Important notes
Warning
To ensure reliable use of devices and safety of personnel, please observe the following items in
the installation, use and maintenance.
Notes in installation
◆Do not use this product in the following places: Where exists dust, smoke, conductive dust,
corrosive gases or flammable gases; where exposes to high temperature, condensation or wind and
rain; where exists vibration and shock. Electric shock, fire, incorrect operation will also lead to product
damage and deterioration;
◆During screw hole processing and wiring, metal chips and wire heads shall not be dropped into
ventilation holes of controllers, which may cause a fire, malfunction or incorrect operation;

ventilation, including contact paper and other packaging materials, otherwise it may lead to poor
run-time heat, causing a fire, malfunction or incorrect operation;
◆Avoid wiring or inserting/pulling plugs in charged state, otherwise it may easily lead to electric shock
or cause damage to the circuit;
◆Installation and wiring must be solid and reliable, poor contact may result in incorrect operation;
◆For application in occasions with severe interference, shielded cables should be used to input and
output high-frequency signal so that anti-interference performance of the system could be improved.
Notes in wiring
◆All of the external power supply must be cut off before carrying out installation, wiring and other
operations, or it may cause electric shock or equipment damage;
◆This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. In order to avoid
electric shock, the grounding conductor must be connected to earth. Before connecting the input or
output terminals of the product, make sure that the product is properly grounded;
◆Once wiring is completed, foreign matters should be immediately removed. Please cover the
terminal covers of product before power connection to avoid electric shock;
Notes in operation and maintenance
◆Do not touch the terminal when power is on, or it may cause electric shock or incorrect operation;
◆Perform cleaning and terminal tightening when power is off, for these operations may cause
electric shock when power is on;
◆Perform connection, removal or other operations of the communication signal cables and the cables
of expansion board or control unit after power is off, or it may cause equipment damage or incorrect
operation;
◆Do not disassemble the equipment, so as not to damage the internal electrical components;
◆Always read the manual, after security fully recognized, changing the program, commissioning,
starting and stopping operations after security is fully recognized;
◆Button batteries must be replaced when the power is off. When you indeed need to replace the
button batteries with the power on, the operation should be performed by a qualified electrical

technician wearing insulated gloves.
Notes in product obsolescence
◆Explosive electrolytic capacitors: It may cause explosion when electrolytic capacitor on the circuit
board burns;
◆Please collect and process separately, it cannot be put in the life garbage.
◆Please process it as industrial waste, or process it in accordance with local environmental
regulations.

1) cross-connect method
Matrix and control computer is directly
connected via CAT5 crossover
cable.
2) through-connect method
Matrix and Ethernet switchboard or
concentrator is connected via CAT-5
straight-through cable.
2.5.8.2 Connection Method Description
of RJ45 Ethernet Port straight-through
Line and Cross-line
The system adopts CAT-5 (super 5-type line)
as wires, using RJ-45 connector (commonly
known as crystal head) of CAT-5 to connect
network devices. Standard twisted-pair
connection method is specifically regulated,
aiming to ensure the symmetry of cable connector
layout so that the interference between the cables
within the connector can be offset. Super 5-type
line in general has four pairs of wires twisted
together, with different colors.
There are two ways to connect twisted pair:
EIA / TIA 568B standard and EIA / TIA 568A
standard.

(S terminal, RCA head)

M5 Series Modular matrix switcher User Manual

2.5.13 DB15 male socket transfer cable
definition
VGA input board of matrix supports the input of
analog, composite video and component video; VGA
output board supports the output of analog, composite
video and component video. If users need input or
output component video signal, they need connect
DB15 male socket transfer cable (S terminal, RCA
head). The two kinds of connection are different, two
things should be noticed:
1. the connection of VGA input board: support VGA,
CVBS and YPbPr signal; when CVBS and YPbPr
signal are needed, only three lines of DB15 male
socket transfer cable terminal is useful. As shown
above, the connection of YPbPr signal is Y attached to
green line, Pb attached to blue line, Pr attached to red
line; For CVBS signal, green line is the right one,
signals can be recognized automatically, no setting is
needed (VGA input port can access three signals, but
one port can only attach to one signal a time).
2, the connection of VGA output board: support VGA,
CVBS and YPbPr signal; when CVBS and YPbPr
signal are needed, four lines of DB15 male socket
transfer cable terminal are useful. As shown above,
the connection of YPbPr signal is Y attached to green
line, Pb attached to blue line, Pr attached to red line;
For CVBS signal, only yellow line is the right one.
VGA or YPbPr signal output requires instruction
setting; CVBS output has always been on, no setting
is needed.
