Parts Checklist When unpacking your Lattis system, ensure that you have received the following: • Lattis Matrix Switcher (LE-800A, LE-800AV, LE-1600A) • 12 VDC, 800 mA AC Adapter • Owner’s Manual Other components you may need: • Vaux RC-8-IR infrared remote control(s) • Infrared repeater system • Keypad control system • Source components, zone power amplifiers, speakers • Audio/Video connecting cables • RS-232 connecting cable • • Installation The Lattis Matrix Switcher is quite flexible, in that it can in
RC-8-IR Remote Control The Vaux RC-8-IR Remote Control may be used to operate the Lattis Matrix Switcher. When the batteries are first installed, the remote control will use Òfactory settingsÓ for the programmable features it stores. Upon battery insertion, the red light flashes twice to indicate that the factory settings have been loaded. The user may at any time change these settings.
VauxProtocol Commands & Messages (RS-232) Connection of a computer or control system to the VC-232 serial port allows you to fully control the system using a selection of Commands, and to obtain immediate feedback on system status by listening to Messages. This Command/Message language is called VauxProtocol. VauxProtocol Commands begin with an asterisk (*), followed by two letters, then one or more comma-delimited decimal number parameters, and finally a carriage-return and/or line-feed char (CR/LF).
Control-Command & Status-Message Summary: • • • • For zones 1 to 255, Status-Messages are sent in response to Control-Commands. Many commands return the same status message – simplifying message parsing programming. For zone 0 (all zones), no messages returned (multiple controllers would be responding together). Note that volume/bass/treble/mute commands will only affect zones that are not off, even if the requested zone is 0.
Request-Command & Status-Message Summary: Status-Message are sent in response to above Control-Commands, but system status may also be determined at any time (by polling) using these optional Request-Commands (zon=0 not allowed).
Command/Message Parameter Notes: zon is zone 0 to 255 (0=all) (or 1 to 255, depending on command) (no !S mssg returned for zon=0 cmds) src is audio/video source ssa is audio source ssv is video source 0 to 8 (0=off) 0 to 8 (0=off) 0 to 8 (0=off) vol is volume (left and right) vvl is left volume level vvr is right volume level 0 to 32 (2-dB/increment) 0 to 32 (2-dB/increment) 0 to 32 (2-dB/increment) 32 0 dB (max/passthrough volume level) 31 -2 dB 30 -4 dB ...

VC-232 Serial Port (EIA/RS-232) The VC-232 Port is designed to connect directly to any computer or control system which has a standard RS-232 serial port. For the record, instead of RS-232 (RS stands for Recommended Standard), the proper term is actually EIA-232 or EIA/TIA-232 (for the standards bodies concerned). However, the EIA/TIA designation never really caught on, and virtually everyone retains the RS-232 terminology.
Maintenance and Service Vaux systems are designed to be maintenance-free, but do contain sensitive electronic parts. Avoid rough treatment to assure best performance. If you must ship the system, use the original packaging (or equivalent) for protection. The enclosures may be cleaned with a soft, slightly-damp soft cloth. Never use detergents, excess water, treated cloths, harsh cleaning agents, or sprays. This product is to be serviced only by the manufacturer or its authorized service agents.
