Executing And Disconnecting Switches; Executing And Disconnecting Switches From The Control Panel - AMX Precis Instruction Manual

EXECUTING AND
DISCONNECTING SWITCHES
A switch is an active connection between a
source signal and one or more destination
devices. Before executing or disconnecting a
switch on the Control Panel, make sure the panel
is in Switch mode.
You can execute and disconnect switches from
the following:
ä
The Control Panel
ä
An external serial controller (computer,
AMX, Crestron, etc.) via BCS (Basic
Control Structure) commands
ä
A Single Bus Controller (only executes
switches)
Single Bus Controllers are not covered in this
document.
EXECUTING AND DISCONNECTING
SWITCHES FROM THE CONTROL PANEL
Before executing or disconnecting a switch from
the Control Panel, make sure the panel is in
Switch mode. If you are unsure which mode the
Control Panel is in, press the Cancel key - all the
lights on the Control Panel turn off, and the
Control Panel reverts to Switch mode. Follow
the instructions (to the right) to execute and
disconnect switches.

EXECUTING AND DISCONNECTING SWITCHES

To execute/disconnect a switch:
1. Press a Level key to select a level.
The Level key illuminates. If you do not
select a level, the system executes or
disconnects the switch on the level
associated with the farthest left Level button
(the default level for that key is video and
audio).
2. Press a Source key to select a source.
The Source key flashes, and after a moment
any destinations to which that signal is
already routed illuminate. The flashing key
is the "hot" source; all other commands
center around that source until you change
mode, level, or select a different source.
3 Press a Destination key(s) to select a
destination(s).
Selecting (illuminating) a disconnected
(unlit) Destination key executes a switch;
deselecting a connected (lit) Destination key
disconnects a switch.
Note: Although our instructions direct you to
select a source first, you may execute and
disconnect switches by selecting the destination
before selecting the source. When you select the
destination, the key flashes and is the "hot"
destination. All other commands center around
that destination until you change mode, level or
select another destination. Only one source
signal can be routed to a single destination.
