DESIGNER SOLUTIONS PRECAUTIONS / SAFETY WARNINGS 1.5 FCC NOTICE 1 • Please read this manual carefully before using your UT250-101 and keep it handy for future reference. These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your UT250-101 and to prevent fire and shock hazards. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings. 1.1 GENERAL • • Qualified ALTINEX service personnel or its authorized representatives must perform all service. 1.2 HANDLING • Handle the UT250-101 carefully.
DESIGNER SOLUTIONS 2 In addition to standard video and audio outputs, the UT250-101 also has a 4TP (4 Twisted Pair) output for each video output. These 4TP outputs can be used with a compatible Twisted Pair receiver, like the TP115-111, to transmit the video and audio signals over long distances to remote projectors or other multimedia presentation systems. The UT250-101 is an 8x4 Video+Audio Matrix Switcher designed to be mounted under a table as part of an integrated audiovisual system.

DESIGNER SOLUTIONS INSTALLING YOUR UT250-101 6 OPERATION Step 1. Decide how the UT250-101 will be controlled: using contact closures on the Output Select Controls, through computer control using the RS-232 input, using auto-switching, or all 3 methods. 7.1 MANUAL CONTROL 7.1.1 OUTPUT SELECT CONTROLS The Output Select Control inputs on the front of the UT250-101 allow 8 users direct control of video switching.
DESIGNER SOLUTIONS 7.2 RS-232 CONTROL 7.3 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS The UT250-101 has many advanced remote-control capabilities accessible through standard RS-232 communication. Control may be accomplished through a computer, control system, or any device capable of RS-232 communication. Each command consists of a function name and an optional unit ID. Unit IDs are required if 2 or more UT250-101s are to be controlled individually over the same RS-232 bus.
DESIGNER SOLUTIONS 2. [CLR] 5. [ON] This command resets the UT250-101 to the last saved configuration. This command turns on all outputs. Command Format: [ON] Command Format: [CLR] Example: Example: Send [ON] to the UT250-101 and all 4 outputs (1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B) will be enabled. Clear the UT250-101 by sending [CLR]. Any commands that were sent to the UT250-101 using the [...S] option will be recalled using this command. 6. [OFFmX] This command turns off one or more outputs.
DESIGNER SOLUTIONS 9. [InO*] Example: Send the command [AUTO*] to the UT250-101. If a video input signal is connected to any of the inputs, that signal will be connected to all the outputs. A valid video signal on Input 1 takes precedence over Input 2, Input 2 over Input 3, and so on. This command connects one input to all outputs. Command Format: [InO*] n = Input No. (m = # from 1 to 8) Example: Connect Input 1 to all outputs by sending [I1O*]. Input 1 is then connected to Outputs 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B.
DESIGNER SOLUTIONS Example: UT250-101 = Model number Send the command [AUTO2] to the UT250-101. If a video input signal is connected to any of the inputs, that signal will be connected to Outputs 2A and 2B only. A valid video signal on Input 1 takes precedence over Input 2, Input 2 over Input 3, and so on.
DESIGNER SOLUTIONS 20. [...S] 22. [SIDn] This command sets the UT250-101 to a new unit ID. When assigning multiple IDs to several units, connect only one unit at a time to the RS-232 bus. This command saves the configuration command being sent in memory. Send the command [I1O*S] to switch IN 1 to all outputs and save the setting. After power-up or [CLR], IN 1 will be connected to all outputs. Command Format: [SIDn] 21.
DESIGNER SOLUTIONS 7.4.
DESIGNER SOLUTIONS 8.3 NO RESPONSE Cause 2: The wrong output is selected. Cause 1: The unit is not recognized. Solution: Solution: Reset the unit by turning the system power off and then on again. Send the [STATUS] command to see if there is communication with the unit. If there is no feedback, see Cause 2. Check the status of the unit using the RS-232 commands in section 7. Verify the correct input-to-output connection is selected and enabled. If no sound is present, see Cause 3.
