Mo u n t in g t h e Sw it ch e r

To install and set up the SW VGArs / Ars Series switchers,

follow these steps:

If you are going to connect VSW I AAP remote controls

to one or more inputs, identify the version of the

SW VGArs / Ars circuit board (to ensure that the

VSW I AAPs will work with this version) and configure

the switchers’ jumpers before mounting the

switcher. See “Identifying the Board Version and

Setting the SW VGA/Ars Jumpers” on page 2-10.

Turn all of the equipment off. Ensure that the video and

audio sources (computers, stereos, tape decks or other

devices), the SW VGArs / Ars switcher, the output devices

(projectors, speakers), and contact closure control device

are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.

Ra ck m o u n t in g

If you are going to connect VSW I AAP remote controls to

one or more inputs, identify the version of the

SW VGArs / Ars circuit board (to ensure that the

VSW I AAPs will work with this version) and configure

the switcher’s jumpers. See “Identifying the Board

Version and Setting the SW VGA/Ars Jumpers” on

page 2-10.

UL g u id e lin e s

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines

pertain to the installation of the switcher into a rack (figure 2-1).

Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or

multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient

temperature of the rack environment may be greater than

room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment

in an environment compatible with the maximum 122 °F

(50 °C) ambient temperature (Tma) specified by Extron.

Mount the switcher. See “Mounting the Switcher” on the

next page.

Attach the cables. See “Rear Panel Features and

Connections” later in this chapter.

Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack

should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe

operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Connect power cords and turn on the devices in the

following order:

Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the

rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not

achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

•

Output devices (projectors, monitors, speakers)

SW VGArs / Ars Series switcher

Contact closure/RS-232 controller

Input devices (computers, audio sources)

Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to

the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and

the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on

overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate

consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be

used when addressing this concern.

Select an input using the front panel buttons, or the

contact closure or RS-232 controller.

The picture should now appear and sound should be

audible (SW VGA Ars models). If not:

Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-

mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular

attention should be given to supply connections other than

direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of

power strips).

•

Ensure that all devices are plugged in and receiving

power.

Check the cabling and make adjustments as needed.

Select a different input that is known to work to check

for a display and sound.

For optional rack mounting, mount the SW VGArs / Ars Series

All of the switcher models can be mounted under furniture,

on an optional RSU 129 1U Universal Rack Shelf

(part #60-190-01) or RSB 129 1U Basic Rack Shelf

(part #60-604-01) (figure 2-1). The switcher mounts either to the

right or to the left at the front of the rack.

such as a table or podium surface, using optional MBU 125

under-desk mounting brackets (#70-077-01). All models can

also be mounted through a table or podium, using optional

MBD 129 through-desk mounting brackets (#70-077-02).

Furniture mount the switcher as follows:

RSU 129 1U Universal Rack Shelf

Attach the mounting brackets to the switcher with the

NOTE: Using screws longer

than 3/16” will damage the

unit and void the warranty.

For through-surface mounting, cut the proper sized hole in

the mounting surface.

Use 2 mounting holes on

opposite corners.

For through-surface mounting, hold the switcher with the

attached brackets against the underside of the table or other

furniture. Mark the location of the screw holes of the

bracket on the mounting surface.

Fig u re 2-1 — Ra ck-m o u n t in g t h e sw it ch e r

If rubber feet were previously installed on the bottom of the

switcher, remove them.

For through-surface mounting, drill four 3/32-inch (2 mm)

diameter pilot holes, 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) deep in the

mounting surface at the marked screw locations.

Mount the SW VGArs / Ars Switcher on the rack shelf,

using two 4-40 x 3/16-inch screws in opposite (diagonal)

corners to secure the switcher to the shelf (figure 2-1).

For through-surface mounting, insert four #8 wood screws

through the bracket and into the four pilot holes. Tighten

all four screws to secure the switcher in place.

Attach a blank panel or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.

Insert the shelf into the rack, aligning the holes in the shelf

with those of the rack.

For under-surface mounting, insert #8 wood screws into

the four pilot holes. Tighten each screw into the mounting

surface until just less than 1/4 inch of the screw head

protrudes.

Secure the shelf to the rack using the supplied machine

screws.

For under-surface mounting, align the mounting screws

with the slots in the brackets and place the switcher against

the surface, with the screws through the bracket slots.

For under-surface mounting, slide the switcher slightly

forward or back, then tighten all four screws to secure the

switcher in place.

board installed in the switcher to ensure that it is compatible

with the VSW I AAP control panels.

On the VSW I AAP remote control, ensure that

jumper J6 is installed. Refer to the VSW I AAP manual

for details.

If applicable, disconnect all power to the switcher and any

attached devices.

These jumpers enable/disable VGA connector pin 5 (control) for

each input. Close (install) the jumper for a specific VGA input

to allow the VSW I AAP’s “show me” signal to select that input.

When an input is not connected via a VSW I AAP, that

input’s jumper should be in the default (open) position.

Each jumper, when closed (installed) allows the switcher to

receive the “show me” signal from the VSW I AAP on that

input’s VGA connector. When a jumper is open (removed) that

input cannot receive the signal.

Auto switch mode must be disabled when using the

switcher with one or more VSW I AAP remote controls.

If the auto switch mode is enabled, the input cannot be

selected using the “show me” function.

of a host device, such as a computer or control system, to an

closure device.

When a local event, such as a front panel operation or error

to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below:

The switcher issues the copyright message when it first powers

n = 0 indicates the video signal is not present. There are as

many ns in the switcher-initiated message as the maximum

number of inputs for the models (2, 4, or 6). For example, the

The RS-232 protocol of the rear panel Remote connector is

9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. The

connector has the pin assignments shown in figure 4-1.

For RS-232 and IR control, use a control cable with only pins 2,

3, and 5 connected. To accomplish this, either cut the wires to

the other pins in hard-shelled connectors, or remove the

unneeded pins from molded plugs.

Erro r re sp o n se s

When the switcher receives a valid SIS command, it executes the

command and sends a response to the host device. If the

switcher is unable to execute the command because the

command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the

switcher returns an error response to the host. The error

response codes are:

For contact closure, use a control cable with pins 2 and 3 NOT

connected. To accomplish this, either cut the wires to these pins

in hard-shelled connectors or remove these pins from molded
