AMX Control Card Configuration
This appendix provides additional information on using the cards
available in the MX Control to integrate third-party devices with your
Vicon MX system. It provides instructions on installing user-
installable options.
Warning
MX option cards must be fitted into the designated area inside the
MX Control. This must be done only by technically qualified operators.
Technical operators, before attempting to add or replace an option card in the
MX Control, read General Cautions and Access Instructions on page A-15. Do
not attempt to disassemble or replace any other components of the
MX Control. If your unit requires any other repair or modification, please
contact Vicon Motion Systems.

you to identify the options suitable for your application requirements. For
