1. These units are not to be connected to a centralized DC

power source or used beyond their rated voltage range.

2. These units must be installed in UL listed junction boxes.

3. These units must be installed with conduit in accordance

with the National Electrical Code.

Wall Mounting Site Preparation

The control panel module can be mounted in a wall-mountable four space mini-AAP A/V connector panel (such as a one-gang CPM101) and then set into a wall with either a standard studmounted wall box or with a wall mounting bracket (IN9181). The control panel module can also be mounted to any wallmountable Extron device that incorporates a four space A/V mini-AAP connector panel, such as a three-gang RGB 468 Mxi. See Mini-AAP mounting options in Appendix A, Reference Information, for a partial list of devices that can accept four space mini-AAPs.

Choose a location that allows power cable and serial control cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for the wall box and the cables. You should install the cables in the wall or furniture, with or without conduits, before installing the mounting bracket or wall box.

The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the equipment’s size requirements.

Installation using a UL listed wall box (available from Extron) is recommended for most mounting options, but the optional wall mounting bracket can be used instead. All wall boxes must be at least 2.5” (6.4 cm) deep.

Before using the wall mounting bracket, verify that the installation conforms to national and local electrical codes.

Prepare the site as follows:

1. If your wall box or mounting bracket includes a paper template, cut out the indicated portions of the template. If

the wall box or mounting bracket does not include a template, use the wall box or bracket itself to size the hole.

2. Place the template, wall box, or mounting bracket against the installation surface, and mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall or furniture.

3. Cut out the wall/furniture material from the marked area.

4. Check the opening size by inserting the wall box or

mounting bracket into the opening. The box or bracket should fit easily into the opening. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.

5a. If you are using a wall box, feed cables through the wall

box punch-out holes, and secure them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.

Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with heat shrink (figure 2-2).

Button Modes

Before a control panel module button is programmed, it has no function. See chapter 4, Serial Communications, to program the buttons. Programming includes:

• Assigning the program string(s) to the button. One or

two strings (primary and secondary) can be assigned to each button.

• Setting each program string to be either ASCII or hexadecimal.

• Setting the mode for each button. The mode for each button can be any one of the following:

 Single — Sends the primary program string when

 Toggle — Sends the primary program string when

 Press/release— Sends the primary program string

 Continuous — Sends the primary program string

• For toggle mode, if desired, setting a group or timeout:

Groups cannot be assigned to buttons that are set to operate with a timeout.

further set to automatically toggle off after a userdefined period of time, up to 255 minutes.

Timeouts cannot be assigned to buttons that are set to operate in groups.

Send Programmed Commands

Figure 3-1 — Power connector wiring

The actions that occur when you push a programmed button vary, depending on how the button is programmed.

• Single mode — Push the button to send the primary

program string. The button’s LED flashes once.

• Toggle mode — Push the button to send the primary

program string. The button’s LED lights. Push the button a second time to send the secondary string. The button’s LED goes out.

• Press/release mode — Press and hold the button to send

the primary program string. The button’s LED lights. Release the button to send the secondary string. The button’s LED goes out.

• Continuous mode — Press and hold the button to

repeatedly send the primary program string. The button’s LED lights. Release the button to stop sending the string. The button’s LED goes out.

• Two or more buttons set to toggle mode and grouped —

Push a button in the group to send that button’s primary program string. That button’s LED lights. If another button in the group was selected, that button is deselected (its LED goes out).

When buttons are grouped, the CTL208 does not send the secondary command string for the button it deselects when you select a new button in the group.

Factory Reset

With power removed, set rear panel DIP switch 5 to on (up). Reapply power. Set switch 5 back to off (down). The DIP switch factory reset performs the following functions:

• Resets the control panel module’s serial port to 9600 baud, no parity, Xoff, and half duplex mode

• Resets the module’s address to 97;

• Enables the front panel

• Erases all button codes

• Resets all buttons to single mode

• Resets all button groups and timeouts to 0.

If you push the button a third time, the timeout interval starts over; that is, if the timeout is set to 30 minutes, the control panel module will send the secondary string 30 minutes later.

The CTL208’s clock is always running and the programmed timeout occurs on the full minute. Thus, the timeout can occur up to 59 seconds earlier than the number of minutes programmed. Over the length of the average timeout setting, this “early” timeout is considered of no consequence.

Ensure that you reset switch 5 to off (down). If you leave the switch on (up), the control panel module will reset every time you power it on.

Serial Communications

The control panel module must be programmed before it can be operated. Programming can include setting several serial port variables to match the device to be controlled and includes entering the primary and secondary (if applicable) code for each button.

You can program the control panel module either by using the ICS100 windows control program or by sending individual ASCII commands. Both programming methods require that a serial port cable be connected between a computer and the control panel module’s serial port.

ICS100 Windows Control Program

The ICS100 Control Program, a graphical control software for Windows, provides a way to program the control panel module.

System requirements

• Operating system — Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP / XP Pro

If using Windows NT, Service Pack 6 must be installed.

• Hardware — Pentium 150 or faster CPU

• Memory — Minimum: 128 MB

Recommended: 256 MB

• Screen resolution — Minimum: 800 x 600

Recommended: 1024 x 768

• Disk space — 5 MB

Installing the software

The control program is contained on a CD-ROM, and must be installed on the hard drive.

1. Click Start > Run.

2. Click the Browse button. An open file window appears.

3. Navigate to the drive or folder that contains the software.

4. Double click the setup icon.

5. Click Ok in the Run window.

6. Click Ok in the InlineControl Setup window.

7. Click the icon button in the next InlineControl Setup to

install the software in the default (Extron) directory in the Program group.

If you want to specify a different directory, click on the Change Directory button.

8. The next InlineControl Setup window that appears

indicates when setup is complete. Click Ok.

Starting the program

Start the control program and establish communications with the CTL208 as follows:

1. Click Start > Programs > Extron > ICS100. The control

program window (figure 4-1) appears. The CTL208 will not respond until it has been contacted

with the valid address; after a moment, the program reports a failure to connect (figure 4-1).

Figure 4-1 — ICS100 program window and warning

2. Click OK.

The control panel module’s serial port is factoryconfigured to 9600 baud, no parity, no flow control, halfduplex mode. If desired, serial port settings can be changed from within the ICS100 program.

3. If you need to change serial port settings, click

Communications > Comm Port > Comm 1 (or the correct Comm port). The Serial Port Setup window appears (figure 4-2).

4. Click Inline Model > Select Address. The Addresses window

(figure 4-3) appears.

Figure 4-3 — Addresses window

The control panel module must be addressed before it will accept and respond to commands. The addressing operation routes setup information to a particular unit on a network and enables command responses. Once the control panel module is addressed, it can accept an unlimited number of commands. If a different unit is addressed, the CTL208 ignores subsequent commands until it is addressed again.

Using the software to program the CTL208CM

Use the control program to program the CTL208 buttons as follows:

1. Click Inline Model > Query Hardware to configure the

ICS100 program to communicate with the CTL208 and to confirm that communications have been established with the control panel module. The Connected window appears (figure 4-4).

Figure 4-4 — Connected window

Click Ok.

2. Click Controls > Control Panel. The CTL208 control panel

(figure 4-5) appears.

The factory-installed default address is 97, but this number can be changed. The control panel module can also take commands after receiving a broadcast address of 00, but it will not send responses. Broadcast addressing is for multiple units on an RS-485 serial line in half duplex mode.

After you are finished sending commands to the control panel module, always end the session by selecting a different address than the one assigned to the CTL208. This prevents the module from responding to commands meant for another unit.

5. Click and drag on the slider or click the scroll up ( ) or

down ( ) button until the desired address is visible.

6. Click on the desired address. The default address is 97.

7. Click Ok.

Communication protocols

The control panel module’s serial port is factory-configured to 9600 baud, no parity, no flow control, half-duplex mode.

If you change the serial protocols, communications between the computer and the control panel module are lost until the computer is updated to match the new control panel module settings.

The communications protocols of the control panel module should match the protocols of the device to be controlled.

Command and response structure

Valid commands consist of a leading delimiter, one or more characters in a command code, and an ending delimiter. The control panel module’s response to an RS-232 command also consists of a leading delimiter, a command code, and an ending delimiter.

The control panel module’s leading delimiter code is always a left bracket ( [ ). The ending delimiter code is always a right bracket ( ] ).

Example: [CPp@] — where “[“ is the leading code, “CPp@” is the command (reset the serial port to default values), and “]” is the ending code.

Addressing the unit

The control panel module must be addressed before it will accept and respond to commands. The address packet ([CC##], where ## is the 2-digit address ) routes setup information to a particular unit on a network and enables command responses. Once the control panel module is addressed, it can accept an unlimited number of commands. If a different unit is addressed, the CTL208 ignores subsequent commands until addressed again.

The factory-installed default address is 97, but this number can be changed. The control panel module can also take commands after receiving a broadcast address of 00, but it will not send responses. Broadcast is for multiple units on an RS-485 serial line in half duplex mode.

After you are finished programming the control panel module, always terminate the session by sending an address packet to another unit with a different address. This prevents the module from responding to commands meant for another unit.

Control panel module responses

When a command is valid, the module performs the command and sends the following response:

[R0 {address} {echo of the command sent}]

When a command is invalid, either because the command is not recognized or contains invalid parameters, the module sends the following response:

[R1 {address} {echo of the command sent}]

Using the command/response table

The command/response table begins on page 4-13. Upper or lower case letters are acceptable in the command field. The table below shows the hexadecimal equivalent of each ASCII command.

Space

Symbols, defined starting on page 4-11, are used throughout the table to represent variables in the command/response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the table.

Symbols

= Address number 00 - 98 (00 addresses all units but individual units do

not respond, 97 is the factory-installed default).

The very first command that you send to the control panel module must be the connect, [CCX1], command, where X1 is the module’s address. The control panel module will not accept other commands or respond until it has been addressed.

The very last command that you send to the control panel module should be the connect, [CCX1], command, where X1 is a different address. This prevents the control panel module from accepting and responding to commands for other devices.

If you need to use the bracket delimiters in a stored ASCII command, you need to use the insert brackets feature. Under this feature, one character replaces the left bracket ( [ ) and another character replaces the right bracket ( ] ). The default values are a single quote mark ( ‘ ) in place of the left bracket and a double quote ( “ ) in place of the right bracket. The CTL208 replaces the characters with the bracket delimiters in the stored ASCII or hex command string.
