Introduction M200 Mk2

Attention M200 Mk2

Mozilla Firefox.lnk

The Mk2 version has a new Atmega 644 processor, which has a larger memory. Software version 2.00 can only be installed on the M200 Mk2. If you have an M200 Mk1 with the Atmega-163/ -16 processor, you can upgrade this to the current Mk2 version with the Upgrade Kit.

After updating the M209 firmware to version 2.00 or higher, we recommend completely resetting the M200 interface by pressing the Dis- able softkey on setup page #5 for several seconds, until setup page #1 automatically appears. Please refer also to page 13 ff.

Introduction M200 Mk2

M200 Revox

With the Re:connect M200 Revox, Revox offers an interface, for the intelligent control of many of the Revox video products.

The correct picture input is automatically selected at the television with the help of the interface. Additionally, the next or previous TV programme can be selected for the television, through the M218 wall-mounted keypad.

Multiroom Planer V2.00

The new Multiroom Planner doesn't just calculate the correct address assignment for the M219 Side room amplifiers and M217 Wall-mounted displays, it also calculates the slot addresses for the M200 series Re:control products in the side room. Take advantage of the possibility to be able to determine in advance, all M200, M217 and M219 addresses simply and quickly and at the same time save the information as system documentation. You will find more information about addressing the M200 in the side room, on Page 10 of this manual. You can download the new Multiroom Planner V2.00 free-ofcharge from the download area of the Revox Homepage, under www.revox.com.

New features from software V2.00

From software version 2.00, the M200 can be connected not only to an M51 but also to the M219 Side room amplifier.

As a result, a Revox television can also be controlled from an side room, using the M219 Side room amplifier. The option of connecting an M200 interface to an M219 exists with the first four Side room amplifiers for each zone. As a result, a total of 16 Side room amplifiers can be connected with an M200 interface in a Revox Multiroom system with 4 different zones.

In the same way as with the setup of an M51, you define which video input at the Revox televisions activated by which M219 audio source, through the M203 Setup module. The local inputs Local 1 – 3 at the M219 can be used for the control, as well as the audio sources of the Multiroom Central unit.

Important advice: If you want to use the software version 2.00, the complete Revox system must be updated to the level 2.00, or higher.

Introduction M200 Mk2

Switching between stations using the Revox wall-mounted keypad

The M200 Mk2 offers the option of selecting specific stations using the skip keys (<>) on an M218 wall-mounted keypad, once the TV tuner has been selected. This comfort function requires two settings:

1/2 Audio IN assignment

M51 in combination with M200

The sound input, e.g. TV, Aux1, Optical, etc., of the remote device must be assigned to one of the following Remote buttons in the Remote menu:

• Local

• Local 1

• Local 2

• Local 3

Assignment example

M219 in combination with M200

There is no need to make an assignment through the Remote menu with an M219, because its local audio inputs (Local 1-3) are always assigned to the IR commands Local, Local 1, Local 2 and Local 3. Continue with point

Note: Monitor-only devices This comfort function is only available with TV models with an integrated TV tuner. It cannot be selected in case of monitor-only devices without a TV tuner.

2/2 TV Tuner assignment

M200 Setup #5 - Input

The second assignment affects Setup #5 in the M200. Here, the physical audio source of the TV sound that was assigned to a Local Remote button in the first step, is assigned to the television's TV Tuner.

In the example above, the audio source TV calls the television tuner. As well as the Multiroom central unit sources, a side room amplifier also offers its own local Inputs 1-3 for the TV Tuner assignment.

Introduction M200 Mk2

Function Overview

As well as main room operation, the new side room functionality available from software version

2.00 also allows an M200 Mk2 to be connected to an M219 Side room amplifier. You should be aware however, that not all functions are available in the side room. This is highlighted in the individual as well as in the following overview table.

Installation & Connection M200 Mk2

Connection:

M200 with M51/ M219

Socket: M51 LINK IN Setup: - M219: Yes ;

The M200 interface is connected with the M51 LINK socket on the back of the M51 or the M219 LINK socket on the Side room amplifier, using the supplied telephone cable.

If you want to use a different cable, you should only use a non-crossed, 4-core telephone cable with an RJ11 plug (6P4C modular).

Max. cable length: 100 m Max. cable resistance: 0.1 Ω /m

Connection:

M200 with external interfaces

Socket: M51 LINK OUT Setup: - M219: Yes ;

The M200 interface is designed for the connection of further external interfaces:

M51 operation

Currently, the following further products can be connected with the M51::

 M200 (2. interface)  M201 IR interface  M202 Ethernet interface  M203 RS232 interface  M217 Display

M219 operation

With the M219, the LINK OUT can be used for the connection of an M217 Display.

Use a non-crossed, 4-core telephone cable with an RJ11 plug (6P4C modular).

Max. cable length: 100 m Max. cable resistance: 0.1 Ω /m

Installation & Connection M200 Mk2

Connection:

M200 with seriell interface

Socket: RS232 Setup: # 4 – from page 11

M219: Yes ;

The M200 Interface can be used with other (TV) devices, which also have a serial interface.

This enables the integration of a large number of Revox video products into the Revox World. Which models are supported and how the integration is achieved, is described starting from page 11.

The M200 Interface is also suitable as an interface to domestic facility management systems such as AMX or Crestron, which have a special Revox protocol.

Even a Windows PC with the M230 control program can be connected to the serial interface on the M200

Serial cables with a maximum length of 10 metres can be used.

Connection

M200 Trigger input

Socket: INPUT A B RS232 Setup: # 4 – from page 6

M219: No 

Using INPUT A and INPUT B, you can trigger specific events at the M51. This is done by applying a voltage between 5 and 24 volts (DC) to the corresponding input. There are various options that can be carried out when the input is supplied with voltage.

This function is not available in the side room through the M219.

Control example

The switching diagram below, shows you how can activate the Inputs A and B with two keys S1 and S2. The voltage source is provided by + and - on the IR-LINK.

Installation & Connection M200 Mk2

Connection:

M200 Relay output

Socket: Relay A B Setup: # 2 – from page 8

M219: Yes, with Link Booster ;

The two changeover relays can be operated in different modes, independently of each other.

Note: In active operation, the relays need 18-24 VDC. However when connected to an M219 Side room amplifier or when the M51 is in standby mode, only 12 VDC is available. This means that in these cases, the relays do not react to a command.

Solution:

Through the deployment of the M-Link Booster, the power is held at a permanent 18 VDC and the relays work reliably in every operational state – see connection diagrams on pages 14-16.

Please note The switching voltage may not exceed 42 volts.

Switching voltage: 0- 42 Volt* Max. switching current: 4-8 A*

* dependent on load - See Technical data

Connection:

M200 Voltage ramp

Socket: Output Setup: without configuration M219: No 

Using the OUTPUT, you can control the output voltage with the remote control M208, giving a variable voltage between 0 and 10 volts. This voltage ramp could be used, for example, to set the dimmer control of a lighting system to a desired level.

Standard electronic dimmers with a controller input offer the option of adjusting the brightness between 0 and 100%.

Functions:

- On (with memory function)

- Off

- Increase voltage

- Decrease voltage

- 10 fixed voltage levels

The remote unit control file for the voltage output at the M200 is located in the M208 Project Manager device library, under the heading Revox – Revox Domotic M200. All deployed RC5 codes are stored in this file.
