INSTALLING YOUR SWITCHER 6
Step 1. Connect the power entry connector of
the MAX Switcher to the power outlet
with the provided power cord. The power
supply is universal and will work
throughout the world with voltages
between 90V-260V.
Step 2. Connect the cables from the video
sources (computers, VCR, others) to
available inputs 1 through 8 and connect
the display device (i.e. monitor or
projector) to available outputs 1 through
4.
CAUTION:
All video inputs to MAX Series are DC coupled
for best performance. Even though the video
inputs are fully isolated, verify with an
electrician that all of the grounding is proper
and that GROUND LOOP problems are
minimized. Severe Ground loop type
conditions can damage equipment.
MAXIMUM VIDEO INPUT: +/-1.2 VOLTS
MAXIMUM AUDIO/SYNC INPUT: +/- 5 VOLTS
Step 3. If a control system is used to control the
unit, connect the RS-232 port of the
MAX Switcher to the control system’s
RS-232 port as show in Table 1.

Make sure that the transmit pin of the
control system is connected to the
receive pin of the switcher.
Test the units outside of the rack prior to
installation to insure that you have
established communication.
If the connection is correct, both Rx & Tx
LED’s (located below contact pins) on
the selected RS-232 port will turn green.
If the connection is incorrect, LED’s will
turn red.
Step 4. Turn on the power switch. The unit is
now operational. You should observe the
power LED on the back panel “ON” and
the VIDEO or AUDIO switch LED light
on the front panel “ON”. You are ready
to either program your switcher or
perform switching from the front panel.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE DONE.

7.1 FRONT PANEL CONTROL
The MAX Series Matrix Switcher is designed to
perform a variety of functions using the front
panel control. All front panel switches have three
modes of operation: PRESS and RELEASE,
PRESS and HOLD and Power ON.
In PRESS and RELEASE mode the switcher
performs primary functions. Simply press and
release the button right after a beep. An LED
usually verifies the action.
