MATRIX SWITCH
4. Operation
There is no power switch on the Matrix Switch. The unit is powered on as
long as the wallmount transformer is plugged into an active AC source.
When the unit is plugged in, a tone will sound for one second to signify a
successful reset. After this, the Matrix Switch will establish any connections
that were present when power was last lost. The indicator LEDs on the
front panel will light as appropriate.
The keypad is located on the top of the unit, with keys labeled 1-8 (or 1-4)
above a column of four LEDs. Each LED indicates a connection between
that input port (1-8 or 1-4) and a particular output port (A-D). When you
press a key, the appropriate LED indicator will advance through the
sequence A, B, C, D, and off (off indicating no connection to any outputs).
When you press a key, the LED will skip any output port that is already
connected to another input port. A connection to an output port must be
disconnected from its input before connecting with another input. When
all four output ports are connected to input ports, no other connection can
be made without first disconnecting an input from an output.
When you press a key, the Matrix Switch emits a short beep.
Under normal circumstances, the Matrix Switch unit should not need to
be reset. If you do need to reset the Switch, unplug the unit for two full
seconds, then plug it back in.
NOTE
The Matrix Switch will reestablish any connections that were present
when power was lost.
