Installation, cont’d

To connect the switcher to the KP-10 wired remote keypad,
attach the keypad’s cable to the contact/manual remote
25-pin connector on the switcher.

To change the selected input to 1 on an
SW AR MX, SW AR MX HV, or
SW 6 Component switcher, remote connector pin 1
must be shorted to ground for less than 2 seconds.
If pin 1 is shorted for 2 seconds or longer, the mode
is displayed by a blinking LED, and the selected
input does not change.

IR-101 cabling

The Extron IR-101 infrared (IR) remote control is a hand-
held unit.  It communicates with all models of SW
switchers through an external IR detector that is connected
to an adapter.  The adapter connects to the remote
connector on the switcher’s rear panel, and it gets its power
from the +5 volts on pin 13.  (See “Remote control design
information” on page 2-16 for connector pin assignment
information.)

Figure 24 shows an optional IR-101 infrared remote adapter
connected to an SW 6 AR MX HV switcher.

Figure 24 — IR-10 infrared remote

To install the IR-101 remote control system, do the following:

1.

Power off the switcher.

2.

Connect the IR-101 adapter’s 25-pin plug to the remote

connector on the rear panel of the switcher.

3.

Plug the RJ-11 male connector into the IR-101 adapter’s

RJ-11 female connector.

4.

Position the IR detector for best reception of the infrared

light from the IR-101 hand-held remote controller
(limited by a 6-foot cable).

(Loop In).  Connect switcher B’s contact remote
connector pin 24 (Loop Out) to switcher A’s contact
remote connector pin 12 (Loop In).

For SW AR MX and SW AR MX HV switchers:  Connect

switcher C’s Loop Out connector to switcher B’s
Loop In connector.  Connect switcher B’s Loop Out
connector to switcher A’s Loop In connector.

Attaching remote control devices

The contact/manual remote connector provides a way to
control the switcher using contact closure devices such as
the following:

• Extron KP-10 wired remote keypad (see below)

• Extron IR-101 infrared remote (see the next page)

• Third-party remote controls (see page 2-16)

• Extron RS-232 2-4-6-8 contact closure adapter and a host

device/computer (SW AR

xi

 and SW AR HV

x

i

switchers only).  See page 3-3 for cabling information,
and page 3-4 for software information.

• RS-232 port and a host computer (SW AR MX,

SW AR MX HV, and SW 6 Composite switchers
only).  See page 4-8 for cabling and software
information.
