What to do if Universal MSC-400 Controller does not output IR commands?
- P
  pgilesAug 14, 2025
  If your Universal Controller (MSC-400) is not outputting IR commands, first verify the IR command programming, IR port configuration, and RFID configuration (if ports 7-12 are used for IR) for the connected devices. Also, check the emitter connection to the assigned IR port, ensure it's properly positioned over the IR eye on the controlled device, and adjust the IR output level if necessary.

  If your Universal Controller (MSC) does not receive RF commands from the remote, check the connection of the RFX-250 to the MSC-400. If the RF LED is flickering or illuminated, try repositioning the RFX-250 to improve reception. Also, confirm the configuration of RFIDs in both the MX/TX Editor for the remote and the MSC Editor for the MSC-400. Finally, confirm the remote programming in RF Setup for IR & RF output, device command programming, and Macro Trigger programming.

How to fix Universal MSC-400 when it will not power up?
- P
  Patty JonesAug 25, 2025
  If your Universal Controller (MSC-400) will not power up, ensure the power adapter is connected to the MSC at an unswitched AC outlet. Also, in a Master/Slave system, both controllers must have their own power supply.

What to do if Universal MSC-400 does not detect voltage sensor?
- T
  Tracey SingletonAug 31, 2025
  If your Universal Controller (MSC) does not detect a voltage sensor, confirm the sensor connection to the sensed device, the control voltage from the sensed device, the sensor connection to the correct sensor port on the MSC-400, and the sensor port configuration.

What to do if Universal Controller does not detect video sensor?
- D
  David VasquezSep 3, 2025
  If your Universal Controller (MSC) does not detect a video sensor, confirm the sensor connection to the sensed device, the composite video output from the sensed device, the sensor connection to the proper sensor port on the MSC-400, and the sensor port configuration.

Why video sensor status does not turn off on Universal MSC-400 Controller?
- J
  Justin HowellSep 7, 2025
  If the video sensor status on your Universal Controller (MSC) does not turn off, confirm that the sensed device's composite video turns off in standby and is not outputting a black screen or other video signal.
