MX Series of Wireless Slide Projector Controllers
The MX Series offers total slide projector
control combined with freedom of movement
for convenient, professional audiovisual
presentations. From simple forward and
reverse of one projector to multi-function
control of two projectors, the MX Series
supplies nine models which fit most standard
projectors and a wide variety of applications.
All systems feature a handheld transmitter
which modulates a radio frequency (RF) signal
that is omni-directional and interference-free.
The range of the transmitters is 150 feet
effective through walls, glass, or screens.
2
Each transmitter is housed in a durable,
handheld case with easy-to-use, logically
placed buttons. Receivers are enclosed in a
compact case which fits neatly beside one or
two projectors. Installation is simple. Control
cables simply plug into the remote control jack
on the projector. User-definable codes allow
multiple systems to be used in the same area.
Contact your local AMX dealer for a complete
brochure on the AMX line of remote control
systems for audiovisual and environmental
equipment.
EASY OPERATION
For easy operation of the entire MX Series, please follow these steps.
1. To ensure maximum operating range, place the MX Receiver on a non-metallic surface, away from
the projector. Note: metal or foil labels may inhibit effective operation.
2. For the MX unit to operate, the controlled projector must have its power switch in an “on”
position. Select “low” or “high” lamp (see switch “D” on the installation diagram of your MX unit).
3. With the MX Transmitter, move away from the projector and test the MX unit.

EASY INSTALLATION
1. Plug the 5-pin receiver cord (A) into the remote
receptacle on the projector (B).
2. When a Kodak® slide projector is used, the MX
Receiver will draw power from the projector. In
other cases — such as another brand of projector
or dissolve control is used — the power supply
must be connected.
3. If it is determined the power supply is needed,
plug the power cord into any standard wall outlet
(120 V) and connect the power mini plug to the
receiver power receptacle (C).
4. Extend black antenna wire vertically.
