Captive Screw
The captive screw connectors allow you to cut cables to a suitable length, reducing cable clutter
while providing a more reliable connection.
Connecting
The captive screw connectors have
a contact bar that is adjusted to
compress the wire against the top
contact plate. Use the screws at the
top of the connector to compress
the wire against the contact plate.
When connecting the cables to the female captive screw connector it is important that the wires be
terminated correctly. The female captive screw connector has a contact plate at the top and must
have the wires touching it for signal to pass. When wired correctly
(see picture A)
the signal will pass,
incorrectly
(see picture B)
no signal will pass.
Female captive screw connectors are included: Power
(see picture 1)
,
RS-232
(see picture 2)
, and IR
(see picture 3)
.
The power cable
(picture 4)
will have
exposed wires. Each
wire is encased in
a different colored
cover.

Note:
The IR receiver and IR transmitter is optional for the UHD-SW-5000ED. The compatible IR receiver (AT-IR-CS-RX)
and IR transmitter (AT-IR-CS-TX) can be purchased through atlona.com.
The wires of the emitter and receiver have been marked to differentiate the pin outs.

The IR emitter
(AT-IR-CS-TX sold separately)
has two wires: signal and ground. Signal will have a solid
line and ground will be blank. The IR emitter will plug into the IR OUT ports.
There are two wires on the IR captive screw ready cable
(AT-LC-CS-IR-2M sold separately)
: signal and
ground. The signal wire is red and ground wire is black. The IR cable will plug into the IR IN ports
and connect to third party control systems.
