1. Introduction

1.1 General

The Model AC505A is a versatile, compact, high

performance, solid-state, 2 input x 1 output, VGA video

switch that can operate at resolutions of up to 1600x1200.

The unit allows one monitor to be switched between two

video sources. The device is housed in a small RFI shielded

enclosure and is supplied with an universal power supply, a

push-button remote switch control cable, and a Serial (RS-

232) control cable for connecting to a PC or other serial

control device.

The switch terminates both video input signals and buffers

the output in order to protect signal integrity. The Model

AC505A can drive video cables to 150 feet or more

(depending on cable quality an resolution setting). The input

and output connectors are all HD15 Female (standard VGA

style).

AC505A

2. Installation

Your package should include two control cables, a power

supply, and the Video Switch unit itself. Please take

inventory of all items received and ensure that you have the

above items.

Connect INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 of the switch to your video

sources such as computer or notebook PC. You will require a

cable for each connection. It is highly recommended that you

use multi-coaxial high-resolution VGA cables for this

purpose. The cables would generally be male-to-male. Black

Box can provide cables from 3 feet to 100 feet or more;

please contact us for ordering information.

Connect the display device such as a monitor (or a video

projector) to the output of the Switch.

Set the dip switches according to the mode of operation that

best suites your application.

Connect the supplied AC power adapter to the Splitter, and

plug-in the push-button switch cord.

Please refer to figure 2.1 for installation block diagram.

Important Notice

Always use the unit with the provided power supply. Do

Not Substitute other DC Power Source. If you would like

to use a different power supply source, contact Black

Box first to confirm compatibility.

Plug-and-Play

DDC (Direct Data Channel) is a standard by which a

compatible monitor sends its identification and other

parameters to a PnP operating system such as Windows

XP etc. The AC505A does not switch the PNP signal lines

to the PC. This means that, in some instances, you may

have to select a new monitor or video settings on your PC.

Also notice that most Notebook PC's have a special

function key to activate the external video output

connector

3. Configuration & Operation

3.1 Dip Switch Settings

The Model AC505A provides a convenient dip switch for

setting the desired mode of operation. It is recommended to

set the jumper prior to applying power to the unit, however

the device does monitor the dip switch settings when on and

changes mode of operation as needed.

Normal (all switches off – levers up)

This is the default mode setting for the switch. In this mode

the unit is controlled from the push-button switch cord. The

switch at the end of the cable is momentary and it has a built-

in LED. The LED is used to indicate which input is selected.

Solid on means Input 1, blinking means Input 2 (when

blanking mode is enabled, LED off means blanked output).

Every time you press the button the output switches from the

current input to the other input. When blank mode is on,

double clicking the button will blank the output screen.
