Installation
Installation Overview
Install an SW RGBHV Series switcher as follows:
1
Turn off the input and output devices, and unplug their power cables.
2
If desired, mount the switcher in a rack, under furniture, or through furniture.
See “Mounting the Switcher”, below.
3
Connect the input and output devices to the switcher (see “Cabling and Rear
Panel Views”, on page 2-7).
4
If desired, connect a computer, RS-232 control system, or contact closure
device to the Remote connector (see “Remote connection”, on page 2-9).
5
Plug the switcher and, if appropriate, the input devices and output devices
into a grounded AC source.
6
Turn on the input and output devices.
7
The image from each input device should appear on the output devices, and
you should be able to switch from one input device to another. If this does
not happen, double check steps 3 through 5 and make adjustments as needed.
Mounting the Switcher
Rack mounting the switcher
The SW2 switcher models are housed in half-rack width 1U high metal enclosures
that can be rack mounted with an optional RSU 129 or RSB 129 1U Universal Rack
Mount Kit or 1U Basic Rack Shelf (part #60-190-01 or 60-604-01). The SW4 and SW6
switcher models are housed in rack-mountable, 1U high, 17" wide metal
enclosures. The appropriate rack mount kit is included with the SW4 and SW6
switchers. Rack mount the switcher as follows:
UL guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation
of the switcher 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 switcher in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °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 (e.g. use of power strips).
