MCS-IB INTERFACE BOX
Any MCS system which utilizes contact-closure controls and/or uses an Oxmoor Master Volume Panel
requires an Interface Box. The Master Control Panel includes the Interface Box as an integral part of its
assembly.
Oxmoor’s MCS-IB Interface Box serves as an interpreter to convert contact closures to PA-422 signals that
can communicate with the MCS Mainframe. Screw terminal blocks are provided for COMBINE,
SOURCE, and HEAD-TABLE lines, LED TALLY indicators and security switching.
MCS-MVP MASTER VOLUME PANEL
Designed to be located near the Master Control Panel, the rack-mounted MCS-MVP Master Volume
Panel provides synchronized remote control of any MCS-RP Room Panel. A key switch makes panel
security simple.
MCS-RP ROOM PANEL
A typical MCS system includes a wall-mounted MCS-RP Room Panel in each room or zone to be
combined. The rotary volume control is Oxmoor’s well-established RC-16, which features a unique
“Virtual Pointer
TM ” LED array. Push-button switches allow the user to select background MUSIC,
LOCAL sound source (usually a mixer) or OFF. And since volume settings for a local source and
background music are apt to be different, the last volume setting of each is stored in memory and recalled
when switching between the two. When rooms are combined, all functions on their Room Panels become
synchronized.
A lockable key switch on the MCS-RP Room Panel offers three levels of user-selectable security over the
panel’s functions. All three panel controls may be used when the switch is in the ON position. When
locked in the VOLUME ONLY position, the volume control is operable; the LOCAL and MUSIC select
switches are secured. The OFF position secures all panel controls against unauthorized tampering.
