CAUTIONS: • The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical.
The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If the exposed portion is
longer, the wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If
the exposed wires are shorter, they can be easily pulled out, even if
tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can
become loose over time.
• For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact.
DO NOT connect them to negative (–) contacts.
g RS-232 connector — Connect a host device such as a computer or touch panel control
system to the Tx, Rx, and _(ground) pins of this 5-pole captive screw connector for
below, for information on wiring this port). The first and second pins of this connector
are not used.
The default protocol for this port is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow
control.

Remote
Configuration and
Control
This section describes the connections through which the DVC 501 SD can be configured
and controlled remotely via SIS commands, and describes the commands that are available.
Topics include:
•
•
•
Communication Ports
The DVC 501 SD can be remotely controlled via a host computer or other device (such as
a control system) that is connected to the rear panel RS-232 port or the front panel USB
Config port. With an RS-232 or USB connection, you can configure and control the DVC
using SIS commands.
The protocol for the rear panel RS-232 port is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow
on wiring to this connector.
Using SIS Commands
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require
any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. When the DVC
determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the
host device. Each converter response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a
line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one
or more characters.
DVC-initiated Messages
When a local event (such as a front panel selection) takes place, the converter responds by
sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host.
The following converter-initiated message is displayed:
©COPYRIGHT2011,EXTRONELECTRONICSDVC501SD,Vn.nn,60-1033-01]
The DVC sends the copyright message when powering up while connected to the computer.
Vn.nnis the firmware version number.

Error Responses
When the DVC receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response
to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command because the command
contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host. The responses include:
• E10— Invalid command
• E13— Invalid parameter
• E14— Not valid for this configuration
• E17— Invalid command for signal type
Using the Command and Response Table
commands that the DVC 501 SD converter recognizes as valid, the responses that are
returned to the host, a description of the command function or the results of executing the
command, and command examples.
NOTE: If the unit does not support or recognize a command that is entered, no action is
taken and no response is returned.

Rack Mounting
UL guidelines for rack mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the
DVC 501 SD in a rack:
•
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consider installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(TMA) specified by the manufacturer.
•
•
•
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical
loading does not create a hazardous condition.
Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider
the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
•
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
