Remote Contact Closure Operation

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.
