LOCAL/REMOTE ELECTRONIC SWITCHES
7. Put the Switch in the site you’ve selected.
8. Shut off the equipment you plan to connect to the Switch.
9A. SW980 and SW982 units only: Connect the cable from the “common” device
(the one that’s going to access—or be shared by—the other devices) to the
common connector (marked “C”) on the Switch’s rear panel. Connect the
cables from the “branch” devices (those that will share—or be intermittently
accessed by—the other device) to the branch connectors (marked “A” and
“B” [and “D” and “E” on the SW982]) on the Switch’s rear panel.
9B. SW981 units only: Connect the cables from the two “source” devices to the
connectors on the Switch’s rear panel labeled “A” and “B.” Connect the
cables from the “destination” devices to the connectors on the Switch’s
rear panel labeled “AA” and “BB.”
10. Remotely switched applications using terminated cable only: Plug the cable’s RJ-45
plug into the connector marked “REMOTE” on the Switch’s rear panel. Make
sure that the appropriate wires are attached to the appropriate pins in the
RJ-45 plug (refer to Tables 4-1 and 4-2 on pages 20 and 21). The ground of
the remote driver, or one side of the dry contact, must be connected to the
connector’s ground pin. The remote driver’s output(s), or the other side of
the dry contact, must be connected to the connector’s input pin(s).
11. Plug the Switch’s power supply into an AC outlet.
12. Turn on the attached equipment.
Your Local/Remote Electronic Switch should now be ready for continuous
operation, but test it to make sure it has been installed properly. See Chapter 4.
