DVCM 50 • Installation
PRELIMINARY
Mounting the DVCM 50 
The DVCM 50 must be attached to a device faceplate, such as the MLC 104 AAP, or 
to an AAP wallplate, such as the AAP 102, and cabled before the device or wallplate 
is installed in a wall or furniture. The DVCM can be mounted in any Extron 
wallplate or faceplate that can hold four single-space AAPs, arranged in two rows 
of two AAPs each. The screws needed for installing the DVCM 50 are built into its 
front panel, so no additional screws are needed. 
1.  Before any cables are attached, insert the control module’s screws through the 
holes in the device faceplate or the AAP wallplate. Secure the control module 
to the faceplate or wallplate with the provided hardware.
2.  After you have connected all cables and programmed the DVCM’s buttons, 
mount the device faceplate or AAP wallplate with the DVCM attached onto 
a wall, electrical wall box, mounting bracket, or furniture, following the 
instructions provided with the mounting option.

  Confi guration switches — These DIP switches place the DVCM in IR learning 
mode or data transfer mode.
•  Switch 1: Enables IR learning.
•  Switch 2: Enables data transfer, such as cloning the DVCM’s 
confi guration onto another DVCM 50.
•  Switch 3: When this switch is placed in On position, commands are 
issued only once when a button is pressed and held. If the switch is set to 
Off, its commands are issued repeatedly for as long as the button is held.
