Important Information This product should be installed by qualified service personnel and conform to all local codes. WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! DO NOT OPEN! No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing and adjustment to qualified service personnel. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
Connections • Set jumpers in plug-in modules before making system connections. • System connections require good grade, 75-ohm, RG-59U video cable (Belden 8241 or equivalent) with BNC connectors. Complete all connections before applying power. • Terminate all video outputs at the last bay in the run to 75 ohms.
Note: Refer to the Glossary of Terms on page 3 while reading this section. The MegaPower 3200 matrix switching bay system can switch one of up to 3200 video inputs (typically from cameras) to one of up to 256 video outputs (typically to monitors).

Power Supply Module The AD2010PS power supply module converts ac to dc which powers the bay. Power Supply Front Panel Referring to Figure 9: 1. SET UP/NORMAL SWITCH: In the SET UP position, this switch enables sync test and adjustment. The red LED blinks when the switch is in the SET UP position.
Video Input Module Note: VIMs are installed, configured, and labeled either in the factory or by a technician in the field. As directed by the keyboard, an AD2016AVIM (Figure 10) selects which one of up to 16 video inputs is used for display (primary switch). The video path is shown on Figure 11.

Data Buffer Module The AD2010DB-01 data buffer (Figure 14) is used when video must be amplified and sent externally to a VOM(s) in another bay (see Figure 15). The data buffer: • Amplifies video for up to 16 video inputs (but does not provide a text overlay).

Video Output Module The AD2024BVOM: • As directed by the keyboard, acts as a secondary switch by selecting which of its four video outputs (A, B, C, or D) connects to the video input selected by the VIM of a camera group.
Page 21
BVOM rear panels: A BVOM can have one of three rear panels (Figure 19): • AD2024BVOM-1: - Supports up to three external camera groups, one internal camera group, and up to four video outputs. - The bottom four BNCs are the video outputs for the four camera groups.
Page 22
Configuring a BVOM CAUTION: A BVOM circuit board can plug into any unused slot that has a rear BVOM BNC panel. However, to install the system efficiently and to facilitate troubleshooting, ALWAYS install BVOMs in series beginning at the left-most slot as viewed from the rear of the bay.

VOM-4s. The loop panel is typically used when camera numbers exceed 1024. For instructions on how to use the ADULP with MegaPower 3200 switching systems, see AD Universal Loop Panel Installation Instructions 8000-0900-01. 4. Connect video output devices, such as monitors or video recorders, to one of the four outputs of each VOM.
Powering Up the Bay 1. Unscrew the two thumbscrews at the top corners of the bay’s front panel. 2. Slowly pull the top of the front panel towards the front and lift it up to remove it. 3. Verify that power to the bay is OFF (the On/Off switch on the front panel should not be lit).
EXT CAM: If composite video controls the vertical switching point, switch the Sync Reference Selection switch to EXT CAM (external camera). The composite sync signal should not exceed 1.1Vp-p. 1. Connect the composite sync to the EXT SYNC IN BNC located on the power supply rear panel. 2.
