About this Manual

This manual contains information about the Extron SW VGArs /Ars Series switchers and how to operate and configure them.

SW VGArs and SW VGA Ars Series Switchers

The SW VGArs / Ars Series switchers are two, four, or six input VGA switchers, each with a buffered output and 350 MHz (-3 dB) bandwidth (figure 1-1). They accept VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, and UXGA computer video input (the VGA Ars models also include audio input and output). The SW VGArs and SW VGA Ars Series switchers can also switch Macintosh signals when used with an optional Mac/VGA adapter (part #36-340-02).

The switchers are in rack-mountable, 1U high, half rack-width metal enclosures with internal, universal 100 - 240 VAC 50/60 Hz power supplies. All models have contact closure and RS-232 remote control capability through the 9-pin Remote connector (see “Remote connector” on page 2-9). The KP 6 wired remote control and the IR 102 Kit infrared remote control are optional remote controls. The KP 6 has a 25-foot cable. The IR 102 Kit has an operating range of approximately 30 feet.

Front panel buttons, a contact closure or RS-232 controller, or the autoswitching option can be used for input selection.

Features

• Up to two, four, or six inputs, depending on the model

• Input sensing (present or not present) and reporting on the RS-232 port

• 350 MHz (-3 dB) bandwidth

• Auto switch mode (button or remote selectable)

• 9-pin contact closure/RS-232 remote control connector

• Compatible with Extron VSW I AAP (VGA/Audio input module with the Show Me control button) (figure 1-2)

Mounting the Switcher

If you are going to connect VSW I AAP remote controls to one or more inputs, identify the version of the SW VGArs / Ars circuit board (to ensure that the VSW I AAPs will work with this version) and configure the switchers’ jumpers

. See “Identifying the Board Version and

Setting the SW VGA/Ars Jumpers” on page 2-10.

Rack mounting

UL guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the switcher into a rack (figure 2-1).

1 — 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 122 °F (50 °C) ambient temperature (Tma) specified by Extron.

2 — 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 — Mounting of the equipment in the

rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4 — 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.

— 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 Overview

To install and set up the SW VGArs / Ars Series switchers, follow these steps:

Turn all of the equipment off. Ensure that the video and audio sources (computers, stereos, tape decks or other devices), the SW VGArs / Ars switcher, the output devices (projectors, speakers), and contact closure control device are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.

Mount the switcher. See “Mounting the Switcher” on the next page.

Attach the cables. See “Rear Panel Features and Connections” later in this chapter.

Connect power cords and turn on the devices in the following order:

• Output devices (projectors, monitors, speakers)

• SW VGArs / Ars Series switcher

• Contact closure/RS-232 controller

• Input devices (computers, audio sources)
