accidental operation.

◆ Avoid conducting wiring and plugging in/out

cable socket with electricity, otherwise, electric shock,

circuit damage could easily happen.

◆ Installation and wiring should be firm and reliable.

Poor contact could cause malfunction.

◆ With regard to the application situations with

strong interference, shielded cable should be used for

the input and output of HF signal, to improve the

anti-interference performance of the system.

Note in Wiring

◆ Installation and wiring shouldn't be conducted

until external electric power is cut off, otherwise,

electric shock or device damage could happen.

◆ The product is grounded by the earth lead of the

power cable. To avoid electric shock, the earth lead is

necessary to be connected with the ground. Before

making connection with the output end or input end

of the product, please ensure it is correctly grounding.

◆ Upon finish wiring, remove the sundries. Please

cover up the terminal plate for avoiding electric

shock.

Note for Operation and Maintenance

◆ Please DO NOT touch the terminal when with

User’s Manual for MAX-1301HD-B Scaler Switching System

Chapter 6 General Trouble Shootings

When the peripheral device connected to MAX1301HD

has ghost image. E.g. Projector has ghost image or

unclear picture.

Possibly the VGA signal wire doesn’t have the terminals at

both end correspondingly connected or there is broken

circuit (short circuit) in the wire.

● Check the communication port configured by control

software to see whether it is corresponding with the serial

port of the device connected.

● Check to see whether the communication port of the

computer is in good condition, whether it is using correct

communication protocol.

Please check to see whether there is signal at the input

terminal (May use oscilloscope or multi-meter). If no signal

input, possibly the input wire is broken or the connector is

loose. Please replace the wire.

Trouble Solution

Color lost or without video signal output

Possibly the projector is not correctly fine-tuned or using

unqualified wire. Please adjust corresponding keys of the

projector, or replace the wire.

Remote controller cannot control MAX 1301HD Scaler

Serial port (generally referring to computer port) cannot

control MAX1301HD Scaler.

When MAX1301HD is switching, there is return code, but

without corresponding image output.

CREATOR Corporation China 2010-06 WWW.CREATOR1997.COM

● Possibly the battery is running out, please replace it.

● Possibly the controller is out of order, please repair it.

Possibly there is broken connection wire, please replace it.

If the panel keys, communication and remote controller of MAX1301HD Scaler are all out of control, possibly the host

has internal damage, please ask professional technician for maintenance.

response for operation

Output image is interfered Possibly the input or output device is not well-grounded.

When plugging A/V port, feel obvious static electricity.

LCD display is normal, and there is return code from

communication port, but without image or audio output.

Check to see whether the input power is in good contact.

Maybe the ground wire of the device is not well-grounded.

Please use correct way to ground to floor, otherwise, the

host would be easily damaged and have shorter lifetime.

Possibly the A/V port is loose, please replace it.

Possibly the wire is short-circuited, please replace it.
