2.0 POWER SUPPLY
The SP205+ must be powered at 90÷240 Vac 50/60Hz using the cable
provided. The socket of the cable must be inserted in the related panel plug
to the left on the back of the unit.
The panel plug is equipped with a fuse
holder for 5X20 fuses. If the fuse blows,
replace it with one of the same rating
that’s 1AT.
All operations must be carried out by qualified personnel only,
who must be informed of the risks of electric shock.
In some countries, the plug of the cable must be adapted to local standard
types. The wires are coded as follows:
Brown PHASE Identified by the letter L, may be red
Blue NEUTRAL Identified by the letter N, may be black
Yellow/green GROUND Identified by the letter E, may be green
WARNING
A ground connection is compulsory

3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 Video section
3.1.1 Dual 1x5 distributor
To use the unit as dual 1x5 distributor with two sources, proceed as follows:
a) Make sure that all the units to be installed are OFF.
b) Set the switch on the front panel to the “DUAL 1x5” position
remembering that this setting acts not only on the video but also on the
audio.
c) Connect the first video source to one of the two IN1 connectors and the
second source to one of the two IN2 connectors.
d) If the input signal is not terminated at 75Ω, set the matching switch to
the ON position. If the signal is already terminated at 75Ω, set the
switch to OFF. The switch of input IN1 is located to the left of the
respective BNCs, that of input IN2 is located to the right.
e) The input BNC not used can be left free or can be used, if necessary, to
send the video signal to other units. In this case, remember that
termination at 75Ωmust be carried out at only one point of the chain,
preferably at the end of this. Therefore, in this case, the 75 Ohm switch
must be set to a OFF.
f) Connect the destinations to BNCs 1÷5 “VIDEO OUT” on both sections.
The BNCs at the top refer to section 1, those at the bottom refer to
section 2.
g) Power the SP205+ and other system units.

3.1.2 Single 1x10 distributor
To use the unit as 1x10 single distributor, proceed as follows:
a) Make sure that all the units to be installed are OFF.
b) Set the switch on the front panel to the “1x10” position remembering
that this setting acts not only on the video but also on the audio.
c) Connect the video source to one of the two IN1 connectors
d) If the input signal is not terminated at 75Ω, set the switch referring to
the IN1 input (located to the left of the related BNCs) to the ON position.
If the signal is already terminated at 75Ω, set the switch to OFF. The
position of the switch relating to IN2 is not significant in this operating
mode.
e) The BNC not used, relating to input IN1, can be left free or can be used,
if necessary, to send the video signal to other units. In this case,
remember that termination at 75Ωmust be carried out at only one point
of the chain, preferably at the end of this. Therefore, in this case, the 75
Ohm switch must be set to a OFF.
f) As the two IN2 connectors are not used in this operating mode,
connection of these is not significant.
g) Connect the destinations to the “VIDEO OUT” BNCs.
h) Power the SP205+ and other system units.
