Wiring and Connections
WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and
terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this
section in its entirety before running or terminating any wires to ensure
proper operation and to avoid damaging the equipment.
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
- The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable transmitters, kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best results.
- WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated VGA, HDMI, DP and USB cables due to the complexity of these connector types. Using preterminated cables will ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the performance of the product
Audio Connections
Audio In The audio connections use a 3.5mm (1/8in) TRS Stereo Jack.
Communication Connections
RS-232 Wiring
The SW-510-TX uses a 3-pin RS-232 with no hardware flow control. Most control
systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary from device to
device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device for pin
functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made.
PC Connection
Connection to a PC uses the RS-232 Control connection and requires the use of
a USB to 3-pin Port Adapter cable (CAB-USB-3PIN) in order for a port to be
provided on the PC. Note that this adaptor can be used on both v1 and v2
versions.

Troubleshooting
- No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)
- Verify that power is being supplied to the transmitter and receiving device.
- Verify that all HDMI and HDBaseT connections are not loose and are functioning properly.
- Verify that the HDBaseT cable is properly terminated following EIA568B standard.
- Verify that the output resolution of the source and display is supported by this transmitter.
- Configure EDID Settings to a lower resolution.
- If transmitting 3D or 4K, verify that the HDMI cables used are 3D or 4K rated.
- No or Intermittent 3rd party Device Control
- Verify that the IR, RS-232, and Ethernet cables are properly terminated following the Wiring and Connections section.
- Relays Not Functioning
- Verify polarity of the relay connections.
- Troubleshooting Tips
- WyreStorm recommends using a cable tester or connecting the cable to other devices to verify functionality.
- This product contains a USB-C connection that can be used as an audio/video input. When using this connection verify that the USB-C cable used supports audio/video functionality as not all USB-C cablessupport this requirement.
Setup and Configuration
The SW-510-TX is configured using RS-232 commands for Output Resolution, and
EDID. Follow these steps to properly configure the transmitter based on the
system requirement.
Note: The steps and information provided in this QSG are for basic operation
of the transmitter out of the box. Refer to the SW-510-TX API for full
configuration settings
Communication Settings
The commands listed below can be sent to the TX through a direct RS-232
connection or via a LAN connection if used as a kit with the SW-515-RX. Each
device must be connected together via HDBaseT in to order to send a command
from one device to the other. The only exception is Configuring a Static IP
Address which requires connection to the RX.
