Step 2.  Wiring and system checks

AVSI-SW1 only

The AVSI-SW1 contains four 2-terminal connectors. Depending on how these connections are used, the 
switch can function in different ways: 

• 

12V DC

 – Terminations for 12 VDC power. Apply +12 VDC to the upper terminal (marked "

+

"), and 

ground to the lower terminal (marked "

"). +12 VDC power is required to light the LEDs.

Output

• 

Jumper

 – A jumper wire placed between these terminals causes the LED associated with the 

switch position to light. With a jumper in place, the green LED lights if the switch is toggled up, and 
the red LED lights if the switch is toggled down. 

• 

Input

 – These terminals can be used to manually control a sensor input to a DVR. When the 

switch is toggled up, the terminals are "open". When the switch is down, the terminals are "closed" 
(shunted). Usually a DVR sensor input can be configured to control the recording mode of the DVR. 
These terminals are polarity independent. 

• 

Output

 – These terminals can be wired to the normally open relay output of a DVR for control of the 

recording indicator (red LED) on the faceplate, independent of the switch position. If used, when the 
relay output of the DVR is active, the red LED is lit. This connection has no effect on the green LED.

Interview Room Switch 

Quick Setup Guide

This setup guide for the Interview Room Switch includes two models: AVSI-SW1 and AVSI-SWF. The 
AVSI-SW1 is multi-functional device normally used to manually start and stop recording with a DVR. 
The AVSI-SWF is a fake (faux) switch with an illuminated indicator used to mislead an interviewee into 
thinking the session is or is not being recorded.

• 

Small slot screwdriver

• 

Screws and tools for mounting the wall plate 

•
