Wiring for RS-232 Control
The 5-pole, 3.5 mm Remote captive screw connector is used for optional RS-232
communication, such as firmware updates, and to enable auto-input switching between
inputs connected to the switcher.
Use a female 9-pin D to bare wire RS-232 cable or a universal control cable (UC50',
UC100', or UC200') to connect your computer or control system to the RS-232 pins of the
Remote connector.
