MLC 62 Series • Hardware Setup
2-7
If the connected device does not have its own power source and
will be powered through the controller, configure this port (via
the MLC 62 configuration software) with Input with Pullup as
the digital input mode. If the device has its own power supply,
select Input for the digital input mode. (See the configuration
software help file to configure this port).
c
Relay ports — These relays allow control of room devices
such as motorized screens, lights, and projector lifts. They are
normally open relays and are rated at 24 V, 1 A. Low-power
devices can be connected directly to the relay ports; devices
requiring more than 24 V can be connected through a third-
party low-voltage controller (LVC).
d
IR/S port — Connect a projector, switcher, or source device
to this 2-pole connector. This port can be set up via the
configuration software to send out unidirectional RS-232
(the default) or IR commands. One or two IR emitters can be
connected with a maximum of 50 feet (15 m) distance from port
to emitter.
e
RS-232 (Display) port — This serial port provides unidirectional
communication to control a switcher or a display via RS-232.
f
PWR — Connect the supplied 12 VDC, 1 A power supply
(or any other power supply capable of providing 12 V, 1 A of
power) to this 2-pole captive screw connector.
