• RSB 129 1U 9.5" Basic Rack Shelf (part #60-604-01)

UL requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the safe installation of the MSW on a rack.

. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a

closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the MSW in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) speciﬁed by Extron.

2. Reduced air ﬂow — Install the equipment in a rack so that

the amount of air ﬂow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so

that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to

the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable

grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

Mounting instructions

On the standard rack shelf, the MSW mounts in one of four locations to the rear of the rack or in one of four locations to the front of the rack.

. If they are installed, remove the feet from the bottom of the

MSW.

2. Mount the MSW on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16" screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the MSW to the shelf.

3. Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.

Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted

to a VersaTools shelf. Most 1U rack-mountable Extron products can be mounted on the standard shelf.

3. Slide the leads into the supplied captive screw plug and lock them, using an Extron Tweeker (small screwdriver).

4. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.

5. To verify the power cord’s polarity before connecting it, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

Alternately, an Extron PS 123 12 VDC, 3 amp power supply, (part #60-814-01), can power up to eight MSWs or other Extron 12 VDC devices using only one AC power connector.

Exposing more than the amount of wire described

above could allow the stripped wires to touch each other, causing a short circuit. This could result in the external DC power supply overheating and/or burning.

Stripping the wires to expose less than the recommended

amount causes them to slide out of the connector too easily, even if they are tightly pinched by the captive screws.

Do not tin the stripped power supply leads before

installing the captive screw connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and can be easily pulled out. They may also break after being bent several times.

The two power cord wires must be kept separate

while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

Using Simple Instruction Set (SISTM) Control

Host-to-switcher communications

The Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands consist of one or more characters per ﬁeld. No special characters are required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the switcher executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the switcher to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Switcher-initiated messages

When a local event, such as a front panel operation or error condition, occurs, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below:

The switcher issues the copyright message and the input selected message when it ﬁrst powers on. Vx.xx is the ﬁrmware version number.

Inn] The switcher sends the Inn message whenever the selected

input is changed using the front panel buttons. “n” is the input number.

RS-232 communication

Wire the RS-232 connectors as shown below.

Figure 3-1 — RS-232 connector wiring

This port has the following RS-232 protocol:

• 9600 baud

• 1 stop bit

• No parity

• 8 data bits

Error responses

When the switcher receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

Timeout

E01 – Invalid input channel number (out of range) E06 – Invalid input channel change (auto-switch active) E10 – Invalid command E13 – Invalid parameter

Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.
