The power indicator should come on at this time. 3) Connect the computer to switcher cable at this time. See Fig. 1 for cable diagram. 5) The CS series switchers all use the same software and are simply plug and play compatible. Simply connect the RS-232 cable and using the codes as described in this manual, send out the commands to the switcher. Fig. 1 System Connections
Fig. 2 Cable Diagram RS-232 Switcher Wiring Diagram MULTI-SWITCHER SETUP: To connect multiple units together to enlarge the number of inputs you must set the slave units up for the proper addresses. The CS-1600 has no internal user controls. A) Determine which unit will be the master. All units are preset as masters from the factory. Put it aside. B) On each of the slave units: Using the master slave diagram locate: Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the cover. The Master/slave suitcase jumper The 8 pos Dip switch C) Determine the ID number to be used for each slave unit, (i.e. unit 16, or 15 or 14...). Mark the unit as to the ID number it is set for. Written in pencil on the bottom will do the trick! D) Set the suitcase jumper to the Slave position as shown in the master slave jumper setup diagram. E) Set dip switch #5 to the off position. There is an eight position dip switch located on the control board. It is factory set for machine #1 and the suitcase jumper is set for a master unit. To add addition units you will start at the highest number and count down as shown in the system diagram. The master will always be machine 1 unless there are 16 slave units. The slaves will start at 16 and go down to 1 as they are added.

Fig. 4 Master / Slave Unit Setup From Computer Machine 1 Master Machine 2 Slave 1 Machine 3 Slave 2 The following is an example of a GW basic program used to control the CS-1600 or CS-216. It can also be used for the smaller 4 and 8 position switchers with some modifications. The CS-14 & CS-24 are defalted to machine #1, whose command is on line 910. An example of a CS-14 command line is: LET A$ = ` (Always machine # 1 For The CS-14 & CS-24 Series) LET B$ = 0 (For Input 1) LET B$ = 3 (For Input 4) The first group of characters are used to determine which machine number is being activated in a multi switcher system. Normally machine #1 is used a default. The second group determines the Input that will be switched to the output once the commands are sent. Line #905 represents the settings for the RS-232 Com. port. If you have any questions please call Compu-Video Systems at (845) 737-7009 between the hours of 9am and 5pm (EST).
