System 5ccr Plus 2 Chapter Two Installation Mounting the Switcher Cabling and Panel Views
Installation, cont’d Installation Mounting the Switcher The System 5cr Plus comes with two sets of mounting brackets. One set is for mounting the switcher under a table or on (against) a wall, and the other set is for rack-mounting. Table/wall mounting The table/wall-mounting brackets extend approximately 1/4” (6.3 mm) above the top surface of the System 5 enclosure, as shown below. This design allows for an air space between the enclosure and the surface on which it is mounted.
To wire the PC 1 audio input plug, follow the wiring diagram shown below.

If the System 5 has learned commands, it may send IR commands (such as a display mode change command) to the projector when an input is selected. 6 PC 1 and PC 2 — Press these buttons to select input 1 (PC 1, front panel) or input 2 (PC 2, rear panel), respectively. Both inputs accept only RGB computer-video and audio. 7 Input 3 — This button corresponds to Input 3 (rear panel), which can be configured to accept audio and RGB, or S-video, or composite video.
Setup and Operation, cont’d Setting Up the System 5ccr Plus The System 5cr Plus must be set up (configured) before it can control other equipment. Setup can be done from the front panel, or from a computer using the provided control software. Setup cannot be done via the IR 401 remote control or the SCP 100P control pad. Extron provides preset configurations in the form of projector driver files that can be downloaded from diskette or the Extron website.
Setting audio input attenuation levels Before setting the audio levels, ensure that all the audio input sources are active and connected to the System 5. To set the audio levels, see the following flowchart. ROOM POWER DISPLAY MUTE Setup (Config) Mode MODE At any point after entering the Setup mode, you can TX CONFIG RETRY Configure any feature in any order, or Wait 20 seconds to time out to Normal mode. CONFIG LED lights Press and hold all 3 DISPLAY buttons together for 2 seconds.
Setup and Operation, cont’d Initiating IR learning The System 5 can “learn” control commands from projectors’ remote controls. IR learning is only necessary if there is no IR driver available for that projector or if the driver is not complete.
To interpret the System 5’s response to the IR learning steps, see the LED response codes below.

System 5ccr Plus 4 Chapter Four Serial Communication RS-232 Programmer’s Guide Control Software for Windows
Serial Communication, cont’d Serial Communication The System 5cr Plus can be remotely controlled via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 connector. The control device (host) can use either Extron’s Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands or the graphical control program for Windows. The System 5 switcher uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
The error response codes and their descriptions are as follows: E01 – Invalid input channel number (the number is too large) E10 – Invalid command E13 – Invalid value (the number is out of range/too large) E16 – Unit is busy E23 – Checksum error. Using the command/response tables The command/response tables on the next page list valid command ASCII codes, the switcher’s responses to the host, and a description of the command’s function or the results of executing the command.
Serial Communication, cont’d The command/response tables use symbols (defined below) to represent variables.

Serial Communication, cont’d Control Software for Windows Installing the software The included graphical control software for Windows offers another way to control the System 5 via RS-232 connection in addition to the Simple Instruction Set commands. The control program’s graphical interface includes the same functions as those on the switcher’s front panel and some additional features that are only available through the Configure Unit screen of the Windows-based software.
Power-up/down delay, room relay mode, auto-set attenuators, RGB delay, and miscellaneous options are adjustable only via the Configure Unit control screen. Refer to the System 5cr Help program for details on setting these options. Power Up/Down Delay — This feature does not control the projector in any way. It simulates projector delays from 10 seconds to 5 minutes (adjusted in 10-second increments).
Serial Communication, cont’d Using the help program For information on program features, press the F1 computer key, or click on the Help menu from within the System 5cr control program, or double-click on the SYSTEM 5cr Help icon in the Extron Electronics group or folder. For explanations of buttons or functions, click on a link at the bottom of the main help screen to reach the Configure Unit or Executive Mode screens, or remain in the main screen.

Firmware Upgrade Installation In some cases the System 5’s firmware may require replacement with an updated version. The two user-replaceable firmware chips are U1, the main microcontroller, and U7, the carrier signal generator. Changes to firmware must be performed by authorized service personnel only. Follow these steps to replace firmware in the System 5. 1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the System 5 to remove power from the unit.
Appendix, cont’d 6. Insert the hooks into the slots, and squeeze the tool gently to grasp the chip. 7. Pull the chip straight out of the socket, and set it aside. 8. Align the slots of the new firmware IC chip with the angled corners of the socket in the same orientation as the old chip. 9. Gently but firmly press the chip into place in the socket. 10. If you are replacing both firmware chips, repeat steps 5 to 9 for the other chip. 11.
Latching — The System 5 room relay can operate in two modes: latching or momentary. In the latching mode, the relay remains active (latched) until it is manually reset (unlatched). Level — The relative intensity (strength, voltage, volume) of an audio or video signal. The output level can be changed by attenuation (a decrease relative to the input signal) or gain (an increase in the signal level). RGB delay — This is used in Triple-Action (video mute) Switching.
