Hardware Installation

Installation of the VM3200 is simply a matter of connecting the appropriate cables. Refer to the installation diagram above (the numbers in the diagram correspond to the steps below), and do the following:

1. Use a grounding wire to ground the unit by connecting one end of the wire to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.
   Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit from surges or static electricity.

2. Unscrew the covers on the VM3200’s rear panel and insert the I/O boards into the vertical slots (see VM3200 user manual, page 28, for details).

3. Connect your A/V source device(s) to the Video and Audio port(s) of the Input Board on the VM3200.

4. Connect your video display device(s) to the Video port(s) of the Output Board on the VM3200.

5. Connect your speakers / audio output device(s) to the Audio port(s) of the Output Board on the VM3200.

6. (Optional) If you are using the serial control function to control multiple VM3200’s, use an appropriate serial cable to connect the computer or serial controller to the VM3200’s female RS-485 / RS-422 captive screw connector. The VM3200 package includes a terminal block connector that can be used for this connection.

7. (Optional) If using the remote operation features (web GUI), plug a Cat 5e cable from the network into the VM3200’s Ethernet port.

8. (Optional) If you are using a serial control function, use an appropriate serial cable to connect the computer or serial controller to the VM3200’s female RS-232 serial port.

9. Insert the power module (supplied with the package) into the primary power slot, plug the power cord (supplied with the package) into the VM3200’s 3 prong socket, and then into a power source.
   Note: Make sure the power module is stabilized into the VM3200. You should only be able to pull out the power module when pressing the release lever.

10. (Optional) Plug in an additional power module for redundancy if required.
    Note: Secondary power modules are not included in the package. 11 Power on the VM3200 and all devices in the installation.
