Installation
Important Note Before Starting
The Delano and the Hornet in wall receiver module (sold
separately) will only operate properly when all of the AC outlets
for the system and the displays in each zone are properly wired and
grounded.
Before installing anything, use an electrical outlet tester to verify
proper hot, neutral and ground wiring.
In the event your display has a two prong AC plug, it may be
necessary to connect the Hornet receiver’s bracket to AC ground of
the AC outlet. See the Hornet installation instructions for further
information.
The Delano Matrix Switch has vents on the sides of the chassis.
Although the Delano has no direct airflow requirements, do not
block these vents. It is OK to place other equipment directly on top
of or below the Delano.
The Delano is equipped with padded feet so it may be stacked on
top of other equipment without causing damage. In either case, to
avoid scratches, never slide equipment on top of one another. The
feet may be removed with a Phillips screwdriver to make the
chassis exactly 2RU in height.
Unpacking
The shipping carton for the Delano matrix switch will include the
following items:
1 – Delano Matrix Switch
1 – AC Power cord
1 – 6’ USB cable

6
Delano Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00022-A_NeoPro-Delano.doc)
1- 6’ RS-232 cable
1 – User’s Guide
1 – CD-ROM disc with USB drivers
1 – Pair of rack mount ears with screws
If accessories were ordered, the carton may also contain:
1 – IR remote control (optional)
Front Panel Protective Film
There is a clear film over the front panel to protect it during
manufacturing and shipping. Remove this film before using your
Delano matrix switch.
Inputs
Connecting source devices to the Delano can be done in any order.
All inputs have the same performance, so organize them as you see
fit. Just be sure to connect the video “Y”, “Pb” and “Pr” signals as
labeled on the rear panel.
Outputs
An output zone is made up of one Cat5 cable from the Delano. The
Hornet also has audio capabilities when used with the Concord
matrix switch, however with the Delano these features are not
utilized.
Output Cabling
In general, we have been referring to the cables as Cat5. The
minimum requirement for successful operation of the Delano
system is Cat5, but Cat5e is preferred. Cat6 may be used as long as
it is construct with 24 AWG wires. Most Cat6 is 24 AWG, but a 22
AWG variety does exist, and should not be used for this system.

7
Delano Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00022-A_NeoPro-Delano.doc)
Terminating the ends of the Cat5 cable can be done with either
TIA/EIA-568-B or A standard, so long as both ends are terminated
using the same standard. Below is the color codes for 568-B.
Although in some case of Ethernet where polarity of the pairs can
be swapped, with the Delano system each pair must be in the
correct order and polarity. A good practice is to use a cable tester
on each cable after termination to verify pin order before using the
cable.

RS-232 Serial
The serial port on the rear panel is labeled “RS-232”. It is wired as
a “DCE” device, which means it should be connected to a normal
PCs RS-232 port with a straight through cable. Connection to most

8
Delano Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00022-A_NeoPro-Delano.doc)
control systems should be with a straight through type serial cable,
such as the cable provided with the Delano.
For the command protocols, please refer to the manual entitled
“Integrator’s Guide to Serial Protocols”.
USB
If you plan to use the USB communication feature of the Delano,
connect the USB cable to the PC’s USB port (flat end), and the
other end (square end) to the Delano matrix switch.
Optionally you may choose to connect this cable later when you
are prepared to install the driver CD-ROM. Connecting the cable
will activate MS Windows plug and play wizard. On disconnect
and reboots, MS Windows will remember what COM port this
device was assigned.
Rear Panel IR
The rear panel connector labeled “IR” is for direct connection to a
control system. It is a 3.5mm 2 pin jack, and accepts unmodulated
IR. It is polarity insensitive, however normally the ‘tip’ is the
active signal, and the ‘sleeve’ is the ground.
Note: Some IR repeater systems are designed to work only with
their own IR blasters. Many integrators will cut these blaster cables
and add a 3.5mm plug on the end. In some cases this will work
fine, however some low end IR repeater systems will have too
much noise in their signal, and can prevent signals from being
properly decoded. Your results may vary.
Power
Once all the input and output connectors are in place, connect the
supplied power cable to the AC input. If you are not in North
America, you may use your own standard IEC320 power cable

9
Delano Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00022-A_NeoPro-Delano.doc)
with the Delano matrix switch. The Delano will detect whatever
voltage is supplied (from 90V to 240V AC), and adjust
accordingly.
Rack Mounting
The product ships with the rack mount ears detached from the unit.
This is to prevent damage to the chassis during shipment. Use the
supplied screws to attach the ears. The rack ears are universal, so
they fit on either side.
The chassis is a 2 rack units high only when the bottom feet are
removed. Removal requires a Philips screwdriver. Be careful when
turning over the unit as to not scratch the top paint.
Operation
Overview
The Delano is designed to be controlled form a third party control
system, either via RS232 or IR. The buttons on the front panel
allow the control of power and status feedback, however matrix
control must be performed from external sources.
Using the front panel
The 8x16 matrix switch’s front panel uses NeoTouch™
technology. This is different from many other front panels you
have seen with ‘membrane’ or ‘dome’ type buttons. The
NeoTouch™panel senses a human finger touching the acrylic
panel without any moving parts. For you, the user, this means that
you need not press hard to activate a button, a light tap will do.
Powering the 8x16 matrix switch on and off is accomplished by
pressing the power button. To prevent accidental power offs, two
button presses are required to shut down the matrix.

10
Delano Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00022-A_NeoPro-Delano.doc)
In the normal powered on mode, the Fallbrook and Gillespie will
display the last command received. This is helpful for
troubleshooting your control sequences. If the last command
attempted was not received properly or was not formatted
correctly, it will not appear on the display.
You can also use the left/ right arrow keys and the select button to
access the setup menu. The setup options will be discussed in the
next section. Generally when you are presented with a choice on
the display, pressing select will toggle through the choices.
Changes in the matrix switch performance or features take place
right away, so changes do not need to be saved manually.
Controlling from an IR remote control
Controlling the matrix switch using IR follows the basic sequence
of:
#, Out, # # – Standard sequence for switching. Note that the
output number is always two digits, so output 1 is represented by
“01”
Party Mode Shortcut:
To route a single input program to all outputs, also known as party
mode, use the select key followed by the desired input:
Select, # Sends input # to all outputs
Last Command Feedback
The normal display shown on the front panel display can be
changed to the command feedback screen. This screen will display
the last received command, and is very helpful during control
system programming and debugging.

11
Delano Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00022-A_NeoPro-Delano.doc)
To access this screen, use the the <(left arrow) or >(right arrow)
buttons either on the front panel or the IR remote until the Last
Command screen is displayed.
Setup Menu
The user setup menu is only accessible with an IR remote, not
from the front panel. The same settings can also be controlled from
the serial ports. Refer to the Serial Protocols document for more
information on the commands.
To start the setup menu, press “Setup” on the remote control.
Use the “Left” and “Right” buttons to navigate through the
different options.
Use the “Select” button to change any of the optional settings.
The menus are as follows:
Setup:Panel LEDs
This option will turn off all the front panel LED lights. The
matrix’s behavior is otherwise unchanged. The default in ON.
Setup:Disp Lamp
This option will set the display brightness to one of four levels.
The default is 100%.

12
Delano Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00022-A_NeoPro-Delano.doc)
Setup:AC Pwr
This option control what the matrix will do when AC power is first
applied, or after a power outage. Selecting “ON” (default) will
force the unit to turn on, and the previous switch state will be
restored. Selecting “Stby” will cause the unit to enter standby
mode.
Setup:Touchpanel
This option will disable the front panel buttons. The default in ON.
Setup:TouchSense
Setup:TouchDelay
These two options work together to control the front panel touch
button performance. The TouchSense setting controls the overall
sensitivity, while the TouchDelay setting controls the detection
delay, similar to a ‘debounce’ function.
If the buttons are falsely triggered by outside interference, setting
the TouchSense to “LOW” and the TouchDelay to “HIGH” will
likely remedy the situation.
If the buttons are difficult to press with smaller fingers, setting the
TouchSense to “HIGH” will improve the sensitivity. Setting the
TouchDelay to “LOW” will not change the sensitivity, but will
make the button response seem faster.
Any of the above selections will be applied instantly. There is no
need to save the changes. At any time the user may press exit to
return to the home screen, or wait 10 seconds and the home screen
will return on it’s own.

Care and Maintenance
The Delano matrix switch does not require any regular
maintenance besides keeping it clean.
Never use harsh cleaners or solvents on the Delano front panel.
There are several dusting products for electronics, and standard
glass cleaner may be used.
Spray any liquids onto a cotton towel first (never use paper towels
as they are abrasive), then wipe the front of the Delano with the
moist towel.
Should the Delano matrix switch fail to operate as expected, please
contact NeoPro for service advice. THERE ARE NO
ADJUSTMENTS OR USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
THE CABINET.
