PRELIMINAR

For infrared (IR) output (0 to +5 VDC)

, wire an IR Emitter (2 emitters,

maximum, per port)

as shown below for a modulated or demodulated signal

and ground. For specifi c information about wiring more than one IR Emitter
per port or about extending the length of the Emitter wires, refer to the Extron
IR Emitter Installation Guide, part #68-808-01.

N If installing two IR Emitters per port, wire them in series, not in parallel.

Alternatively, an Extron IR Broadcaster can be connected here if you need
to send out IR signals to a wider area than is possible for an IR Emitter. The
IR Broadcaster requires a +12 VDC power connection. The +12 V Out and
ground pins of the Display port can be used to provide this power.

MLS connector — For controlling an optional Extron switcher or other RS-232

controllable device, connect a cable between this 3.5 mm direct insertion
captive screw connector and the RS-232 port of the other device. By default
this port supports Extron MediaLink

™

and PoleVault

™

switchers (listed below)

without additional drivers. If it is used to control other products, additional
device drivers may be required.

N The commands issued from this

port are standard Extron SIS

™

commands, and they follow the
typical Extron RS-232 protocol:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no parity

If you connect an optional switcher (such as an Extron MLS Series switcher)
to the MLC, you must connect a ground wire between the switcher and the
MLC, as shown in the following diagrams.
