MLC 60 Series • Setup Guide

for the MLC 62 RS EU and the MLC 62 RS MK

The Extron MLC 62 RS EU and the MLC 62 RS MK

are keypad controllers for use in classrooms and

meeting facilities. The EU model attaches to a

single size European electrical junction box with a

60 mm mounting center; the MK model mounts to

a single size MK junction box. The controllers have

backlit soft touch buttons and can control common

AV functions, including power, input switching, and

volume. Both models provide RS-232 serial and IR

ports for universal display control. A digital input

and two relays enable monitoring and controlling

of other devices in the room. Both models have

six-button and eight-button options.

NOTES: • Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.

• For full installation, conﬁguration, and operation details, see the MLC 60 Series User Guide, available at

www.extron.com.

Installation Steps

1. Prepare the installation site.

The MLC 62 EU and MK controllers can be installed in a

standard EU or MK one-gang electrical wall box:

a. Install the electrical box, following the instructions

provided with it.

CAUTION: Ensure that the junction box is

properly grounded.

b. Prepare and pull the cables through the electrical

box.

2. (Optional) Change the faceplate and buttons as needed.

a. Remove the faceplate from the MLC module as follows:

i. On the right and left edges of the faceplate are two pairs of slots, into

which two small tabs on either side of the MLC ﬁt. Insert the ﬂat end

of a small screwdriver into each side slot (as shown at right) and press

inward until the tab is released from its slot.

ii. Lift the faceplate off the MLC circuit board.

b. If desired, replace the buttons in the faceplate as follows:

i. From the front of the faceplate, press the button membrane to be

replaced backward through its faceplate openings until it comes free.

If replacing the faceplate, repeat this step until all the buttons are

removed.

ii. On the back of the faceplate, set the new button membrane at the

desired location, with the two pegs in the upper-left and lower-right

corners of the membrane in the faceplate holes at opposite corners of the

row (see the illustrations at left and at right). Press the pegs and buttons

of the membrane into the faceplate.

iii. Repeat step 2 b as needed.

Product Category Digital Input port — Connect a switch or sensor to this port to control other devices in the room that are connected to the MLC serial, IR, or relay ports. The port monitors the high and low states of the connection between the switch or sensor and the connected device. For the voltage thresholds, a voltage below 1.0 VDC is considered logic low, and a voltage above 1.5 VDC, logic high.

8. Test the system to ensure that the MLC is functioning properly. 9. Mount the MLC. Before mounting the MLC to a wall or furniture, make sure that all device cables are connected to the MLC rear panel. Disconnect power at the source from all devices in the system. a. Align the MLC wall frame to the metal mounting bracket, which you attached to the mounting surface in step 3. b.
