Installation and Operation

Installation Overview

To install and set up the SW2 VGA DA2 AF R for operation, follow these steps:

Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the video

and audio sources (computers, stereos, tape decks or other devices), the SW2 VGA DA2 AF R, the output devices (projectors, speakers), and contact closure control device are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.

Install optional adapter plates for pass-through A/V

connections. See “Installing Adapter Plates” in this chapter.

Mount the switcher. See “Mounting the

SW2 VGA DA2 AF R” in this chapter.

Attach the cables. See “Cabling” in this chapter.

Connect power cords and turn on the devices in the

following order: output devices, contact closure controller, SW2 VGA DA2 AF R switcher, and input devices.

Select an input from the front panel buttons or the contact

closure controller.

The image should now display, and sound should be

audible. If not, ensure that all devices are plugged in and receiving power. Check the cabling and make adjustments as needed. Select a different input to check for a picture and sound. See “Troubleshooting” in this chapter.

Installing Adapter Plates

The SW2 VGA DA2 AF R offers the ability to incorporate a variety of optional architectural adapter plates for pass-through audio and/or video connections. Each interface can hold up to two (2) adapter plates.

Blank plates (two double height plates) are included with the interface to cover unused spaces. Other adapter plates must be ordered separately.

The plates attach to the front and rear panels. Output cables attached to the front panel adapter plate pass through the switcher enclosure and out through the rear panel adapter plate. Some adapters require wires to be soldered to the rear connectors.

Adapter plates should be attached to the switcher and output cables attached to the plates before the switcher is installed in a

rack or in furniture. The screws for installing the adapter plates are built into the plates, so no additional screws will be needed.

CAUTION

Adapter plate installation must be performed by authorized service personnel only.

Follow these steps to install adapter plates.

1. Make sure that the power is removed from the switcher

by disconnecting the AC power cord from the unit.

2. Open the cover of the switcher (the top half of the

enclosure), as shown below. Remove the screws from the enclosure, and lift the cover straight up.

CAUTION

Do not touch any switches or electronic components inside the switcher. Doing so could damage the switcher.

front and/or rear panel, as shown in the following illustration. Attach the adapter plate(s) to the enclosure with the provided captive washers and #4-40 nuts.

5. Attach the adapter plate cables to the rear connectors of

the adapter plates. Soldering will be required for some connectors.
