Extron electronic MPX Plus 866 A manual Button Labels

Button Labels

Page C-11provides strips of blank button labels. If desired, photocopy them or cut them out of the manual, write button information in each button area, and put them in the switcher’s input or output buttons’ windows. You can also create labels using the Button-Label Generator software (see chapter 5, “Switcher Software”).

Installing labels in the matrix switcher’s buttons

Install new labels in the matrix switcher’s front panel buttons as follows:

1. Make new labels using either the blanks on page C-11or the Button-Label Generator software. Cut them out.

NFor best results, print on transparent or translucent material.

2.Remove the button from the switcher: use a small, flat bladed screwdriver such as an Extron Tweeker to gently pry a button out from the front panel (figure C-1).

3.Locate the notch in the corner of one side of the clear button cap lens.

4.Separate the white backing (diffuser) from the clear button cap (lens); insert the blade of the small screwdriver into the corner notch and gently twist the blade.

5.Save the translucent, white diffuser, but remove the text/label insert from the transparent button cap lens.

6.Insert the replacement button label into the button cap. Check for correct label orientation.

7.Align the white diffuser plate with the cap (lens). The bumps on the diffuser plate should be aligned (top and bottom) with the notches on the clear button cap. Firmly snap it into place.

8.Align the tabs on the switcher’s plunger with the notches on the diffuser plate. Gently, but firmly, press the reassembled button into place in the switcher’s front panel.

9.Repeat steps 2 to 8 as needed to relabel other buttons.
