MLC 52 MediaLink Controllers • Intr oduction 1 Intr oduction This section gives an overview of the MLC 52 User Guide and describes the Extron ® MLC 52 Series MediaLink ® Controllers and their featur es.
European models • MLC 52 RS EU — European two-gang size. Contr ols the display device by either IR or RS-232. • MLC 52 RS EU VC — European two-gang size. Contr ols the display device by either IR or RS-232. This model has a volume control knob to contr ol an amplifier such as an Extron MP A Mini Power Amplifier (purchased separately).
• Inactivity timer for display shutoff — Adjustable timer contr ol pr ovides automatic shutdown of the display device to conserve energy , prevent plasma burn-in, and extend projector lamp life.
Device Drivers In order for the MLC 52 to contr ol a switcher , pr ojector , or other display device via IR or RS-232 communication, it must have drivers loaded for the devices it will control. Drivers can be obtained in the following ways: • IR or an RS-232 driver files can be installed from a disc, downloaded at www .

Wiring an IRL 20 The Extron IRL 20 is a har d wir ed IR signal receiver that can be used with the MLC 52 and an IR remote contr ol. The IRL 20 r eceives a signal via its front panel (or an IR sensor) fr om the IR remote contr ol, and outputs a modulated IR signal via an IR emitter .
Wiring the Power Connector The control connector also contains a power connector for the MLC 52. Connect the supplied external 12 VDC, 1 A power supply to this port to power the MLC as shown in the following diagram. NOTE: The Extron PS 1210 (included) and other Extr on power supplies can be used with the MLC 52.
T o transmit configuration data via IR, both the transferring and the receiving MLCs must be removed fr om the wall, electrical box, or furniture, and both must be power ed on. The MLC that is already configur ed can be power ed by an external power supply , or it can share a power supply with the unit that will be configur ed.
The front panel buttons act as data transfer pr ogr ess indicators. While data is being transferred, the buttons on both the transmitting and the r eceiving MLCs blink sequentially in clockwise order , starting with the On button in the upper -left corner (see figure 16).
4. When the data transfer is complete, do either of the following: • If you want to repeat the transfer pr ocess to configur e another MLC 52, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the unit that is to be configured. Pr ess any button on the donor unit. The transfer process r estarts.
4. Hold the remote contr ol of the display device between 4 and 14 inches (10 to 36 cm) away from the MLC and point it at the IR T ransmit/Receive LEDs on the MLC. Within 5 seconds of pressing the MLC button (step 3 ), pr ess the button on the r emote control whose function you want the selected MLC button to learn.
Setting Up Button Macros Using IR Buttons function in either toggle mode or macro mode. By default, all the buttons (except the On and Off Display buttons) ar e in toggle mode.
5. Press the MLC button that will stor e the input selection IR codes. The button blinks for 5 seconds, during which time it is able to learn codes. On the rear panel, the first (bottom) IR learning LED starts flashing.
