USER MANUAL
Switching Modes
The S3MBW-200 has four switching modes available to help customize a unique solution to your specific
needs. The switching modes on the S3MBW-200 can be setup and changed by connecting to the RS-232
port and sending the appropriate command using the Covid configuration utility software. You can also use
terminal software and send the correct RS-232 command string.
Manual Mode: In this mode the S3MBW-200 will not auto-switch at all. Even if the currently active in-
put is disconnected, the S3MBW-200 will not switch. The only way to initiate a switch is by using the button
on the front interface or RS232 commands.
Hybrid Mode: In this mode, the S3MBW-200 will auto switch to the first connected active source. From
then on, the S3MBW-200 will only switch by using the button on the front interface or RS232 commands. If
the currently active source is disconnected, the S3MBW-200 will then auto-switch to another active source
input.
Auto Mode: (Default) In this mode the S3MBW-200 will switch automatically to any new source, So
whenever a new input is connected, the S3MBW-200 will auto-switch to that input. If the active input is dis-
connected, the S3MBW-200 will switch to another active input. The front interface button and RS232 switch-
ing commands can also still be used in this mode for manual override.
Priority Mode: In this mode the user assigns a hierarchy for the inputs to the S3MBW-200. When an
input that is assigned a higher priority is connected the S3MBW-200 will auto-switch to it. If an input with
a lower priority is connected, the S3MBW-200 does nothing. When the highest priority input is disconnect-
ed, the S3MBW-200 switches to the next highest priority connected. The front interface button and RS232
switching commands can still be used; however, if a higher priority input is connected after manually switch-
ing, the S3MBW-200 switches to the higher priority input still. The port hierarchy can be set on the Input/
Output Config Tab.

USER MANUAL
Preparing RS232 Cable
What you will need:
• A two-conductor cable with ground, optionally terminated with DB9 connectors.
• Wire strippers
• Screwdriver (flat head)
• 3.5mm captive screw connector with 3 positions (included with plate)
• Heat gun and heat shrink (optional)
• Multimeter (optional)
Depending on your setup, you will need an RS232 cable with terminal block on one end to connect to the unit
and either another terminal block or DB9 on the other side. The focus of this section will be on terminating
the terminal block side with the proper pinout because that is what is connected to the unit. The other end
of the cable is dependent on what the unit is connecting too, but all the information in this section will help to
get the proper pinout in any case. As a tip, if connecting to a computer without a serial port, a USB to serial
port converter can be used to communicate with RS232.

USER MANUAL
If the cable is terminated on both sides, start by cutting off the end that will be used for connecting to the
unit. Then, strip the outer jacket of the cable back by about 1 inch like what is shown in Step 1 below. Once
the outer jacket is removed, you can optionally add heat shrink around the conductors and over the exposed
drain wire like in the picture of step 2. Next, strip the ends of the conductors back about 3/16” in order to
make good contact inside of the captive screw connector. The final step is to attach the captive screw
connector to the end of the cable matching the conductors on the other side of the cable to what is shown in
step 3, use the connectors shown in the following figure as a reference if using DB9 male or female. Test the
conductors with a multimeter to confirm termination.
