Installation
The Lattis Matrix Switcher is quite flexible, in that it can integrate with a variety of A/V devices and control
systems, and may be configured a variety of ways. Installation of the Lattis Matrix Switcher is described below:
1. Switcher Power: Place the Lattis Matrix Switcher near your audio/video components. Turn off the
Lattis front panel switch and plug the AC power adapterÕs cable into the rear panel Power connector
on the Lattis Matrix Switcher. Plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet Ñ select an outlet which
is not controlled by a wall switch.
2. Optional Connection of Vaux Wired Keypads: If you are installing Vaux wired keypads, plug the Vaux
Data cable from the keypad connecting hub into the VC-Exp connector.
3. Optional IR Input from Repeater Systems or Keypads: Affix an IR emitter on the front-panel sensor.
4. Optional RS-232 Computer or Control System Connection: Connect your computer or control system,
using a properly wired RS-232 cable, to the 9-pin VC-232 connector on the rear panel of the Lattis
Matrix Switcher. For more information on the VC-232 interface, refer to a later manual section.
5. Connection of A/V Source components: Plug your Audio/Video source components into the Lattis
Source inputs using appropriate cabling.
6. Connection of A/V Zone amplifiers: Connect the Lattis Zone audio outputs to power amplifiers
appropriate for each zone. For video-capable switchers, connect the video outputs to video monitors,
or, for longer runs, to composite buffer amplifiers or video modulators. Run the speaker wiring and
video cables to each zone. NOTE: Do not use level-sensing amp-powering options Ñ low volumes
may turn the amp off.
7. Power-up the system: Turn on the Lattis Matrix Switcher using the front-panel switch Ñ a string of
front-panel lights indicates that the Switcher is running.
8. Install batteries in the RC-8 remote control(s). Three (3) ÒAAAÓ batteries: alkaline, Heavy-Duty
Carbon, or rechargeable Nicad batteries may be used. Please dispose of used batteries at a recycling
center. These batteries will last up to 1 year under normal conditions, depending on usage. Be certain
to observe polarity markings when installing batteries.
