Setup and Installation Checklist

Get ready

cFamiliarize yourself with the CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus matrix switcher BMEs.

cObtain IP setting information for the matrix switcher from the local network administrator. Read appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”.

Perform physical installation

cIf desired, create button labels (page 5-25)and replace them (page B-14).

cIf desired, install the switcher BMEs in a rack (below).

cSet the BME addresses.

cConnect the BME COMM interconnecting cables.

cCable input and output devices to the I/O ports (page 2-4).

cIf desired, connect the serial cable(s) to BME 0’s Remote RS-232/RS-422 port (page 2-9)or front panel Configuration port (page 2-13)and to the PC or control system.

cIf desired, connect an RJ-45 cable between BME 0's LAN port and to a PC or control system (page 2-10).

cIf desired, set the sync termination switches (page 2-5).

cConnect the AC power cables to all BMEs (page 2-12). Apply AC power to the BMEs and verify the BMEs power up normally.

cTest the switcher by creating a tie (page 3-14).

Ancillary operations

cInstall the Windows-based control program (page 5-2).

Mounting the Switcher

UL guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the matrix switcher BME into a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the matrix switcher in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = 158 °F , +70 °C) specified by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack- mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
