Each aux remote (up to 16 without an additional controller) is daisy-chained from one to the other with
75-ohm coax video cable. At each end a “T” connector and a 75-ohm terminating resistor must be used.
It is also important to set each aux bus remote’s panel ID number before attaching to the chain.
Please refer to the specific aux panel’s installation guide on how to install aux bus remotes (including
how to set the ID# and wiring) with the switcher system.
If you are using aux bus remotes, it is also necessary to set the SCU’s ID on the CA76 board. The ID can
be set with S1908 (Station ID). It is typically set to ID 2 at the factory, but when using aux bus remotes it
is necessary to set this to ID 1. However, if you are planning to have a routing switcher connected,
please leave this at ID 2.

Routine Maintenance
Although there are very few moving parts in an MVS system, it is important to perform preventative
maintenance at regular intervals.
Items that should be regularly maintained:
1. Filter cleaning
a. The filters in the front of each chassis should be cleaned of dust and other contaminants
every two months. Please refer to the individual unit’s installation manual (Periodic
Inspection and Maintenance) for additional information.
2. Chassis Fan Maintenance
a. The fans in each chassis should be cleared of dust every month. Please refer to the
individual unit’s installation manual (Periodic Inspection and Maintenance) for
additional information.
3. Power Supplies
a. The power supplies should be replaced every 7.5 Years. Please refer to the individual
unit’s installation manual (Periodic Inspection and Maintenance) for additional
information.
Other tips to keep your new switcher working well…..
1. Wipe the control panel, switches, and faders with a dried cleaning cloth. Use a cleaning cloth
moistened with water or lukewarm water for any persistent stains. Be sure to use a wrung cloth
for wiping the control panel since water droplets can causes malfunctions. Do not use any
chemical, solvent, or cleaner, or wipe with excessive force hard to avoid damaging the panel.
2. Do not use hand sanitizer on the control panel. Hand sanitizers have alcohol which can cause
problems with the plastic on the buttons.
3. Be sure to back up your internal hard drive to USB drives on a regular basis.
