Disconnecting Switches
Disconnecting a switch deactivates the connection between an input (source) and one or more output
(destination) devices. Disconnecting an input will disconnect all outputs currently receiving the input's
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. Inputs and outputs can be
selected in the same disconnect command.
You can disconnect inputs or outputs from the Octaire Control Panel using the steps below. If you need
to change the routing level, see "Changing Virtual Matrices (Routing Levels)" on page 48.
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 an
example, see FIG. 31 on page 44.
Once the Control Panel is in Disconnect Mode, inputs and outputs can be selected and unselected by
pressing the corresponding Input and Output Keys. Pressing the Cancel Key clears an incomplete
disconnect command and returns the display to the beginning of the submenu. The disconnect command
is not executed until the Take Key is pressed.
While in Disconnect Mode, the Octaire Control Panel 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.
3.
Press the Select Key.
The system is in Disconnect Mode (all the available Input and Output Keys turn blue).
4.
Press Input Keys 1 and 3 and Output Key 9.
The keys turn white indicating that they are selected.
5.
Press the Take Key.
Inputs 1 and 3 (and all outputs connected to them) and Output 9 are disconnected as soon as the
Take Key is pressed, and the keys turn blue.
6.
Make additional disconnects.
Or press the Function Key to return to the Function menu.
