SW AR MX, SW AR MX HV, and
SW 6 Component Operation, cont'd
Auto-sequence mode
In auto-sequence mode, the switcher scans all inputs at a
rate defined by the sequence rate. The sequence rate is set
through the front panel buttons for time periods ranging
from 4 to 60 seconds. In this mode, an input remains
selected for the period of time specified by the sequence
rate, then the next input in sequence is selected. This
process cycles through all inputs repeatedly until the mode
changes.
In auto-sequence mode, buttons 3 and 4 change the
sequence rate. Each time you press button 4, the sequence
rate increases by 4 seconds, up to a maximum of 60
seconds. Each time you press button 3, the sequence rate
decreases by 4 seconds, down to a minimum of 4 seconds.
Sequence rate decoding
The sequence rate can be decoded using the information
shown below. To determine the sequence rate, find the
LED configuration in the table that matches switcher LEDs
1 – 4. The sequence rate is shown to the left of the LED
configuration.

Sequence rate decoding — alternate method
An alternate method of determining the sequence rate is to
add the assigned decimal values for each blinking LED.
The sum of these values equals the current sequence rate.
The decimal value represented by each LED is shown at the
bottom of each column in the table on the previous page.
Example: (see the gray bar in table)
LEDs 1, 3, and 4 are blinking. The decimal values at the
bottom of those columns are 4, 16, and 32.
4 + 16 + 32 = 52 seconds
Slaving to a System 4LD/C
The SW AR MX, SW AR MX HV, and SW 6 Component
switchers contain one internal, user-configurable jumper,
E2. It enables the switcher to operate in either "stand-
alone" or "slave" mode. In stand-alone mode, the switcher
functions as an independent switcher. In slave mode, it
functions as a slave to a System 4 switcher.
Changes to internal jumper settings must be
performed by authorized service personnel
only.
Configuring as a slave
By default, jumper E2 is set to stand-alone operation. To
configure the switcher for System 4 slave operation, do the
following:
1. If the power cord is attached, disconnect it from the
switcher.
2. Remove the cover (the top portion of the enclosure) as
shown in figure 28. Remove the top two screws on
each end of the enclosure, lift the cover, and place
the cover upside down next to the base of the
enclosure.
Do not pull on the cable that attaches the cover
to the base. Doing so could disconnect the
cable from its connectors.
