SWITCHERS PRECAUTIONS / SAFETY WARNINGS rack mount ears DA1299RM and cables for optimum setup. To turn off the main power, be sure to remove the cord from the power outlet. The power outlet socket should be installed as close to the equipment as possible, and should be easily accessible. Do not pull the power cord or any cable that is attached to the MX2206RM Switcher. If the MX2206RM Switcher is not used for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. 1.
SWITCHERS ABOUT YOUR SWITCHER Using optional hardware, a single MX2206RM can be rack-mounted side-by-side. 2 The MX2206RM is a 6-in 1-out solid rate RGBS switcher with auto-switching and Sync Delay Switching capabilities. It can be controlled using its built-in front panel, through RS-232, or through the use of contact closures. Contact closure control requires the use of an optional adapter, part #RC5204CC.

SWITCHERS until one is found. Auto switching is only available when switching RGBS format signals. 4.1 FRONT PANEL The front panel of the MX2206RM provides access to essentially all of the switcher’s capabilities. In addition to standard switching functions, the unit has control and switching functions that could be very useful in a variety of special applications. 4.5 STAND BY / ALL CHANNELS OFF BUTTON This function allows a user to turn OFF all input signals.
SWITCHERS a 9-pin “D” connector. The output can switch from 0V to approximately 5.0V. The output impedance of this pin is 100 Ohms and it can sink or source up to 5 mA of current. By using this output, several switchers can operate in gang mode. To do this, the analog output of the master switcher (pin 9) is connected to the analog input of the slave switchers (pin 9).
SWITCHERS INSTALLING YOUR SWITCHER 6 OPERATION Step 1. Make sure that the power input is set to the proper AC voltage in your country. An incorrect setting can result in unit damage not covered by warranty. 7 7.1 RS-232 CONTROL The MX2206RM Switcher uses a female 9-pin HD connector on its rear panel that allows access to a variety of control capabilities. Step 2. Connect the power cord to the unit and plug it into the power outlet. PIN No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Step 3.
SWITCHERS The MX2206RM Switcher is also designed to send feedback commands from the switcher to the control system when the buttons on the front panel of the switcher are pressed. IBM PIN No. MX2206RM PIN No. 2 2 3 3 5 5 Connection of IBM-PC 9-pin D to MX2206RM 9-pin D. Note: 4, 6, 8 shorted together in IBM side only.
SWITCHERS This command is designed to allow the MX2206RM Switcher to program each of the inputs to respond to a selected range of input commands. 7.4 CONTACT CLOSURE (ONE WIRE ANALOG) CONTROL The one wire control is an alternative to a multiwire contact closure control. This control pin allows you to select different channels based on the DC voltage level on pin 7 of the 9 pin D connector. Internally, pin 7 is pooled up to 5 volts by a 10k resistor.
SWITCHERS The following voltages apply for selecting the required channel: Input number 1 2 3 4 5 6 min. (V) 0.35 1.07 1.80 2.52 3.25 3.97 nom.

SWITCHERS 6 7 8 respond? How do I control several switchers with one RS-232 card in a control system? Can I use contact closure to control the switcher? Can this switcher be used outside of the United States? TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE You can control multiple switchers with one card at this time. The unit does have ID codes and can be differentiated by the control system. Call Altinex if this requirement is important for your system.
