MPS 601 • Setup Guide (Continued)

Connect Control Devices

NOTE: Do not tin the leads. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.

1.

Contact In/Tally Out —When a connected contact is grounded, the corresponding input is selected (see figure 1,

f

). At the

same time, the tally output closes causing the Show Me cable LED indicator to light.

NOTE:

For “Show Me” cables, the ground pin is optional.

Do not connect “Show Me” cables to the +V pin of the +V Port (see below).

The six contacts are mutually exclusive so that only one input can be selected at at time.

Contact In and Tally Out Connector Wiring

Contact (C) – Momentary closure of this pin to ground selects the corresponding number input. Selection is triggered at
the closure (grounding) of the pin, not the opening.

Ground (G) – Ground pin.

Tally output (C) – Controls the LEDs on the contact closure push button. When an input is selected, the tally LED for that
input is active.

3.

+V Port — All three pins constantly output +5 VDC, 200 mA total (shared between pins). The +V pins can provide power to
illuminate external tally LEDs (see figure 1,

g

).

Remote RS-232 — Serial port for connection of a host computer or controller using Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) or
Windows-based control software commands (see figure 1,

h

). The default protocol is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and

no parity.
An IP Link

driver allows Extron IPL and MediaLink

®

devices to control the MPS 601 from the RS-232 remote connector.
