Contact Closure Remote Control

The Remote connector also provides a way to select an input to the switcher using a
remote contact closure device. Contact closure control uses pins on the Remote connector
that are not used by the RS-232 interface.

Figure 13

shows the contact closure pin

assignments.

To select a different input number using a contact closure device, momentarily short the
pin for the desired input number to logic ground (pin 5). To force one of the inputs to be
always selected, leave the short to logic ground in place. The short overrides front panel
input selections.
