Step 1. Make sure that the MAX Switcher is in the
OFF position.
Step 2. Plug the 4-position terminal plug located at
the end of the cable into RS-232 Port 1
located on the top-right corner on the
backside of the switcher.
Note: Inserting the 4-positon Terminal
connector on RS-232 port 2 will damage
the receiver.
Step 3. Please put the receiver within a range of
the transmitter and within 30° angle for
optimum operation.
MAX Switcher
To enable the IR mode on the MAX Switcher,
press and hold the IR Control key (INPUT 8)
on the Front Panel while turning on the power
of the unit. The IR mode is now active. The IR
mode remains enabled on the MAX Switcher
until the unit is reset.
Please note:
1. When IR mode is enabled on the MAX
Switcher, neither of the two RS-232 ports
is available for manual control of the
switcher.
2. When IR-Control is enabled for the first
time, the first command sent through the
key will not work since it is used to initialize
the system. However, the MAX Switcher
will execute all subsequent commands.
3. At certain times, when using commands
INPUT 2>OUTPUT 2, the switcher may
switch the RS-232 function to port 2
disabling IR control. Pressing INPUT
1>OUTPUT 1 will not enable port 1 for IR
control again.
4. To cancel the IR control mode on the MAX
Switcher, please reset the unit by pressing
the RESET key for two seconds. The
RESET key is located in the
Projector/Switcher Control section of the
front panel.
5. Please note that once the IR-mode is
canceled, both remote controls through the
RS-232 ports are available in addition to
the manual control through the front panel.
To enable the IR-mode again, follow the
procedure mentioned above.
