Connecting the SID-X3N Switch off the power to all devices before connecting them to your SID-X3N. After connecting your SID-X3N connect the power to other devices. Figure 3: Connecting the SID-X3N Step-in Commander To connect the SID-X3N as illustrated in Figure 1.
8. If required, connect a device requiring a 5V DC power supply, (for example, the KW-11T, not shown in Figure 9. Connect the power adapter to the SID-X3N and to the mains power, (not shown in Figure Note: All LED supplies include a current limiting resistor and are designed to work with any standard LED.
You can connect a remote, contact closure, input selection switch to activate an input (momentary contact is sufficient to switch inputs), as well as an indicator LED to the terminal block on the rear panel of the SID-X3N. Figure 5 illustrates the connections from the terminal block to the switch and LED.
Connecting the Remote Input Selection LEDs You can connect remote, input selection LEDS to the LED terminal block on the rear panel of the SID-X3N to indicate which is the active input. Figure 6 illustrates the connections from the terminal block to the LEDs.
In last connected mode the SID-X3N selects the input based on which input was connected last. If the signal on this input is subsequently lost for any reason, the input with a live signal with the highest priority is selected automatically.
