Operation Manual IN3526vi - Composite / S-Video Switcher with Vertical Interval Switching
Installation and Safety Instructions For Models without a Power Switch: The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be accessible. For Models with 110 / 220V Power Selector: Caution: Before applying power to this unit, the voltage selector must be set to the appropriate setting to match local A/C line voltage. Improper setting of the voltage selector may cause damage to the unit and create a potential fire hazard.
Installations und Sicherheitshinweise Für Geräte ohne Netzschalter: Die Netzsteckdose soll in de Nähe des Gerätes installiert und frei zugänglich sein. Für Geräte mit 110 / 220V Spannungswähler: Achtung: Bevor Sie dem Gerät Spann ung zuführen, muß der Spannungswähler entsprechend der Spannung des lokalen Wechselspannungsnetzes eingestellt werden. Die falsche Stellung des Spannungswählers kann eine Beschädigung des Gerätes und möglicherweise ein Feuer verursachen.

1 DESCRIPTION The IN3526vi is a six input and one output switcher designed for composite or S-Video signals. The IN3526vi switcher routes one of several video source signals to an attached video recorder, monitor, projector or other video equipment. Users may select the desired input channel using front panel buttons or via remote control.
2 OPERATION FRONT PANEL OPERATION Input Selection The IN3526vi switcher provides seven front panel buttons that may be used to select the desired input channel or blank the output (no input selected.) Any time the unit is powered up, Input 1 is automatically selected. In order to select a different input, press the corresponding input button and the appropriate green LED will light to indicate the current active channel.
3 Control Parameters In order to select a channel, the channel select pin (pins 1 - 6 and pin 8) must be connected to Common (pin 7). The contact closures may be momentary or continuous (latching). However, if the closure is latching, it must be opened before another channel can be selected. Example: To switch to Input Channel #4, apply a contact closure between Pin 4 and Pin 7.
4 Using RS-232 Control The IN3526vi has an RS-232 ports which will accept serial commands from a control system, computer serial port, or any other device capable of sending out serial ASCII commands at compatible baud rates. All switching and most configuration and set-up parameters can be controlled using RS-232 commands. Communication Protocol: The baud rate is selectable from 1200 to 19200 baud.
5 ADVANCED SETTINGS The IN3526vi has features that can be of benefit in some applications. These features can be enabled/disabled via power-on or RS-232 (see those sections for more details.) VERTICAL INTERVAL SWITCHING Vertical interval switching can eliminate visual glitches when switching between different sources. This is accomplished by waiting and switching the input during the vertical interval when no image is being displayed.
6 POWER-ON SETTINGS The power-on settings set the IN3526vi for specific applications. The installing technician will generally set these settings when the unit is first installed and rarely changed. Power-On settings are selected by holding down a specific front panel button while applying power to the unit and holding the button for approximately 3 seconds. These settings are not selectable when the unit is already powered up (except through RS-232 commands.
7 RS-232 Operation Only Hold down the INPUT 3 button while applying power to the unit. The front panel and contact closure remote control will be disables. The only way to switch the unit is via RS-232 control. The front panel can be enable via RS-232 or by resetting the unit to Factory Default. Master Switcher Hold down the INPUT 4 button while applying power to the unit.

9 UNIVERSAL POWER SUPPLY The IN3526vi switcher employs a universal (switch mode) power supply which automatically adjusts to accept input voltages worldwide. Input voltages can range between 90 and 260 VAC and the frequency may range from 47 to 63 Hz. The power supply entry module uses an IEC standard male connector for power connection. U.S domestic units are shipped with a standard IEC female to Edison male power cable. Changing Fuses The power entry module includes a quick-change fuse holder.
