Power

Apply power by connecting one or both power cords between the one or two AC power
connectors (depending on the model) and the AC power sources. The switcher performs
a self-test that flashes the front panel buttons several times and then turns them either off
or to background illumination. An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all control
buttons either unlit or showing background illumination.
The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is
applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact.
If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and fails to respond to
commands or button pushes. If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S3
Sales and Technical Support Hotline (see the

last page

of this guide for the phone number

in your region of the world).

Creating a Configuration

The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons. Change the current
configuration as follows:

1.

Press the Esc button to clear any front panel button indications that may be lit.

2.

Select the desired input and one or more outputs by pressing the input and output
buttons. Input buttons and output buttons light or blink green to indicate ties.

To indicate

potential ties, output buttons blink when an input is selected.

To indicate

current ties, output buttons light steadily when an input is selected.

3.

To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated lit output buttons.
To indicate

potential unties, output buttons blink when an output is deselected but

not untied from the input.

4.

Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie.

5.

Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create or delete additional ties until the desired
configuration is complete.

NOTES:

Only one input can be tied to an output.

If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output was
previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer tie.

If an input with no tie is selected, only the button for that input lights.

As each input and output is selected, the associated output button blinks to
indicate a tentative tie. Buttons for outputs that were already tied to the input
light steadily. Outputs that are already tied can be left on, along with new
blinking selections, or toggled off by pressing the associated output button.

If you press the input button for an input that is I/O grouped
(see

I/O Grouping

on page 27), you cannot select the output button for an

output in a different group. The associated input button remains lit.
