About the Relay Control Modules

The Extron Relay Control Modules (RCMs) are hard-wired remote control keypads designed for use with the Extron MediaLink Controller (MLC). Refer to the MediaLink Controllers User’s Manual for information on installing, operating, and setting up the controller.

All setup must be done via RS-232. See chapter two and refer to the MediaLink Control Program or the MediaLink Controllers User’s Manual for details.

Each control module fits into a double-space high area (1.4” H x 3.5” W) in an Extron Architectural Adapter Plate, interface, or distribution amplifier.

The relay control modules toggle relays within a MediaLink Controller to operate controls for various items in a room (such as a screen control or a light switch). The RCM-SC controls the movement of a projection screen. The RCM-SCLT controls up/ down screen movement and also lighting. In this manual Relay Control Modules are referred to as “modules”, “RCMs”, or “control modules” when instructions apply to more than one model.

Features

Grey, black, or white faceplates — The control modules are offered in three shades for integration into a variety of environments.

System expandability — Up to four control modules (RCMs, infrared control modules/IRCMs, audio control modules/ ACMs) can be daisy chained together in any combination and connected to a MediaLink Controller to provide basic A/V source and room control from several locations.

Furniture and wall mountability — The control modules can be mounted onto or in furniture or walls if they are installed in optional mounting plates (AAP 102, AAP 104) or in the MediaLink Controller’s accessory faceplates.
