The CATS-2 is designed to accept a remote contact closure for each video input. When
the desired contacts are closed by a button or relay, the appropriate picture is selected. A
master timer is then activated that can be adjusted to guarantee that the picture remains
on the screen for the desired hold time. An internal contact is also closed that can be
used to activate a VCR, a door chime or any controllable external device.

Each switcher should contain each of the following items:

·Instruction sheet

·Power Pack

·Switcher

If the CATS-2K was purchased you will also receive a RJ12 6-6 wall jack and a 6-6 cable.

The CATS-2 Switcher is a 2 input, alarming sequential switcher with many quality

features:

Cable Requirements:

The cable run from the phone plate should not exceed 300 feet and it is recommended
that 24 GA wire or larger is used. Do not connect the wires for the alarm to any other

piece of equipment or voltage source as you may damage the inputs to the alarm circuitry.

If you provide the cable , it must have a reversal in wire. (Example).

If a RJ-12 6-4 cable and wall plate is used, the contact closure control for the VCR will be
disabled.

Note:

1) Some blocks are wired differently. It is important to follow the color code, not the screw
number on the block.

2) For RJ12, 6-4 there will be no white or blue wires for contact closure out.
