarily reflect the full extents of the switcher’s current status.

For example if in AV mode that PC1 was selected then the mode was change to video mode and Video 1 was selected then video 1 would be displayed but the audio would still be set the PC1 and not be reflected on the display at all.
