  • Page 12: Mounting The Switcher

    Mounting the Switcher The PVS 305SA switcher and the power supply can be mounted in the Extron PMK 550 (Pole Mount Kit) that is installed above the projector. The low profile of the PMK 550 allows it to be installed in tight spaces. N There are two models of the PMK 550 and each mounts the PoleVault switcher differently; one directly to the plate, the other using mounting brackets.

  • Page 13: Mounting Onto The Plate Using Brackets

    Installation Mounting onto the plate using brackets. N This method allows mounting and removal of the PoleVault switcher without removing the PMK 550 from the pole. Remove the cover securing screws and slide the two plastic covers away from the mounting plate. Install both brackets into the slot (see figure 2-3).

  • Page 26: Executive Mode (Front Panel Security Lockout)

    Operation and Setup, cont’d Executive Mode (Front Panel Security Lockout) To prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to settings, the PVS switcher has a front panel security lockout (executive mode) that limits users’ access to front panel controls. When the executive mode is active, all functions are locked. To turn executive mode on or off via the front panel: Press and hold input selection buttons 1 and 4 simultaneously for 4 seconds (see figure 3-2).

  • Page 27: Gain Control

    When adjustments to all five inputs’ sensitivity settings have been made, then adjust the amplifier level (via RS-232 only). Increase or decrease the amplifier level very slowly, if needed. N If the volume is at 100% through the MLC and the output on the speakers is too loud, reducing the amp level via RS-232 control software is recommended. This ensures that the volume will not be too loud, even when set at 100%. Fine tune the audio by making adjustments to the bass, treble, and loudness until the desired settings are reached.

  • Page 28: Amplifier Level Control

    Operation and Setup, cont’d Amplifier level control Amplifier level control is adjusted via RS-232 or control software only. See chapter 4, “Serial Communication”, for details on RS-232 control. Bass, treble, and loudness control For optimum audio quality, the audio input levels and the bass, treble, and loudness controls must all be set up properly.
