3000X Expander Electrical Hookup

Important: Make All Connections with the Power Off. Turn the power off of all MCS-3000 units before proceeding.

The 3000X (8 moving fader controller) can be used either:

(1)Connected to an MCS-3800 (or 3400) or

(2)“Stand Alone”, as a self contained control surface.

On the rear of the Expander is a small cluster of four switches, known as DIP switches.

(1)To connect to an MCS-3800 or, an MCS-3400 Set the rear DIP switch position #4 up (= off).

When the rear dip switch number 4 is up, that is, off, the MCS-3000X is connected to the MCS-3800 via its Modular “telephone-type” connectors. The MCS-3000X’s are connected by chaining them together with the supplied 4-conductor modular cables.

Connect Expander to Expander in a similar manner, using the cables provided.

The system is engineered so that it does not matter which of the two connectors you use, nor in what order you chain the expanders.

Warning: Use the cable provided with the 3000X. Do not use a standard “telephone handset” cable. If you use a standard “telephone handset” cable, you will short out and possibly damage the MCS-3800 or MCS-3000X. (Note that pin 1 always goes to pin 1.)

The data comes out of the MCS-3800, not the 3000X MIDI input and MIDI output.
