MSC-400 System Quick Reference MSC-400 Master System Controller Rear Panel IR and RS232 Outputs For RS-232: Connect to Outputs 7-12 only. Order either RS232M (Male connector for component) or RS232F (Female connector for component). No RS232 cables are included with the MSC-400. For IR: Outputs 1-6 are IR only. Outputs 7-12 can be used for either RS232 or IR. Standard emitters can be used on 1-6, sleeved emitters should be used for Outputs 7-12. Control the IR output level via the adjustment screws on the top panel. Standard Emitter for Outputs 1-6 (can be used temporarily in Outputs 712). Compatible with MRF300. Order IR6 - Six emitters in one box. Sleeved Emitter for Outputs 7-12. Can be used with 1-6 as well. Order IRS6 - Six sleeved emitters in one box.

Video or Voltage Sensor Inputs Sense video via the VID-6 Video sensor (six to a box) or sense a 3-25 V AC or DC voltage via the VS-100 Voltage Sensor (six to a box). The VS-100 Voltage Sensor is necessary when using other manufacturer's current, light or RF sensors.No video or voltage sensors are included with the MSC-400. IR Input This port enables an IR Keypad or connecting block to route IR signals to all emitters. RF Input This port connects to up to three RFX-250s in parallel. RF Output This port connects to other MRF or MSC units in the same location. Relays 1 and 2 Each relay is compatible with Low Voltage applications (less than 30V with no more than .5 amps maximum current). The relay can be programmed to Open, Close or Toggle it's state in three ways: 1. Latching 2. Momentary for a specified time 3. Momentary for as a long as the button is pressed and held. 12V Output This is not programmable, simply a convenient power supply for any Relay 1 or 2 controlled device that needs 12V (less than .5 amp). Combining Two MSC-400's in Master Slave Configuration When configuring two MSC-400's to be a single Master/Slave combination, the following connections must be made: A. All RFX-250s must be connected to the MASTER (10' cable is included). B.The MASTER RF OUT is connected to the SLAVE RF IN (10' cable is included). C.An RS232 accessory cable must connect between the #12 RS232 ports of both the MASTER and the SLAVE (this cable is not included, order the MS-01 Master/Slave cable. Master RFX-250 RF Receiver RFX-250 Side View Slave Connect ONE (only) of either of the RFX-250's RF OUT connectors to ONE (only) of either of the RF IN con- nectors on the MSC-400 using either your cable or the supplied cable. Note that 5V and GND positions are MSC-400 Rear View different on the RFX-250 compared to the MSC-400. The Data connects to Data, 5 V connects to 5V and GND con- nects to GND.
