Installation and Safety Instructions

For Models without a Power Switch:

The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be accessible.

For Models with 110 / 220V Power Selector:

Caution: Before applying power to this unit, the voltage selector must be set to the appropriate setting to match local A/C line voltage. Improper setting of the voltage selector may cause damage to the unit and create a potential fire hazard.

The voltage selector is a round switch located next to the A/C power input connector which looks like this:

Using a straight slot screwdriver or small coin, rotate the selector to the correct position so that

the arrow lines up with 110 or 220 as appropriate for local power line voltage as indicated in the chart below:

Local A/C Voltage Voltage Selector Setting

110 ~ 120 VAC 110 220 ~ 240 VAC 220

For all Models:

No serviceable parts inside the unit. Refer service to a qualified technician.

For Models with Internal or External Fuses:

For continued protection against fire hazard, replace only with same type and rating of fuse.

DESCRIPTION

The IN3546R is a 6 input / 1 output stereo audio switcher designed to work in tandem with the INLINE IN3500 / IN3600 Series switchers. When input channels are selected on the RGB switcher, the IN3546R will automatically switch to the corresponding stereo audio input, adding audio-follow-video

capabilities to the RGB switcher. The IN3546R receives both power and switching commands from the attached IN3500 Series RGB switcher via a custom 15 pin control cable which is provided with each unit. While the IN3546R was designed to work in conjunction with an IN3500 / IN3600 Series RGB video switcher, it may also be used as a free standing stereo audio switcher if the appropriate power and contact closure signals are applied to the 15 pin control port (see Using the IN3546R in Stand-Alone Configuration).

Audio signals are routed passively through the IN3546R and the unit will accept any audio signal input level. All input and output connectors are terminated with RCA female jacks. Separate left and right attenuation potentiometers are provided for each input channel, allowing individual adjustment of output voltage over a range from 100% to 5% of input voltage.

COMPATIBILITY

The IN3546R will work with the following INLINE models:

IN3504 / IN3506 IN3526 / IN3526vi IN3554 / IN3556 IN3564 / IN3566 IN3574 / IN3576 IN3606 IN3654 / IN3656 IN3666

The IN3546R may also be used with auto-switcher models IN3584 and IN3586 if tally outputs are added to these models (factory installed option available through INLINE at time of order).

INSTALLATION

The IN3546R rear panel connections are shown in the diagram above.

1. Connect the audio signals from each source to the INPUT connectors (labeled 1 - 6) as required.

2. Connect the IN3546R OUTPUT to the input of the next device in the audio system (mixer or amplifier).

3. Finally, connect the IN9112 or IN9133 15 pin control cable between the control port on the IN3546R and the IN3500 / IN3600 Series RGB switcher contact closure port. This provides power to the IN3546R and a control link, triggered by the RGB switcher's tally outputs. The IN3546R will power up along with the IN3500 /IN3600 series switcher to which it is linked.

Consult the IN3500 / IN3600 Series manuals for more information about their tally output functions.

USING THE IN3546R IN STAND-ALONE CONFIGURATION

Some applications may require the IN3546R to be used as a stand-alone stereo audio switcher. Since the IN3546R normally receives power and switching commands from the attached RGB switcher, the

following procedure must be followed in order to use the IN3546R in a stand-alone configuration.

1. The IN3546R must be special ordered for stand alone operation. INLINE will make

factory modifications to allow for stand alone operation, which includes the addition of jumper J8. When J8 is closed the unit is set for 9V or 12V power input on pin 8. The unit cannot be used in conjunction with an IN3500 / IN3600 Series switcher when J8 is closed or damage may occur.

2. Power - The installer must construct a special power/control cable according to the pin out

information on page 5. The installer must also provide a 9 volt 300 mA (min.) power source to power the unit. The power from the 9V supply is applied to pin #8 on the IN3546R control port. The unit contains an internal 9V to 5V power transformer. Do not apply any voltage

to pin #9.

Switching - In order to select different channels, a control device must be wired to provide

latching contact closure between the ground pin (#7) and the appropriate channel selection pins. Example: In order to select input #2, provide a latching contact closure between pin #14 and pin #7.

OPERATION

The IN3546R is designed to switch up to 6 stereo audio signals. After hooking up all cables as described in the Installation section, the unit will automatically switch to various input channels, mirroring the channels selected on the attached IN3500 / IN3600 series RGB switcher. The IN3546R will power up when the attached RGB video switcher is switched on. When an input is selected either manually or automatically on the RGB switcher, the tally output will close the contact between the ground pin and the appropriate channel select pin on the IN3546R CONTROL port, latching on the corresponding stereo channel ( 1 - 6 ) as long as the voltage is applied.

The only controls on the IN3546R are the left and right audio attenuation pots for each input. These can be adjusted to vary the output signal voltage for each input as necessary. Please note the IN3546R is a passive switcher so these pots are for attenuation only. They work over a range from unity gain (voltage out equals voltage in) at the extreme counter-clockwise position to 5% gain in the extreme clockwise position with one complete rotation from stop to stop.

CAUTION: When adjusting the attenuation pots, use only the small adjustment tool included with the IN3546R or a small plastic TV alignment screwdriver, taking care not to apply too much force to the control pots. If a large handled screwdriver is used the pots may receive too much torque, resulting in damage to the controls. This type of damage is not covered by warranty.

ACCESSORIES INCLUDED

IN9112 Control / Power Link Cable - 15 Pin D Male to 15 Pin D Male, 18" long Adjustment Tool for Audio Level Attenuation Controls

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

IN9133 Pass Through Control / Power Link Cable - 15 Pin D Male to Double Headed 15 Pin D Male / Female pass through type connector allows external devices to control IN3500 / IN3600 Series switchers through the contact closure port while the IN3546R is attached. Cable is 18" long.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The IN3546R Stereo Audio Switcher is designed to offer problem free operation. There are no internal user adjustable or serviceable parts. If there are operational problems the following items should be checked:

1. Verify all input audio cable connections

2. Verify output cable connections

3. Check the connections on both ends of the IN9112 or IN9133 control/power link cable.

3. Verify that the attached RGBS switcher is ON.

4. Check the gain adjustment on the channel, making sure it is not set to minimum.
