How do I
control
several
switchers
with one
RS-232
card in a
control
system?
You can control multiple
switchers with one card at this
time. The unit does have ID
codes and can be
differentiated by the control
system. Call Altinex if this
requirement is important for
your system.

Can I use
contact
closure to
control the
switcher?
A special cable that plugs into
the RS-232 port and converts
contact closure into analog
control is available. This is
RC5204CC
cable is made by
Altinex on request.

Can this
switcher be
used
outside of
the United
States?
Yes, the
MX2206RM
uses a
universal internal power
supply, enabling it to be used
throughout the world. Please
make sure to have the voltage
setting in the correct position
and please make sure to use
the proper adapter cable for
the country it will be used.
Adapter cables for several
