Installation - Vaux Electronics Lattis 1600 Series Owner's Manual

Installation

The Lattis Matrix Switcher is quite flexible, in that it can integrate with a variety of A/V devices and control
systems, and may be configured a variety of ways. Installation of the Lattis System is described below:
1. System Power: Place the Lattis Matrix Switcher near your audio/video components. Turn off the Lattis
front panel switch and plug the AC power adapter's cable into the rear panel Power connector on the
Lattis Matrix Switcher. Plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet — select an outlet which is not
controlled by a wall switch.
2. Optional Connection of Vaux Wired Keypads: If you are installing Vaux wired keypads, plug the Vaux
Data cable from the keypad connecting hub into the specified connector.
3. Optional IR Input from Repeater Systems, Keypads, or other modulated IR input source: Connect to the
rear-panel IR-In jack, or affix an IR emitter over the front-panel sensor.
4. Optional RS-232 Computer or Control System Connection: Connect your computer or control system,
using a properly wired RS-232 cable, to the 9-pin VC-232 connector on the rear panel of Lattis Matrix
Switcher System. For more information on the VC-232 interface, refer to a later manual section.
5. Connection of A/V Source components: Plug your Audio/Video source components into the Lattis
Source inputs using appropriate cabling.
Note: Lattis Video Switchers (LE-800AV and LE-1600V) use a dual-port connector for source inputs.
The video input signal connects to the black phono jack on the Source side – the yellow phono jack
above this connector provides a 75-ohm buffered output for looping the source to other destinations
(such as a second switcher).
6. Connection of A/V Zone amplifiers: Connect the Lattis Zone audio outputs to power amplifiers
appropriate for each zone. For video-capable switchers, connect the video outputs to video monitors,
or, for longer runs, to composite buffer amplifiers or video modulators. Run the speaker wiring and
video cables to each zone. NOTE: Do not use level-sensing audio amp powering options — low
volumes may turn the amp off.
Note: Lattis Video Switchers (LE-800AV and LE-1600V) use a dual-port connector zone outputs.
Each Zone output has two independent 75-ohm buffered output ports, allowing connection of two video
cables to different destinations.
7. Power-up the system: Turn on the Lattis Matrix Switcher using the front-panel switch — a string of
front-panel lights indicates that the Switcher is running.
10. Install Two (2) "AA" batteries in the RC-16 remote control(s) ( alkaline preferred).
