Connecting the Control Cable
For use with the SmartPanel, connect the AFVP to the back of the Panel on the header labeled AUDIO
FOLLOW VIDEO SWITCHER EXPANSION with the included ribbon cable.
If it is necessary to extend the distance between the AFVP and the SmartPanel, the ribbon cable may
be extended using the SP Controls AFVP Extender (not included, part no. SP2-AFVP-EXT). The AFVP
Extender converts the intermediary cable to CAT5 and allows extension of the cable up to 50 feet.
It is possible to extend the cable by cutting and splicing an intermediate cable in-line. We do not recom-
mend extending the cable in this fashion, as the cable provides power to the AFVP and miswiring may
permanently damage the unit.
The AFVP can be controlled by other control systems or by computer via RS-232 or RS-485. See page
12 for more information.
