NOTES: • The cable used to connect the Remote port to a computer, control
system, contact closure device, or IR control kit may need to be modified
by removing pins or cutting wires. If unneeded pins are connected, the
switcher may hang up.
• For RS-232, Windows-based program, and IR control, use a control cable
with only pins 2, 3, and 5 connected. Otherwise, either cut the wires to the
other pins in hard-shelled connectors or remove the unneeded pins from
molded plugs
• See Simple Instruction Set Control for definitions of the SIS commands.
• See Windows-Based Program Control for details on how to install and
use the control software.
• For contact closure, use a control cable with pins 2 and 3 disconnected.
Otherwise, either cut the wires to these pins in hard-shelled connectors or
remove these pins from molded plugs. See
Contact Closure Control for
information on how to make a remote contact closure device.
