SWITCHERS PRECAUTIONS / SAFETY WARNINGS • 1 Please read this manual carefully before using your MX2216RM Switcher. Keep this manual handy for future reference. These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your MX2216RM and to prevent fire and shock hazard. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings. • 1.1 GENERAL • • Unauthorized personnel shall not open the unit since there are high-voltage components inside.
SWITCHERS • cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Any changes or modifications to the unit not expressly approved by Altinex, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

SWITCHERS 4.6 POWER UP DEFAULT SET The front panel of the MX2216RM provides access to essentially all of the switcher’s capabilities. In addition to standard switching functions, the unit has control and switching functions that could be very useful in a variety of special applications. This function allows a user to select the channel that will be ON at power up. To select the default channel, press the selected channel switch and hold it for approximately 2 seconds until you hear a beeping sound.
SWITCHERS In addition to forward connection, the MX2216RM can be connected in a reverse direction. In this configuration one video source is selectively sent to each of the video monitors. This capability is referred to as bi-directional switching. In this configuration only one display device can be operational at any given time.

PIN No.
SWITCHERS The MX2216RM Switcher is also designed to send feedback commands from the switcher to the control system when the buttons on the front panel of the switcher are pressed. This command is designed to allow the MX2216RM Switcher to program each of the inputs to respond to a selected range of input commands. For example, if command [SET10104] is issued, then the following commands will select only Input 1: [I01O01], [I02O01], [I03O01], and [I04O01].
SWITCHERS With this configuration, the master unit has ultimate control over the slave unit. The following voltages apply for selecting the required channel: Input number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.4 CONTACT CLOSURE (ONE WIRE ANALOG) CONTROL The one-wire control is an alternative to a multiwire contact closure control. This control pin allows you to select different channels based on the DC voltage level on pin 7 of the 9 pin D connector. Internally, pin 7 is pooled up to 5 volts by a 10k resistor.
SWITCHERS The loop control pin has an internal 100k resistor to +5volts. This limits the number of switchers looped to a maximum of 10 switchers that are daisy chained together using this method. If you want to create an 11 by 1 switcher using two 6 by 1 switchers, the following commands must be used to control these switchers: More specifically, the output of one switcher is connected to INPUT 6 of the next switcher.
