Introduction 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.
Installation and Operation 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: 1 Turn the equipment off. Make sure that the control module(s) and the MediaLink Controller (MLC) are disconnected from the power source.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Rear Panel Connectors and Switches For each control module to be connected to an MLC, set the rear panel DIP switches, then follow these steps: 1 1 A B C D E A B C D E 1 2 ON 2 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. 1 Cabling 1.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 5. A B C D E A B C D E Plug one end of the cable into the control module’s remaining communications connector, and plug the other end into a communications connector on the next control module. The photo below shows control modules (RCM, IRCMs, and/or ACMs) connected to an MLC in a typical daisy chain setup.
Installation and Operation, cont’d MLC relay wiring for an RCM-SC For Stewart Filmscreen screen controllers, a momentary closure between the up and common terminals, the down and common terminals, or the stop and common terminals will cause the screen to go up, go down, or stop.
Installation and Operation, cont’d The diagrams included here are examples only. Your equipment may have different wiring requirements. Refer to the specific wiring instructions provided by the manufacturer of the screen controller and AC power controller that you are using. Low Voltage Controller Red (Da Lite/Draper) Up (Stewart) The following two illustrations give examples of how to connect a relay controller to the MLC to turn lights or another device on and off.

Installation and Operation, cont’d 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. 4. 6. 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.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 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.
