2. Introduction

About Your Switch

The switch you’re about to install is one of the best low-cost investments you can

make for your system. You’ll extend the life of your peripherals and add hours to

your work month with the time you eliminate in cabling and recabling.

The switch itself is one of the most durable devices you’ll ever own—the all-

mechanical operation and self-cleaning wiper action make for resistance to wear, a

very low failure rate, and years of life.

Our switches come in versions for nearly every connector on the market. If you

have any special requirements, such as unusual connector configurations or special

pinning, call us. We can get you a custom switch for your application.

Before You Install…

It’s easy to install your switch. The procedure is simple—it should be almost

instinctive for anyone who has ever hooked up a PC, VCR, or stereo system.

But there are a few things to be careful about. Before you start your installation,

check this list of cautions:

•Unplug everything. You should use the same care when installing your switch

that you use for connecting a PC or speaker. Although the switch doesn’t draw

current, your devices do, so unplug the power for all of them before you begin.

•Consider surge protection. The switch will not actively resist power surges, and can

pass along enough energy from a major surge to damage your data or equip-

ment. You might want the protection of an in-line surge protector. Call for

details on the surge protector that best fits your system.

•Don’t use a manual switch with laser printers. The delicate circuitry in any laser

printer could be damaged by the small amount of energy that any manual

switch passes. If you need a switch for a laser printer, ask about our electronic

switches.

3. Installation

Where to Put the Switch

The switch can be put almost anywhere. The site should be flat, dry, and stable,

and you should be able to reach the knob on the front easily. You don’t have to

worry much about airflow—the switch won’t get very hot.

Cables

You’ll need seven lengths of cable. Check your manufacturer’s specifications for

information on pinning—DTE-to-DTE connections, for example, will require

cross-pinned cable. Call us if you need cables. We can supply them for almost any

application.

All the switches, except the MMJ Switch (SW694A), are pinned straight through—

they don’t switch any leads during the passage of your signal. The MMJ Switch uses

a special cross-pinning scheme that lets you use your existing cables to make

connections.

Setting Up the Switch

Gather your cables and follow these steps:

1. Set your switch in the site you’ve chosen.

2. Turn off the power to all the devices you’ll connect to the switch.

3. Turn your switch around so that the connectors are facing you. The connector

marked “C” is the common connector. Run a cable from that connector to the

common device you wish to share with your multiple devices.

4. The other connectors on the rear—A, B, D, E, F, and G—are for the multiple

devices. Run cables from the connectors to those devices.

5. Check your configuration against the diagram on the next page. Add power to

your devices, activate one after another, and switch between them to check

your connections.
