Wiring the Captive Screw Connector

The 3-pin, 3.5 mm captive screw connector is used for optional remote contact closure control of the YCS SW2 A and/or to enable autoswitching between inputs connected to the YCS. The following figure shows the pin assignments for the captive screw connector.

Contact Closure

Pins 1, 2, and (ground) of the captive screw connector enable input switching via a latching contact closure device. If you want to select inputs remotely, you can connect a momentary contact closure device to pins 1, 2, and of the rear panel captive screw connector.

Momentarily short pin 1 to to select input 1; momentarily short pin 2 to to select input 2.

NIf the contact closure inputs remain latched, front panel input switching is disabled.

Autoswitching

You can set up the YCS to automatically select the active, connected input. If both inputs are active, selection defaults to input 2 (S-video). Autoswitching remains in effect as long as the jumper wires are connecting the three pins together.

When autoswitching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on the front panel lights, and the front panel input selection buttons are disabled.

To enable autoswitching,

1.

Cut two small pieces of wire to use as jumpers.

2.

Insert the ends of one wire into pin holes 1 and 2 of the

 

provided 3-pin captive screw plug, connecting pins 1 and 2

 

together as shown in figure 2-14, on the next page.

3.

Insert the ends of the second wire into pin holes 2 and 3 of

 

the captive screw plug, connecting pins 2 and

 

(3).

 

 

 

 

4.

Use an Extron Tweeker or other small screwdriver to

 

tighten the plug’s three screws, so that the wire ends

 

remain securely in place.
