Safety Instructions  
Safety Instructions  
Overview  
Please read these instructions before using your Procon switcher. Failure to comply with these  
instructions could result in fire, electrical shock, personal injury, death, or damage to the equipment.  
Power Source  
Use only a three-wire grounding type source. The power source should not exceed 264VAC. Do not  
remove under any circumstances the ground wire.  
Power Cord  
Use only the cord shipped with the unit. Do not use the cord if it has become damaged or frayed. Contact  
your Procon dealer or call Procon if you need to replace the power cord.  
Grounding  
The interface is grounded through the grounding conductor on the power cord. To avoid electric shock  
plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type  
plug.  
Fuse  
For protection against the risk of fire use only a fuse of the same rating and type.  
Liquid Spills  
Do not set drinks on top of the unit or immerse the unit in liquid.  
Do Not Disassemble  
The switcher contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing must be performed by a qualified service  
technician.  
For Safety Reasons  
Do not place the unit on an unstable surface.  
Do not use near water or sources of heat.  
Use only recommended attachments.  
Use the correct power supply as indicated on the unit.  
Unplug the unit from the mains before and refer to a qualified technician if:  
the power cord has become damaged  
liquid has been spilled or it has been exposed to rain or water  
it does not operate correctly  
it has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

Typical Installation For Use With a Projector  
Connect the RGB, Video and Audio sources to the Input sockets on the rear panel of the unit.  
The RGB/Video inputs are 75 ohm terminated and the audio inputs 47Kohm terminated.  
The RGB/Video and audio outputs are fully 75 ohm and 600 ohm driven respectively for  
connection to long cable runs.  
It is imperative that the input sources are fully compatible with the display and sound devices.  
Video Connections  
There are 4 PC inputs and 6 video inputs.  
Two outputs are available for PC and two outputs for Composite Video and S-video. The Video Inputs  
maybe either Composite Video, S-Video, or a combination of both.  
Since the switcher now auto-senses between the Composite and S-Video inputs, the  
dip switches have no effect unless you are using the Device Serial Output. If you are  
using the Device Serial Output,dip switches 1 to 6 must be set to match the incoming  
source type on their corresponding inputs.  
The projector or display device should be switched to match the Source type  
outputted.  
If you are using the serial output, it is also necessary to configure the unit with Solecis  
DCS. Consult the Solecis DCS Quick Start Guide for more information.  
Audio Connections  
One unbalanced output is available on Phono (RCA) connectors and one balanced output is available on  
phoenix connectors.  
Power Up  
Connect a Mains Source (110 to 240V) to the 2010 switcher.  
The Blank Button will illuminate.  
If any Source is connected to Inputs 1 of the PC and Video groups then Sync only will be  
present on the output.

Operation  
Operation  
Front Panel  
Source Selection  
To select a Source press the Button corresponding to the numbered Input.  
The button will illuminate. A PC input will be routed to the PC output sockets.  
A selected Video Input will also be routed to its respective Composite or S-Video output.  
If a PC input is selected then the last selected video input will remain on its respective output and vice  
versa.  
The Audio Channel will switch to the highlighted Input.  
(Unless the Unit is controlled by RS232, then the Audio can be switched independently. The front panel  
will always display the status of the PC / Video Inputs.)  
Blank / Mute  
To Blank and Mute the outputs press Blank button. The Button will illuminate and the Input buttons will  
extinguish.  
The Sync only of the last selected PC and Video Inputs will be present on the outputs.  
The Blank and Mute will disable as soon as a source is selected.  
Volume  
This is a master volume control and will adjust the level of all inputs.  
To increase volume press the arrow Up button.  
To decrease volume press the arrow Down button.  
The newly set volume level for the selected audio input will be permanently stored even after switch off.  
Attenuation  
The initial attenuation level of all the Inputs is set to 0dB.  
If some sources are louder than others then they can be adjusted to match.  
To change the attenuation level of an input, press and hold the input select button. Use the arrow up/  
down buttons to set the level.  
When set release the buttons and the level will be stored  
Display Device Serial Output  
This can be used for direct control of a projector or any device with RS232 control.  
The 2011 can be programmed to transmit Power On/Off and RGB, Composite and S-vide mode  
commands to a display device using Procon Device manager software (See programming section)  
The commands are transmitted from the Display Serial terminal.

Operation  
Input mode only  
When the 2011 is powered up a mode command will be sent to a display on the first press of any Input  
select button. The command will either be RGB, Composite or S-Video depending on the button pressed.  
This will ensure a display device is set to the correct mode to display the input selected. Each time a  
different source type is selected then a mode command will be sent to the display device.  
For this function to work the Display must be ON  
Power On/Off mode  
When the 2011 is powered a Power On command will be sent to a display on the first press of any input  
button. The button will flash for a programmed set time and the 2011 will disable.  
This allows a projector to warm up. At the end of the warm up period an RGB, Composite or S-Video  
command is sent to the display, the 2011 enables and the system is ready for use.  
To turn the controlled projector off, press and hold the "Blank" button for 5 seconds.

01 to 04 correspond to PC inputs 1 to 4  
05 to 0A correspond to video inputs 1 to 6  
00 for Blank  
1F no change  
Byte 5  
This switches the input sync but holds the RGB in blank for the time period set by the byte. This allows  
for a clean switch between inputs.  
The value is in seconds (e.g. 03 = 3 seconds).  
If RGB delay is not required then ignore the 5th byte.
