NOTE: The SCP must be in standalone mode for

communication via SIS commands (see the

Remote Communication” section, beginning

on page 31\.

 

•• Switch 2 — Sets the addresses for the SCPs ON

when two are connected. Ensure that this

 

switch is set to opposite positions on the

two SCPs. For example:

•• If switch 2 is set to Off (down\on the first SCP, set switch 2 on the second SCP to On (up\.

•• If switch 2 is set to On (up\on the first SCP, set switch 2 on the second SCP to Off (down\.

•• Switch 3 — Not used

•• Switch 4 — Selects the SCP 104 operating mode. Set this switch:

•• Off (down\if the SCP 104 will be connected to an MLC 104.

•• On (up\if the SCP 104 will be connected to a System 5 IP or an MLC 104 IP Plus.

BSCP power and control connectors — These two female

5-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connectors function identically to each other and can be used interchangeably.

Connect an MLC 104/226 or a System 5 IP to either of these connectors. On an SCP 226, you can connect an MLC or System 5 IP to one connector, and an IR Link, another SCP, or a control module such as an IRCM to the other connector.

The SCP can receive power from the MLC or System 5 IP through pins A and B of either of these connectors. Wire the connectors as shown in "Connecting to the MLC 104/226, the

System 5 IP, and Control Modules" on page 13.

CIRCM/RCM connector (SCP 226 only) — Attach an Extron Control Module to this female 3-pole connector. A maximum of four IRCM or RCM addresses can be used.

The maximum distance between the MLC or System 5 IP and the farthest SCP in the chain is 200 feet (61 m\. The SCP can receive power through these connectors from the MLC or System 5 IP, or from a 12 VDC external power supply.

NOTE: If an IRCM or RCM is used in a configuration

with an MLC and or a System 5 IP and an SCP, the

control modules on the SCP must be addressed

identically to the MLC or System 5 IP control

modules. See your IRCM or RCM user guide to address control modules.
