Using the IR 452 to Control the DVCM 50 and the MLC 104
The MLC 104 can be controlled by the IR 452 via the DVCM 50 in conjunction with
the IR Link or IRL 20.
In order to provide IR control of the MLC 104, you need the following components:
IR 452
IR Link or IRL 20
DVCM 50
Enabling IR 452 control of the MLC 104
To set up the MLC 104 for control by the IR 452, do the following:
1 . Program the buttons on the MLC 104 and the DVCM 50 front panels with
the desired commands. (Refer to the MLC 104 User's Manual for instructions
on programming its buttons. See chapters 3 and/or 5 for information on
programming the DVCM 50 buttons.)
2 . Connect the DVCM 50 rear panel host port to the MLC 104 rear panel host
port. (See Connecting the DVCM 50 to the MLC 104, earlier in this chapter.)
3 . Connect the IR Link or the IRL 20 to the DVCM 50 rear panel. (See Wiring for
IR remote control, in chapter 2.)
4 . Mount the MLC 104, the DVCM 50, and the IR Link or IRL 20 on a wall or
furniture as desired. (Refer to the mounting instructions in the MLC 104
User's Manual.)
Controlling the MLC 104 with the IR 452
The IR 452 controls the MLC 104 through the IR Link or IRL 20 and the DVCM 50,
which is connected to the MLC 104 rear panel host port.
IR 452 to MLC 104 communication process
The following occurs when you press a button on the IR 452:
1 . An IR signal associated with the button goes from the IR 452 to the IR Link or
IRL 20, then to the DVCM.
2 . The DVCM 50 interprets the IR signal and responds to it by sending the
appropriate SIS command to the MLC 104.
You do not need to program any buttons on the DVCM 50 for it to interpret the signals it
receives from the IR 452.
The DVCM 50 is confi gured to automatically send commands to the MLC 104. No
additional confi guration is needed to operate the DVCM with the MLC 104.
