DESCRIPTION
The AD2096A Alarm Interface Unit (AIU) is used with
American Dynamics Matrix Switching Systems to provide
automatic callup of a camera to a monitor when a specific
alarm switch/contact input is activated. Each AD2096A AIU
is set up to identify the matrix system video input and preset
scenes with which it will be associated. The AD2096A has the
capability to respond to 64 alarm inputs. The number of alarm
inputs can be increased by cascading multiple AD2096A units.

INSTALLATION
This installation should be made by qualified service personnel
and should conform to all local codes. Safeguards must be
taken to avoid unintentional operation by employees and
maintenance personnel working about the premises, by falling
objects, by customers, by building vibration, and by similar
causes.
Mounting
The AD2096A cabinet may be surface or rack mounted in any
convenient location with adequate ventilation. See Figure 2
for illustration of the mounting options.
• The AD2096A is shipped with mounting ears installed flush
with the front panel, and can be mounted to the front of a
standard 19" rack.
• The ears of the AD2096A can be removed and placed such
that they are flush with the rear panel. This allows the
AD2096A to be mounted to the rear of a rack that is
equipped with mounting channels.
• The AD2096A can be mounted to the wall by installing the
ears perpendicular the sides of the unit. The bottom or top
covers can face toward the wall and the front or rear panel
face upwards.
The AD2096A AIU is two rack units in height (3.5") and one
unit wide (19"). For proper ventilation allow at least three feet
(1m) from the rear of the racks to any wall and one EIA rack
height (1 3/4"/4.5cm) between units.

SETUP
Three 8-position DIP switches are used for AD2096A setup.
The first two switches, S1 and S2, are located on the rear panel
(see Figure 1, page 1). The top switch, S1, identifies the block
of 64 alarm contacts (out of a possible 1024) which are
connected to the AD2096A. The lower switch, S2, configures
the AD2096A for either Normally Open (NO) or Normally
Closed (NC) alarm contacts within each group of eight inputs
of the selected block. Each group may be set to a different
input type. The third switch, S3, is located internally on the
AD2096A PC board (see Figure 3), and is used to select the
RS-232 COM ports baud rates.
Tables 1, 2, and 3 show the switch settings which correspond
to each DIP switch. A user fill-in block is provided under each
table for the installer to record the switch settings.

connected to the AD2096A by referring to the applicable
system installation and operation manual. To change the baud
rate of either port, select the correct DIP switch position by
referring to Table 3 below. The two COM ports may be set to
different baud rates, as indicated in the table.

CONNECTIONS
Alarm Inputs
Eleven 12-pin connectors are provided on the rear panel of the
AD2096A for alarm inputs. A mating screw-terminal
connector, below, is supplied for each rear panel connector.
Each connector is labeled with an alarm number (1 - 64), an
"A", and a ground symbol. The "A" stands for alarm contact
and the ground symbol for ground. Each alarm input connector
contact open circuit voltage is 5.0 VDC. Closed circuit current
is 0.2 mA, and a normally closed condition requires less than
15K ohms between “A” and ground.
Connections are made by inserting alarm contact and ground
wires into the slots of the mating connectors and tightening the
hold down screws. When all wires have been connected, insert
the 12-pin connectors into the rear panel connectors.
Alarm Relay Output
The lower right connector on the rear of the AD2096A is a 12-
pin connector which provides access to both Normally-Open
(NO) and Normally-Closed (NC) contacts of an internal alarm
relay. This relay is active when any alarm input is received
(see page 4). The maximum relay contact ratings are: 0.25
amps current @ 30 Volts DC or RMS, and 10 VA power. A
mating screw-terminal connector is provided.
RS-232 Connectors
The two RS-232 COM connectors on the rear panel of the
AD2096A are 8-pin, modular type RJ-45 connectors. One (1)
8-pin terminal box 2113-0019-01 and one (1) 7-foot modular
cable 6003-0047-02 are supplied with each AD096A for
connections to these ports.
The RS-232 port labeled COM OUTPUT is connected to a
switching system input port or to another AD2096A AIU (see
Cascading, below) using the supplied modular cable when
distances between the units are no further than 7' apart.
For connection where distances exceed 7', or for connection to
an AD1995 MegaPower CPU, the terminal box is used. Table
4 gives the pinouts for the terminal box. The maximum
distance between terminal boxes shall not exceed 1000' (330m)
using 18 AWG shielded cable, Belden 8770 or equivalent.

2 Shield
3 No Connection

5 XMIT
6 No Connection
7 GND
8 No Connection
Cascading Multiple Units
If more than 64 alarm contacts are required, multiple
AD2096A units can be cascaded. If the units are within 7' of
the other, connect a modular cable from the COM OUTPUT
port of the last AD2096A unit to the COM INPUT port of the
next unit. If the AD2096A units are greater than 7' apart,
terminal boxes must be used for port connections. Refer to the
Typical System Connection for illustration of cascading.

OPERATION
Power Sources
Power is supplied via the appended 3-wire power cord. Power
consumption is approximately eight watts.
The AD2096A is configured for 120VAC, 50/60Hz,
primary power source. Operating power voltages must be
held within the 105V and 125V range.
The AD2096-1 is configured for a 230VAC, 50/60 Hz
primary power source. Operating power voltages must be
held within the 198V and 250V range.
Powering Up
The AD2096A AIU does not contain a power On/Off switch.
A green POWER LED indicator, located on the rear panel,
illuminates when power is applied. If an alarm input is
activated, the green ALARM LED on the rear panel will
illuminate.
The 120 VAC units are supplied with a pendant 3-wire cord
and plug for mating to the primary source outlet. The 230 VAC
units are supplied with a Euro-style IEC 320 type inlet. A
suitable, detachable cord should be connected between the IEC
320 inlet and power source. The cord should conform to all
national and local use code requirements.
Note: DO NOT CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT TO THE
POWER SOURCE UNTIL READY TO POWER UP.
THE SOCKET OUTLET SHALL BE LOCATED
NEAR THE EQUIPMENT, AND SHALL BE
READILY ACCESSIBLE.
Make all connections to the AD2096A Alarm Inputs and
Output Relay connections and set the DIP switches as
indicated on page 2 before applying power to the AD2096A.
Alarm Response Operation
Each alarm input signal is assigned an alarm contact number
(ACN) by the AD2096A. The setting of DIP switch S1 (see
page 2) determines the range of ACN’s for each AD2096A.
Depending on the Matrix Switching System capabilities, a
maximum of 1024 alarm contacts (ACN’s) can be programmed
for alarm event response by that system.
When an alarm condition exists, the AD2096A AIU detects the
closure (or opening) of the contact, depending on the DIP
switch configuration (S2, page 2). The AD2096A AIU then
issues an alarm message containing the corresponding alarm
contact number (ACN), via the RS-232 COM OUTPUT Port,
to the Matrix Switching System for camera callup to monitors.
When an alarm contact is detected, the AD2096A AIU also
activates an internal relay, providing both an output closure
(NO pin) and an opening (NC pin); this relay output can be
used to turn on/off lights, VCRs, etc. The alarm relay output
continues to be active until the alarm condition is removed.
Once the alarm condition is deactivated (contact is cleared),
the alarm relay is held for 10 seconds, then is deactivated.
Programming Alarm Contacts
Each alarm contact (ACN) input to an AD Matrix Switching
System is armed for camera callup on a specific monitor.
Individual camera inputs and camera salvos, each with preset
scenes and auxiliary actions, may be programmed for
automatic callup to monitors in response to alarm inputs.
When the switching system is armed for alarm contact (ACN)
inputs, the video input associated with the ACN is
automatically displayed when that alarm input is detected by
the AD2096A AIU and sent to the switching system. Refer to
the Alarm Programming sections in the appropriate Matrix
Switching System Installation Manual for the commands to
arm alarm contacts, monitors, and cameras.
