SS 2.1 MLR/RJ Installation and Operation Manual
OVERVIEW
Product Overview
The SS 2.1 MLR/RJ is a transparent two input, one output RJ45 audio
switcher/router with mechanical latching relays. The SS 2.1 MLR/RJ is perfect for
all types of passive signal switching via front panel switches, contact closures and/or
RS-232 serial. The switching is accomplished with mechanical latching gold contact
relays, which means that the unit can route a signal in either direction. Due to the
passive nature of the switching, any input level and impedance can be used. Inputs
may be balanced or unbalanced, while output levels, impedance, distortion, noise,
and balancing will match that of the selected input. The SS 2.1 MLR/RJ can be con-
trolled and monitored locally and/or with simple contact closures to ground, as well
with multi-drop RS-232 serial commands.
Features/Benefits
• Front panel input channel selection push buttons with active channel LED indicators.
• Front panel “Mute” switch, with LED indicator, to turn off all audio to the output.
• Front panel “Enable” switch, with LED indicator, can be configured to provide a

multi-drop RS-232 serial port.
• Two SPDT relay outputs for remote channel status.
• Internal silence sensor with front panel LED indicator; separate SPST silence sen-
sor alarm relay, adjustable alarm delay and restore duration.
• Audio/signal switching via mechanical latching sealed relays utilizing 2-form-C
bifurcated - crossbar silver alloy with gold overlay contacts.
• Two shielded RJ45 audio input jacks and one shielded RJ45 audio output jack.
• Removable euro-block screw terminal connectors are used for remote control con-
nections. Necessary mating plugs are supplied.
• The power-up source selection feature allows the user to select which source is
active at power up, including the last source selected.

SS 2.1 MLR/RJ Installation and Operation Manual
INSPECTION/OPERATION
Inspection
Please examine your SS 2.1 MLR/RJ carefully for any damage that may have been sus-
tained during shipping. If any damage is present, please notify the shipper immediate-
ly and retain the packaging for inspection by the shipper. The package should contain
the SS 2.1 MLR/RJ, a RJ11 modular cable with 9-pin “S9” female D-sub adapter, and
a 9 to 12 VDC power supply. Manuals may be downloaded from our web site.
Installation
Surge Protection
The SS 2.1 MLR/RJ has built-in resistance to voltage changes; we recommend that
you use a power surge protector or line conditioner on the incoming AC line.
Lightning strikes and/or other high voltage surges may damage your SS 2.1 MLR/RJ
and connected equipment if it is not properly protected. For lightning protection
devices, check out www.polyphaser.com and www.itwlinx.com.
UPS Standby Power System
We recommend that you connect your SS 2.1 MLR/RJ to a UPS system. A UPS
helps minimize the risk to the SS 2.1 MLR/RJ and provides power during a power
outage.
NOTE: If power is lost, the last selected input channel’s signal will continue to
be passively routed to the output.
Installation/Operation
Input selection push buttons
Each input and mute can be selected via its front panel push button labelled “1”, “2”,
and “Mute” respectively. Each input push button has an associated LED indicator
which will illuminate when the channel is selected. When a channel is selected, the
previous channel is deselected (interlock). The enable (safety) push button can be
enabled to require the user to hold down the enable push button while selecting any
of the other front panel push buttons, the enable LED is illuminated when this func-
tion is enabled, see page 8 for more information.
LED indicators
• “PWR” LED: Illuminates when power is applied and blinks when serial data is
active. (Green)
• “Enable” LED: Illuminates when the front panel enable push button is enabled.
(Green)
• “SS” LED: Illuminates when output silence is detected (SS), if enabled. (Yellow)
• Channel (“1” & “2”) LED illuminates when the input channel is selected. (Green)
• “Mute” LED illuminate when output is muted. (Red)
Power
Connect the 2.1mm barrel type power connector into the unit and the center-positive
9 to 12 VDC domestic power supply into a 120 Vac 50-60 Hz power source. Never
use any type of powersupply other than the specified/supplied power supply.
Chassis Ground screw (CHS GND): The #6-32 sized chassis ground screw should
be tied to the station (house) or system ground.

RJ45 RJ45 RJ45
(J15) (J16) (J17)
Input sources that are NOT selected are terminated with 10K ohm resistors. If you
do not require this load applied to the deselected sources, they may be removed, or
a different value may be substituted for each channel. Each channel has a pair of
resistors: channel 1 = R1 & R2, channel 2 = R3 & R4.
If you are using the SS 2.1 MLR/RJ for applications other than switching analog
audio, the Silence Sensor should be disabled. To disable, remove the resistor net-
work RP2 from its socket.

SS 2.1 MLR/RJ Installation and Operation Manual
OPERATION
Remote Control Wiring
The SS 2.1 MLR/RJ interfaces with external equipment through two 6-position
removable euroblock screw terminals. The terminals accommodate wire sizes from
16 - 28 AWG solid or stranded wire. Before installing a wire, remove the euroblock
screw terminal plug and turn each capture screw fully counterclockwise. Strip each
conductor to a length of 0.25” and insert the conductor fully into the terminal. Turn
the capture screw fully clockwise to secure the conductor.
The remote-control connections to the switcher are labelled SW-1 (Input 1), SW-2
(Input 2), SW-3 (Mute) on the bottom row of the connector TB-1. Each channel may
be selected by a momentary or sustained (depending on the configuration) contact
to ground. Each channel is internally pulled high (5-volts) through a 22K resistor.
Relays
SPDT relay contacts are available on the top row of the remote-control connector
(TB-1) and pins 5-6 of the bottom row remote control connector. The relay K3 is
closed when with input channel one is selected, K4 is closed when input channel two
is selected, and relay K5 (SPST) is closed when silence is detected (if enabled).
Note: For wiring information, refer to the grid below, silk-screen text on the
rear panel of the product or the fractional schematic(s) in the appendix.

RS-232 Serial Port (RJ-11 Jack):
This RJ-11 jack is used to connect the SS 2.1 MLR/RJ to a computer’s COM port
for RS-232 serial operation using the included reverse modular cable with 9-pin
“S9” female D-sub adapter.
NOTE: If your PC does not have a built-in RS-232 serial port but does have USB,
then a USB-to-serial adapter cable is a good way to add serial capability. We rec-
ommend USB-to-serial adapter cables that use the FTDI chipset and have had good
results with the model “SBT-FTDI” from Sabrent.
CAUTION!

Connecting two or more SS 2.1 MLR/RJs to the Sage ENDEC Serial Port:
Multiple SS 2.1 MLR/RJs may be cascaded serially to operate from the same serial
port by assigning unique unit/station IDs to each SS 2.1 MLR/RJ.
Once the SS2.1 MLRs are configured properly they can be attached in parallel to the
ENDEC using a duplex modular adapter such as the Allen-Tel AT202-6 in conjunc-
tion with the S9 adapter and reverse modular cables. Plug the male end of the duplex
modular adapter into the supplied female “S9”, DB-9 to RJ-11 adapter, then attach
one end of the supplied reversed modular line cords into each of the duplex modu-
lar adapter receptacles and the other ends into each of the SS 2.1 MLR/RJ modular
receptacles. Three or more SS 2.1’s may be daisy chained by using the above
description and a 5-jack modular adapter such as the Allen-Tel AT150.
