Remote Keypad Controller - For audio / video routing switchers

Remote Keypad Controller

Features

The Remote Keypad Controller is an RS232 terminal device which is designed to control the Vortex series of audio / video routing switchers from remote locations via three-wire hookup or modem.

Keypad may be cascaded for multiple site controls; router instructions are passed along from upstream terminals or drivers (such as the Windows control software).

The keypad is mounted in a 5" x 7" ABS housing, approximately 1.5" high. It has two DB9 connectors: one male for RS232 out (down-stream) to the routing switcher which is to be controlled, and one female for RS232 in from another keypad controller or other RS232 terminal device.

Power is supplied from a wall plug-in module which provides power at 8V DC to 12V DC at approximately 250mA.
