Wiring the Captive Screw Connector

The 3-pin, 3.5 mm captive screw connector is used for optional

remote contact closure control of the YCS SW2 A and/or to

enable autoswitching between inputs connected to the YCS.

The following figure shows the pin assignments for the captive

screw connector.

Contact Closure

Pins 1, 2, and (ground) of the captive screw connector enable

input switching via a latching contact closure device. If you

want to select inputs remotely, you can connect a momentary

contact closure device to pins 1, 2, and of the rear panel

captive screw connector.
Momentarily short pin 1 to to select input 1; momentarily

short pin 2 to to select input 2.

N

If the contact closure inputs remain latched, front panel

input switching is disabled.

Autoswitching

You can set up the YCS to automatically select the active,

connected input. If both inputs are active, selection defaults to

input 2 (S-video). Autoswitching remains in effect as long as the

jumper wires are connecting the three pins together.
When autoswitching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on

the front panel lights, and the front panel input selection buttons

are disabled.
To enable autoswitching,

Insert the ends of one wire into pin holes 1 and 2 of the

provided 3-pin captive screw plug, connecting pins 1 and 2

together as shown in figure 2-14, on the next page.
