For more information about program features, you can access

the Help program in any of the following ways:

•From the Extron Electronics program folder or group, double-

click on the Universal Switcher Help icon.

•From within the Universal SW Control Program, click on the

Help menu on the main screen.

•From within the Universal SW Control Program, press the F1

The RS-232 connector provides a way to control the switcher

from a remote contact closure device. This is made possible by

using pins that are not normally used by the RS-232 interface.

The contact closure pin assignments are shown in the table on

page 3-2.

To select a different input number through the RS-232 connector,

momentarily short the pin for the desired input number to the

signal ground (pin 5). To force one of the inputs to be selected,

leave the short to signal ground in place. This overrides any

front panel input selection.

Momentary contact is 250 – 500 milliseconds.

Avoid contact with pins 2 and 3, which are used

with the RS-232 interface. Shorting these pins to

ground or to other pins on the RS-232 connector

could damage internal circuits.
