About the Relay Control Modules

The Extron Relay Control Modules (RCMs) are hard-wired remote control keypads designed for use with the Extron MediaLink Controller (MLC). Refer to the MediaLink Controllers User’s Manual for information on installing, operating, and setting up the controller.

All setup must be done via RS-232. See chapter two and refer to the MediaLink Control Program or the

MediaLink Controllers User’s Manual for details.

Each control module fits into a double-space high area (1.4” H x

3.5” W) in an Extron Architectural Adapter Plate, interface, or distribution amplifier.

The relay control modules toggle relays within a MediaLink Controller to operate controls for various items in a room (such as a screen control or a light switch). The RCM-SC controls the movement of a projection screen. The RCM-SCLT controls up/ down screen movement and also lighting. In this manual Relay Control Modules are referred to as “modules”, “RCMs”, or “control modules” when instructions apply to more than one model.

Features

Grey, black, or white faceplates — The control modules are

offered in three shades for integration into a variety of environments.

System expandability — Up to four control modules (RCMs,

infrared control modules/IRCMs, audio control modules/ ACMs) can be daisy chained together in any combination and connected to a MediaLink Controller to provide basic A/V source and room control from several locations.

Furniture and wall mountability — The control modules can be

mounted onto or in furniture or walls if they are installed in optional mounting plates (AAP 102, AAP 104) or in the MediaLink Controller’s accessory faceplates.

Installation Overview

CAUTION

Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. These products should be used with UL approved electrical boxes. See “UL Requirements”, page 2-3.

To install and set up Relay Control Modules, follow these steps:

Turn the equipment off. Make sure that the control module(s) and the MediaLink Controller (MLC) are disconnected from the power source.

Run cables through the wall or furniture where the control module(s) will be installed.

If applicable, follow the site preparation (hole cutting, electrical box or mud ring/mounting bracket installation, and cable preparation) instructions included with the device, faceplate, or AAP wall plate into which the control module will be installed. Cable clamps should be used to hold the cables in place for strain relief. Trim back and/or insulate exposed cable shields with heat shrink to reduce the chance of short circuits.

Attach the control module(s) to the Extron faceplate(s) or AAP wall plate(s).

Set the identification DIP switches on each control module’s circuit board.

Connect daisy-chained control modules to each other (if applicable). Wire the 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors on both ends of each cable that will connect one control module to another. Plug the wired connectors into the receptacles on the back of the control modules.

Connect the control module(s) to the MLC. At the control module end of the cable, wire the connector that will attach the MLC to the control module(s). Plug the wired connector into the receptacles on the back of the control module(s), and insert and fasten the wires to the appropriate pins of the MLS/Power port on the bottom of the MLC.

Connect the projector’s RS-232 port to the MLC’s Display/ Source Control RS-232 port (refer to the MediaLink Controllers User’s Manual). If infrared control modules (IRCMs) are part of the system, connect IR Emitters or an IR Broadcaster to the MLC’s Display/Source Control IR port.

2-2

Connect a MediaLink Switcher (MLS) to the MLC 206 and to the projector, if applicable.

Restore power to the MLC, and connect the optional MLS switcher to a power supply.

Set up the MLC.

The setup/configuration requires an RS-232 connection to the MLC’s Config port. Setup should be done before the MLC is installed into the wall or furniture.

Press a button on each control module. If the expected action (a lighting or screen position change, for example) doesn’t occur, disconnect power from the MLC and verify correct connector wiring at both ends of the cable(s).

Mount the MLC and the faceplate/wallplate containing the control module(s) into the wall/furniture. Make sure that the faceplate is grounded.

UL Requirements

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.

The UL approved electrical wall box (junction box) is not included with the control module; the installer is responsible for obtaining and installing the box.

3. These units must be installed with accordance with the National Electrical Code and with local electrical codes.

Cabling

For each control module to be connected to an MLC, set the rear panel DIP switches, then follow these steps:

1. If it hasn’t already been done when the wall box was installed, cut a length of Extron Comm-Link cable to go between the MLC and the control module.

2. Using the following diagram as a guide, attach a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector to the end of the cable that will be plugged into the control module, and connect wires on the other end of the cable to the MLC’s IR/RCM port (a 4-pole direct insertion captive screw connector).

Wire both ends of the cable identically (pin A to pin A, pin B to pin B, etc.).

The same type and quantity of connectors and DIP switches shown above can be found on the rear panels of all models of the control modules.

Communications connectors — Use these connectors to connect control modules together and to connect them to the MLC and to an optional IR Link infrared repeater. Both connectors function the same way, so they are interchangeable.

Plug one end of an Extron Comm-Link cable into one of these

3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors, and plug the other end into a connector on another control module or an IR Link, or connect those wires to the direct insertion IR/RCM captive screw connector of an MLC. Do not install more than one IR Link.

DIP switches — Set these switches to identify the address of each module. Each module must have a unique address. Note the direction of the arrow on the switch.

Testing/Troubleshooting

Before installing the control modules into the wall or furniture, test the system to make sure that the connections are correct and the modules are working correctly.

1. Connect the cables between the MLC and the control module(s), connect IR Emitters or an IR Broadcaster to the MLC (if IRCM modules are used), and connect a host computer to the MLC’s Config port. If available, cable the A/V source device(s) to the display device (projector), and connect the projector and any relay-controllable items to the MLC. Refer the MediaLink Controller User’s Manual for wiring diagrams.

2. Connect the MLC to a 12VDC power source. Connect the host computer, A/V source device(s), and projector to a power source and turn them on.

3. Start the MediaLink Control Program, and set up the control modules and the MLC (for each button set up the relays, select or type in RS-232 commands, or perform IR learning).

4. Press the buttons on the control module, watch the module’s LED (for IRCM and ACM modules), and observe the item being controlled by the module (lights, screen, projector mount, VCR, DVD, MLS switcher, etc.).

4A If the LED does not light when a button is pressed,

check the captive screw connector wiring at both the MLC and the control module. If the conductor assignments are not the same at both ends, the circuits may be damaged if power is applied to the wrong pole, and the control module will not turn on. Verify that the connectors are wired identically at both ends of the cable.

4B If power is present at the MLC and at the control

module, but the item being controlled does not respond when a button is pressed:

• Make sure the control module’s address DIP switch settings are correct and that each module has a unique address.

• For IRCM and CM modules, check the MediaLink control software to verify that an IR command has been “learned” for that button.

• For IRCM and CM modules, verify that an IR Emitter or IR Broadcaster has been connected to the MLC’s Display/Source Control IR connector.

4. In the Relay & Misc. Options portion of the control program, select the appropriate options for each relay.

For example, set the relays that are tied to the Screen Position Up (

), Screen Position Down ( ), and Stop buttons to Momentary, and select the duration for the momentary contact. For the relay that is tied to the Lighting On/Off button (RCM-SCLT only), select Latched.

5. Set each relay to (NO) Open (normally open). Refer to the

MediaLink Controllers User’s Manual and the MediaLink Control Program for more information.

6. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 for each RCM button.

The MLC contains three relays, so you may install a maximum of one RCM-SC or one RCM-SCLT in a system with an MLC.

Relay Control Modules

All IR control signals are sent to all devices (video sources, projector, etc.) at the same time even if two or three IR Emitters or an IR Broadcaster are installed. The IR sending devices share the same IR Display/Control port on the MLC.

• For RCM modules, ensure that the wiring from the MLC to the screen motor’s low voltage controller is correct. Refer to the screen manufacturer’s user’s guides. For the RCM-SCLT, ensure that the wiring from the MLC to the AC power controller is correct for the model you are using.

5. Call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline if the item(s) being controlled still does (do) not respond when the control module’s buttons are pressed.

Mounting the Control Module Into an AAP Wallplate or Device Faceplate

The control module and any other adapter plates must be attached to a device faceplate or AAP wallplate and cabled before the device or wallplate is installed in a wall or furniture. The screws needed for installing the control module are built into its front panel, so no additional screws will be needed.

1. Before any cables are attached, insert the control module’s screws through the holes in the device’s faceplate or AAP wallplate. Secure the control module to the faceplate/ wallplate with the provided captive washers and #4-40 nuts.

2. Follow steps

through 12 in the “Installation Overview”

section of this chapter.

3. If the control module is not installed into a grounded metal wall box, ground the faceplate before fastening the faceplate

into the wall or furniture.

Do not tie a module’s faceplate to both a separate earth ground and the circuit ground (via a connector pin). If you tie a product to two different ground sources, you may introduce ground loops or other grounding-related problems into the system.
