Rack mounting
UL guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines
pertain to the installation of as SW6 VGA Audio into a rack
(figure 2-1).
1. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) of +122 °F (+50 °C)
specified by Extron.
2
. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of the circuits 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) — Reliable earthing
of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as
the use of power strips).
Installation and service must be performed by
authorized personnel only.
Mounting instructions
For optional rack mounting, mount the 1U high, full rack width
switcher on either of the following rack shelves:
• RSU 129 9" 1U universal rack shelf kit (part #60-190-01)
(figure 2-1)
• RSB 129 9" 1U basic rack shelf (part #60-604-01)
Figure 2-1 — Mounting the unit on a standard rack shelf
1. If installed, remove the feet from the bottom of the unit.
2. Mount the unit on the shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16" screws
in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the unit to the
shelf.
3. Insert the shelf into the rack, aligning the holes in the shelf
with those of the rack.
4. Secure the shelf to the rack using the supplied machine
screws.

The SW6 VGA Audio switcher’s rear panel Remote connector
(figure 3-1) can be connected to the serial port output of a host
device, such as a computer or control system, to an Extron
IR 102 Kit Universal Remote Control, OR to a remote contact
closure device. Remote coontrol of the switcher is via Extron’s
Simple Instruction Set (SIS™), Extron’s Windows®-based control
program, the IR 102 Kit, or a contact closure device.
Figure 3-1 — Remote connector pinout
The RS-232 protocol of the rear panel Remote connector is
9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. The
connector has the pin assignments shown in figure 3-1.
For RS-232 and IR control, use a control cable with only pins
2, 3, and 5 connected. To accomplish this, either cut the wires
to the other pins in hard-shelled connectors, or remove the
unneeded pins from molded plugs.
For contact closure, use a control cable with pins 2 and 3 NOT
connected. To accomplish this, either cut the wires to these pins
in hard-shelled connectors or remove these pins from molded
plugs.
Simple Instruction Set Control
Switcher-initiated (unsolicited) 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:
(C) COPYRIGHT 1998, EXTRON ELECTRONICS SW6VGA
AUDIO, Vx.xx
]
The switcher issues the copyright message when it first powers
on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number.
Cn
]
The switcher issues the Cn message when a front panel input
selection operation occurs and immediately following the
copyright message. n is the input number.
Reconfig
]
The switcher initiates this message when there is a change in an
.audio gain setting.
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:
E01 Invalid input channel number (out of range)
E06 Invalid input channel change (auto switch mode active)
E09 Invalid function (mode) parameter
E10 Invalid command
E13 Invalid value (out of range).
Host-to-switcher communications
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.
SW6 VGA Audio • Remote Control
Timeout
Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII
characters result in a timeout. The command operation is
aborted with no other indication.

Contact Closure Remote Control
The Remote connector also provides a way to select an input
to the switcher using a remote contact closure device. Contact
closure control uses pins on the Remote connector that are not
used by the RS-232 interface. Figure 3-5 shows the contact
closure pin assignments.
Figure 3-5 — Remote connector pinout
To select a different input number using a contact closure device,
momentarily short the pin for the desired input number to logic
ground (pin 5). To force one of the inputs to be always selected,
leave the short to logic ground in place. The short overrides
front panel input selections.
IR 102 Infrared Remote Control
The optional Extron IR 102 kit consists of the following
components:
• IR 102 handheld remote control unit
• VersaTools IR 102 remote receiver with 3' cable and RS-232
connector
• IR detector with 6' cable and captive screw connector
• External 12 VDC power supply
Install and operate the remote control in accordance with the
IR 102 User’s Guide included with the remote.
