5 CHAPTER 1: Specifications 1. Specifications Compliance — FCC Part 15 Subpart J Class A, IC Class/classe A Data Rate — Up to 256 kbps typical; higher speeds possible with careful consideration of cabling and equipment requirements User Controls — All models: Remote switching either through TTL, RS-232, RS-422/485, or other active drivers or [...]

6 LOCAL/REMOTE ELECTRONIC SWITCHES Remote Input Logic Levels — V IH greater than 2.5 volts, maximum +15 volts; V IL less than 0.5 volts, minimum –15 volts NOTE For dry-contact operation, the total external- connection DC resistance must be less than 240 ohms when the dry contact is closed for the Local/Remote Electronic Switch to correctly read[...]

7 CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction Switching between data lines manually can often damage the connected equipment, because this relatively slow and imprecise action can cause data-line surges and spikes large enough to damage today’s sensitive circuitry. With the Local/Remote Electronic Switches, you can eliminate this potential hazard. Th[...]

8 LOCAL/REMOTE ELECTRONIC SWITCHES 3. Installation and Configuration 3.1 Before Y ou Install Check the box and its contents before you begin installing your Local/Remote Electronic Switch. You should have received one Switch unit, one AC power supply, and one copy of this manual. If you didn’t receive all of these items, or if they have sustained[...]

9 CHAPTER 3: Installation and Configuration 3.2 The Setup Procedure Installing and configuring a Local/Remote Electronic Switch is relatively quick and easy, and will vary only slightly depending on which model you’ve chosen. Follow these steps: (Steps 1 through 4 are for remotely switched applications only:) 1. Make sure that the Switch is unplu[...]

Operation 4.1 Local Switching 4.1.1 ABC AND ABCDE S WITCHES (SW980 AND SW982 U NITS ) Refer to Figure 4-1 below: Test your Local/Remote Electronic Switch system by having the common device send data to, or receive data from, branch devices “A” and “B” (and, for SW982 units, “D” and “E”), one after the othe[...]

18 LOCAL/REMOTE ELECTRONIC SWITCHES 4.1.2 X S WITCHES (SW981 U NITS ) Refer to Figure 4-2 below: Test your Local/Remote Electronic Switch system by having each source device (“A” and “B”) send data to each destination device (“AA” and “BB”), one after the other. Switch between data pathways by manually turning the knob on the Switch[...]

19 CHAPTER 4: Operation 4.2 Remote Switching When you do remote switching, keep these things in mind: • The knob on the Switch’s front panel must be in the “REMOTE” position. • The Switch interprets any voltage more negative than approximately 1.4 volts as a “low” and any voltage more positive than approximately 1.4 volts as a “high[...]
