Installing and Cabling the PVS 407D Switcher
The PVS 407D may come already pre-mounted within the Extron PMK 560 Projector Mount Kit and the PVM 220 PlenumVault
Mount Kit.
However, if the switcher is not pre-mounted, follow the steps in the system installation guide, supplied with the complete
PoleVault, PlenumVault, or WallVault System. Alternatively, follow the steps in the relevant setup guide for the mounting kit
(PMK 560, PVM 220, WMK 160, or USFM 100). Connect the cables to the switcher as shown in gure 1 and detailed on page 2.
ATTENTION: The PoleVault signal transmission method is specic for PVS 407D switchers working with PVT digital
wallplates. DO NOT connect the input ports to an MTP or XTP system, or to an Ethernet/LAN or data transmission system.
NOTES:
• The PVS 407D can receive signals from PVT wallplates located up to 150 feet (45 meters) away.
• RJ-45 termination must comply with the TIA/EIA T 568A or 568B wiring standards for all connectors. The same standard
MUST be used at both ends of all cables (see the PoleVault System Installation Manual for details). The cables supplied
with the Extron PoleVault system are terminated to the TIA 568B standard.
• The use of shielded cable, such as Extron XTP DTP 24 cable, is strongly recommended.

Step 3 — Connect Remote Control, IR, and LAN Connectors
JRemote (RS-232/MLC) control port — Connect a cable between this port and an MLC MediaLink Controller
(see figure 2 on the previous page). The PVS switcher can be controlled via an RS-232 connection directly from a host computer,
a control system, or a MediaLink®Controller (MLC). The MLC provides remote control of input switching and volume. The RS-232
protocol is 9600 baud, 8-bit, 1-stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. See the MLC 104 IP Plus User Manual for full details.
NOTE: To power the MLC 104 IP Plus, wire it directly into the same power supply the switcher uses (see figures 2 and 3).
3
NOTE: Use only the supplied 12 V, 4 A or 12 V, 4.2 A power supply for this switcher. The PVS 407D power supply can
support a typical system: for example, a PVS 407D, 2 PVT Wallplates, 2 or 4 speakers, an MLC 104 IP Plus with an IRCM
DV+, and a VoiceLift Microphone system. If an additional SCP 104 is used, the MLC 104 IP Plus MUST have its own
power supply.
