To connect the serial port
The AV200R/AV201R receivers provide a single RS232 serial socket for use with
display control circuitry, etc. Where two connected displays both require serial
control, a special Y-cable is available (Adder part number: VSC19).
Note: The Y-cable is supported only when the AV200R/AV201R receiver is linked
to an AV204T or AV208T transmitter. If the receiver is linked to an AV200T
transmitter, only a single display may be connected to the serial connector of the
AV200R/AV201R receiver.
1 Attach the female connector of the Y-cable or serial device link cable to the
socket labelled on the AdderLink AV200R/AV201R receiver.
2 Attach the other end of the serial cable (or both ends
of the Y-cable) to the appropriate RS232 control
socket(s) of the display(s).
Note: The two male connectors of
Y-cable are labelled A and B.
These labels are important
and identify each
display for port
switching purposes.
Important
AdderLink AV200 transmitters and
receivers are supplied with power
adapters which provide a slightly
different voltage to those used with
other Adder products. Although
the AV200 power adapters appear
to be physically identical, they are
labelled as 5.3VDC (rather than the
usual 5VDC). Using a standard Adder
5VDC power supply will not cause
damage but will affect sound quality.
