Contact Closure Input and Relay Connections

Contact closure input connections

The IPL T CR48 can be connected to any relay providing a closure to ground (closed = logic 1 and open = logic 0). The contact closure inputs are connected to 5 VDC via a 1k ohm pull-up resistor and must be wired with a ground. This allows the input to be tied to devices such as motion detectors and alarms. You can define what this input triggers via control software.

1.Connect one end of the input cable to a 3.5 millimeter, 5-pole captive screw connector, wired appropriately, and plug it into the rear panel input port connector of the unit.

2.Connect the other end of the input cable to the input relay device that will provide a triggering signal.

Relay connections

The IPL T CR48 can be connected to any device that can be activated by a relay closure. This allows the relay to be tied to devices such as lights (preset recall), projector lifts, and screen or drape controllers. You can define what triggers this action via control software.

1.Connect one end of the relay cable to an 8-pole captive screw connector, wired appropriately, and plug it into the rear panel relay port connector of the unit.

2.Connect the other end of the relay cable to the device that will be activated when the triggering signal is received.

Configuring the Hardware

To function together properly, both the controlling PC and the IPL T CR48 must be configured correctly. The PC must be network-capable, with the proper protocols installed and the hardware configured correctly. The IPL T CR48 must be set to recognize and accept commands and pass them through to the projector lift, screen lift, or other controlled device.

PC Configuration

This guide assumes that you have a Microsoft® Windows® PC equipped with an operating network adapter. To allow your PC to work with Extron Ethernet-controlled products, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed and properly configured.

For use on an existing Ethernet LAN intranet, your network administrator can provide you with a unique IP address or confirm whether you need to set up the IPL T CR48 for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to have an address assigned automatically when you sign on.
