Disconnecting Switches - AMX CP-15 Instruction Manual

Disconnecting Switches

Disconnecting Switches
Disconnecting a switch deactivates the connection between an input (source) and one or more output
(destination) devices. Disconnecting an input disconnects all outputs currently receiving that source
signal. An output can only be connected to one input; therefore, disconnecting an output will only
disconnect the connection between the output and the input that is routed to it.
You can disconnect a switch by selecting either inputs or outputs from the CP-15 Control Panel. Inputs
and outputs can be selected in the same disconnect command.
Although switches can be disconnected when in panel is in Change Mode, the advantage of using the
Disconnect Mode is that it can be used to quickly disconnect multiple outputs receiving a signal from the
same input (by disconnecting the input) or from different inputs (by disconnecting the outputs).
If you need to change the virtual matrix, see "Changing the Virtual Matrix" on page 9.
You can return to the Function menu at any time by pressing the Function Key.
Note: When you put the panel in Disconnect Mode, available keys will be blue and any unavailable
ones will not be illuminated. When you select a blue key, it turns white. You can toggle the keys
between the selected (white) and unselected (blue) state before pressing the Take Key. For more
information, see page 4.
Once the CP-15 is in Disconnect Mode, inputs and outputs can be selected and unselected by pressing
the corresponding Input and Output Keys. The disconnect command is not executed until the Take Key
is pressed.
While in Disconnect Mode, the CP-15 will not show current routing for the inputs and outputs that
are selected.
Caution: Disconnecting an input disconnects all outputs receiving that source signal even if a
specific output(s) is selected at the same time.
The example below disconnects Inputs 1 and 3 and all outputs connected to them as well as Output 9.
To disconnect inputs and outputs:
1.
Press the Function Key.
The Function menu appears.
2.
Locate Disconnect by scrolling with the Control Dial.
