RS232 Control
The unit may be controlled using AMX or any other RS232 outputting system
as follows:
1. Connect the Tx output of the control system to the RS232 RX input on the
rear of the unit being careful to connect the signal and ground correctly.
2. Set the Protocol as follows:
Baud Rate- 9600, Data Bits- 8, No Parity, Stop Bit- 1.
The units can be linked together and individually addressed.
To link units together simply connect the all the RS232 sockets on the units in
parallel with one another.
The address of each unit is set by the HEX switch on the rear of the unit.
Input Switching
The following command switches input sources.
Each time the unit switches to a new input the following return code is
transmitted from the TX Port.
Full Interrogate
This command is an input query, and it returns the current input:
Sending this command:
The unit will return the following information:
Identity Command
This command is a model query, and it returns the model number.
Sending this command:
The unit will return the following information:
For example, if Byte 2 of the response is 0x01, then the unit is a 1600 model.
Video Pin Connections
