Wiring the Control Connector The display and source control connector allows you to connect cables for IR devices, RS-232 devices (RS models only), and AC power to the MLC. The illustration below shows the MLC control connector pin assignments that are described on the following pages. RS-232 Tx (RS models only) IR out Gnd IR in Gnd 12 V DC in F E D C B A Figure 10.
FIG_Wiring for RS-232 F Transmit (Tx) D Ground (Gnd) To the Display or Projector RS-232 Port FEDCBA RS-232 Figure 11. Wiring for RS-232 Control (RS Models Only) Extron recommends using the CTL Series Comm-Link Control System Cable, available in lengths of 500 feet (150 m) (non-plenum only) and 1000 feet (300 m) (plenum and non-plenum) for this connection (see Recommended Cables on page 62 for ordering information).
Wiring an IRL 20 The Extron IRL 20 is a hard wired IR signal receiver that can be used with the MLC 52 and an IR remote control. The IRL 20 receives a signal via its front panel (or an IR sensor) from the IR remote control, and outputs a modulated IR signal via an IR emitter. Wire and connect the IRL 20 to the MLC 52 as follows: 1. If it has not been done, cut the required length of Extron CTL (Comm-Link) cable to connect the MLC 52 to the IRL 20 (see Recommended Cables on page 62 for cable part numbers).
Wiring the Power Connector The control connector also contains a power connector for the MLC 52. Connect the supplied external 12 VDC, 1 A power supply to this port to power the MLC as shown in the following diagram. NOTE: The Extron PS 1210 (included) and other Extron power supplies can be used with the MLC 52. B Ground (Gnd) A +12 VDC input External Power Supply (12 VDC, 1 A Max.) MLC 52 Control Connector F E D C B A Ground all devices. Figure 14.
To transmit configuration data via IR, both the transferring and the receiving MLCs must be removed from the wall, electrical box, or furniture, and both must be powered on. The MLC that is already configured can be powered by an external power supply, or itONcan share a power supply with the unit that will be configured. 1 2 3 4 NOTE: All MLC 52 models use the same IR data transfer procedure. 1.
The front panel buttons act as data transfer progress indicators. While data is being transferred, the buttons on both the transmitting and the receiving MLCs blink sequentially in clockwise order, starting with the On button in the upper-left corner (see figure 16). This cycle repeats until transfer is complete. DISPLAY DISPLAY ON OFF VOLUME ON PC VOL VCR VOL VIDEO PC DVD MLC 52 Figure 16.
4. When the data transfer is complete, do either of the following: • If you want to repeat the transfer process to configure another MLC 52, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the unit that is to be configured. Press any button on the donor unit. The transfer process restarts. • If you are finished performing data transfers, return configuration switch 2 on the receiving MLC to the Off (down) position. Press any button on both units to return them to the state they were in before the transfer.
4. Hold the remote control of the display device between 4 and 14 inches (10 to 36 cm) away from the MLC and point it at the IR Transmit/Receive LEDs on the MLC. Within 5 seconds of pressing the MLC button (step 3), press the button on the remote control whose function you want the selected MLC button to learn.
Setting Up Button Macros Using IR Buttons function in either toggle mode or macro mode. By default, all the buttons (except the On and Off Display buttons) are in toggle mode. This means that each press of the button issues one command — the next in sequence of the four commands programmed to the button (each button can store up to four commands). In macro mode, a single press of a button issues all the commands (up to four) that have been programmed on that button, in the order they were programmed, at 1.
5. Press the MLC button that will store the input selection IR codes. The button blinks for 5 seconds, during which time it is able to learn codes. On the rear panel, the first (bottom) IR learning LED starts flashing.) If a command is not entered within 5 seconds, the button and LED stop blinking, and you must press the button again to put it in back in learning mode. 6. Within 5 seconds, press the display device remote control button from which the MLC button will learn the first input selection command.

c Configuration port — Connect this port to your computer RS-232 port to configure and communicate with the MLC. Through this port, the MLC receives commands issued via the configuration software on your computer. Use a 2.5 mm TRS to 9-pin D-sub connector cable to connect the MLC to your PC via this 2.5 mm female TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connector. NOTE: This cable is an optional accessory that can be ordered from Extron (part number 70-335-01).
Selecting Inputs The four buttons below the On and Off buttons on the front panel can be configured to select inputs on the display device. The PC and Video buttons have been preconfigured to select inputs — a desktop or laptop computer (PC); a VCR or DVD (Video). Using IR learning, IR data transfer, or the MLC 52 configuration software, you can reconfigure these buttons and add commands to them to select other inputs if desired.
Resetting In the event that the MLC 52 needs to be reset, you can do so by one of the following methods: • Factory firmware reset — Press and hold the bottom right button (the Video button on standard models or the blank button on VC models) while applying power to the MLC. This method resets the MLC firmware to the version with which the unit was delivered from the factory. Any commands that you previously programmed for the buttons remain in effect.
Special Applications This section describes some special types of applications that represent unique conditions. For the MLC 52 to operate properly in these situations, it is important that the controller be configured correctly. In this section, three application examples are described, along with their requirements for the MLC 52.
The MLC 52 is configured differently depending on the type of projector remote control that will be used and on whether the MLC will use IR or RS-232 projector control. Because each button on the MLC 52 can store up to four commands per button, the PC and Video buttons should be programmed as shown in the illustrations below and on the following pages.
Projector remote control type A (application 1) This remote control has a discrete button for each input. Two buttons are designated for RGB inputs, one for S-video, and one for video (composite). • Use IR learning to program the command from each of the projector remote control RGB input selection buttons onto the MLC PC button. • Use IR learning to program the commands from the projector remote control Video and S-video buttons onto the MLC Video or blank (VC models) button.
MLC 52 VC models with a type A remote control If you are using an MLC 52 IR VC or an MLC 52 RS VC model with a type A remote control, program the buttons using the following scheme: INPUTS RGB1 S-Video VIDEO SET UP RGB2 POWER PRG+ PLAY TIME/ LEVEL– REW UP TIME/ LEVEL+ DLY/CNT/REAR PAUSE FF LEFT RIGHT STOP DOWN PRG– – TV INPUT SKIP/CHAPTER DECK A/B DIR A DIR B REC/ PAUSE SLEEP TAPE OFF Command 1: Video IR command VCR PC Command 1: S-video IR command DVD TV MUTE INPUT SELEC
Standard MLC 52 with a type B remote control If you are using an MLC 52 IR or an MLC 52 RS with a type B remote control, program the buttons using the following scheme: COMPUTER VIDEO MUTE VIDEO AUDIO MUTE MENU A/V MUTE ENTER PROJECTOR ON VOL SIZE CENTER SHARP PHASE CONT/ BRT COL/ TINT VOL OFF Command 1: Computer The button should be in input switch mode. PC Command 2: Video The button should be in input switch mode.
Application 2: Controlling Projectors that Require Power Off Confirmation Some projectors controlled via IR require the Power Off button on the hand-held remote control to be pressed twice to turn off the projector. These projectors usually present a prompt (similar to the one shown below) on the image, instructing you to press the Power Off button again to confirm your intent to power off the projector. (If the projector is controlled via RS-232, this prompt is usually not displayed.
4. Put the MLC Off button that you have just programmed into macro mode by pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds. The orange LED on the back panel, labeled “E,” flashes rapidly five times, then turns off, indicating that the button is now configured for macro mode. 5. Set configuration DIP switch 1 on the MLC rear panel to Off (down). Now, with one press of the MLC Off button, you can issue the command to projector off and respond to the projector confirmation prompt.
3. Program the input selection command “A” from the RGB 2 input selection button on the projector remote control into memory block 2 of the MLC 52 PC button: a. Press the PC button on the MLC front panel. The button blinks, indicating that the MLC is ready to learn the command. On the rear panel, the second LED from the bottom flashes. b. Within 5 seconds (while the PC button on the MLC 52 is blinking), press the RGB 2 button on the remote control. The MLC learns command “A” for RGB 2. 4.
