Extron electronic MLC 62 IR D manual Features, Faceplate alternatives

Page 9

The five MLC models have the same button functionality and use the same configuration software. All models can be controlled by pressing the front panel buttons or via a host device using RS‑232 communication and simple ASCII commands (Simple Instruction Set, SIS™). They differ from each other in the following ways:

•The MLC 62 IR D rear panel does not contain the Relay, Digital Input, or RS-232 control ports that the RS models have.

•The MLC 64 front panel has seven buttons, one of which (the Mute button) is located below the Volume knob. This button is used only to mute and unmute the volume on an Extron amplifier and cannot be configured to perform other functions.

•Some front, side, and rear panel connectors are located in different places on the

MLC RS D (US), EU (Europe), and MK (United Kingdom) models (see “Panels and Connectors” in the “Features, Cabling, and Operation” section).

Faceplate alternatives

The MLC 60 Series models are available with the following faceplate configurations:

•MLC 62 IR D: The US IR model is delivered with two six-button faceplates in black and white. One black and one white Decora wallplate are also provided. An eight-button faceplate is available to order.

•MLC 62 RS D: The US RS-232 model is delivered with two eight-button faceplates in black and white. One black and one white Decora wallplate are also provided. A six-button faceplate is available to order.

•MLC 62 RS EU: The European model is delivered with six-button and eight-button faceplates, both in RAL9010 white.

•MLC 62 RS MK: The UK model is delivered with six-button and eight-button faceplates, both in white.

Features

Some of the features of MLC 60 Series include:

•Customizable buttons — Eight buttons are standard on the MLC 62 RS models, prelabeled as shown in figure 1 on the previous page. The MLC 62 IR D has six prelabeled buttons, and the MLC 64 RS VC D has seven.

An additional set of prelabeled buttons is included with each model, enabling the controller to be customized to suit the application.

Additional buttons are available to order for all models, labeled in English (the default) and other languages. Buttons can be ordered with custom labeling as well.

•Button backlighting — The front panel buttons are backlit to facilitate use in low-light environments and to provide certain status (such as whether power is on or off, or which input has been selected).

•Alternative six-button configuration (MLC 62 RS models only) — For applications in which input device or button functions are not necessary, the standard eight-button faceplate on the MLC 62 RS can be replaced with a six-button one. Each pair of source selection buttons can be changed to a long, single function button.

•Device drivers — A wide variety of Extron certified, ready-to-use device drivers are available via the MLC configuration software, the provided MLC software disk, and the Extron website (www.extron.com).
