The lightning symbol in the triangle is used to alert you to the presence of dangerous voltage inside the product that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of electric shock to anyone opening the case. It is also used to indicate improper installation or handling of the product that could damage the electrical system in the product or in other equipment attached to the product.

The exclamation point in the triangle is used to alert you to important operating and maintenance instructions. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury to you or damage to the product.

Be careful with electricity:

 Power Outlet: To prevent electric shock, be sure the electrical plug used on the product power cord

matches the electrical outlet used to supply power to the Aurora product. Use the power adapter and power connection cables designed for this unit.

INTRODUCTION

About

The DXB-8 is a low cost 8 button single gang button panel. Designed to work with just about any RS-232 device on the market, the DXB-8 allows any RS-232 string to be assigned to the press and release of each button. Advanced functionality is available like repeat on hold. Toggle, macro (delay between multiple commands), and interlocking buttons for transport controls, power on/off, etc.

The buttons can individually be lit red, green, or blue so in dimly lit areas it can be seen. There are over 60 different laser etched button types available as well as custom laser etching. Available in Decora® white or black, the DXB-8 is designed to match.

Low cost, low power, simplicity, and compatibility with just about any device on the market makes the DXB-8 the simple sweet solution of choice.

DXB-8 Front

Front

 Buttons: There are 8 backlit buttons, ON, OFF, VGA, HDMI, Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Speaker Mute, and Mic Mute.

These laser etched buttons come as a default with the DXB-8. Other customizable buttons are available. The LED backlighting can be set to light red, green, or blue.

The default scheme is to match the DXW-2 wall plate series to remotely select the inputs and to also control the display.

DXB-8 Rear

Rear Connections

 RS-232 1: Connect RS-232 device up to 115k baud. Note there is a 5v line as it is designed to power the DXB-8 from

the DXW-2 wall plate or an option 5v supply for stand-alone operation with any RS-232 device.

 RS-232 2: Connect RS-232 device up to 115k baud.

Units can be linked together to create larger button arrays by feeding port 2 of first unit into port 1 of next unit in line. By repeating this process from unit to unit, the commands can pass through from one the next. Make certain to “null” the TX and RX. In other words TX should go to RX and RX should go to TX from unit to unit. The RS-232 protocol is designed to communicate to the address of a specific unit so it is important to make certain each unit has a unique address and the same baud rate.

APPLICATION

DXB-8 Controlling DXW-2EU and Projector

The example below demonstrates the DXB controlling a DXW-2 series wall plate which in turn passes the RS-232 to the DXE-CAT series receiver. The DXE-CAT receiver RS-232 port is connected to the projector.

BUTTON SETUP FUNCTIONS

Button Setup

Buttons are referenced 1-8 starting in upper left to lower left for 1-4 and upper right to lower right for 5-8.

 Unit Address: Holding buttons 1 and 4 down for 5 seconds will allow user to press button 1 through 8 to set address

accordingly. When the 5 seconds is reached, current address will show by blinking button relative to address blue. Next user will press any of the 8 buttons to set new address. Once button is pressed, a confirmation will happen by flashing new address buttons LED RED, then green then off as it exits the mode of operation.

 Factory Test: Holding buttons 5 and 8 down for 5 seconds will do factory test. Factory test is light all buttons Red for

2 seconds, Blue for 2 seconds, and Green for 2 seconds. Next, it will blink a red LED starting at button 1. When pressed, next button in order will blink red and prior button will turn off until all 8 buttons are pressed. After button 8 is pressed, unit will finish with RS-232 loop test from port 1 to port 2 to verify back and forth communications. LED 1 and 2 will light blue and pressing button 1 will send string from port 1 to 2 and pressing button 2 will send string from port 2 to 1. During both, it checks for proper response. Send string !test<cr> to be responded with ~test<cr>. If it checks okay, LED 4 will light Green for okay or Red for bad for port 1. Use LED 5 for port 2 indicator. Once Port 2 test is done, light blue LED 8 and when pressed End factory test mode by turning on all 8 LEDs blue for 1 sec then off.

 Factory Reset: Holding buttons 3 and 4 down for 10 seconds will do a factory reset. Factory reset will set RS-232

ports 1 and 2 to 96008N1, Unit address to 1, and assign strings on push for !1B1<cr> for button 1 and increment accordingly for all 8 button. The release will be set to !1R1<cr> for button 1 and increment accordingly for all 8 buttons. Hold will have nothing. All LED will be defaulted to blue for press and release.

 Update Mode Port 1: Holding buttons 1 & 8 > 5 seconds will force unit into firmware update mode via port 1.  Update Mode Port 2: Holding buttons 4 and 5 > 5 seconds will force unit into firmware update mode via port 2.  Daisy Chain Mode: Holding buttons 4 and 8 for 2 seconds will enable daisy chain mode. After 2 seconds, all button

LEDs will go off for 1 second then LEDs 1, 4, 5 and 8 will light for 1 second, Red for daisy chain mode or Green for normal mode then all LEDs return to their normal color.

DXB-8 Daisy Chain Mode

The DXB-8 units can be combined (up to 8 total), allowing multiple units to function as a single control interface. All commands when operated in this mode pass through to com1 of unit1. The last unit in the chain must always be address 8 in order to connect a device to communicate with port 2. The !8PD,z<cr> (z = string) command must be used to target a command out this port (see RS-232 command section for proper usage). If you are not using the last port in the chain then it will not be necessary.

Daisy Chain Mode

Holding buttons 4 and 8 for 2 seconds will enable daisy chain mode. After 2 seconds, all button LEDs will go off for 1 second then LEDs 1, 4, 5,and 8 will light for 1 second, Red for daisy chain mode or Green for normal mode then all LEDs return to their normal color.

PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

DX Interface

DX Interface is a free utility for programming the buttons with the various functions. It allows a user to assign RS-232 strings and LED color selection to the different button states. These assignments can be applied to the push, release, and holding of the buttons. Refer to Appendix 2 for cable connection to a PC. DX Interface is designed to run on a Windows® PC. The latest versions of DX Interface can be downloaded from www.auroramm.com.

BUTTON CAP SELECTION

Button Caps

The DXB-8 buttons are removable and can be replaced with a variety of buttons listed on the chart below in white or black. For caps not listed on the chart custom laser etched button caps are available for a one time processing fee to accommodate any install. Check with [email protected] for more information.

Problem

Solution

1. LED is not lit on any buttons

a. Check 5v power supply is plugged in locally or if connected to DXW-2 make

certain the DXW-2 has power. b. Check to see if Wall supply is plugged into wall outlet. c. Make certain wall outlet has power. d. Make certain RS-232 command for LED state is not set to none for the

buttons.

2. RS-232 does not work

a. Check connection on RS-232 port. Make certain TX goes to RX and RX

goes to TX of the device to be connected. Do not forget about ground. b. Check baud rate. c. Verify commands being sent are correct protocol. d. Each unit must have a unique address.

3. Some functions do not work

a. Make certain unit has latest firmware.

Firmware Update

DXB-8 Update Utility

DXB-8 Update Software requires a serial cable connected in a null (RX to TX, TX to RX, GND to GND) configuration to a PC. The firmware can be updated directly at either of the DXB-8 rear serial ports. To force update mode holding buttons 1 and 8 for 5 seconds will force unit into firmware update mode for port 1 and holding buttons 4 and 5 for 5 seconds will force unit into firmware update mode for port 2. LED 1 will light blue when in the mode for port 1 update and LED 2 will light blue when in mode for port 2 update. A way to force update if necessary is to hold buttons 7 and 8 while applying power to the DXB-8. Next, use utility to transfer file which can be found at www.auroramm.com.
