Intr oduction This section gives an overview of the guide and describes the MLC 60 Series MediaLink ® Controllers and their featur es. T opics include: • About This Guide • About the MLC 60 Serie.
MLC 62 RS MK — UK model. Controls devices by RS-232, IR, r elays, and digital input; has a standard MK sized frame and fits into a standar d one-gang MK electrical box. MLC 64 RS VC D — US model. Controls devices by RS-232, IR, r elays, and digital input; has a two-gang Decora faceplate and fits in a two-gang US electrical box.
The five MLC models have the same button functionality and use the same configuration software. All models can be contr olled by pr essing the front panel buttons or via a host device using RS-232 communication and simple ASCII commands (Simple Instruction Set, SIS ™ ).
• IR and RS-232 ports — The MLC 64 and the MLC 62 RS models each have a dedicated serial port for communicating with most types of projectors or flat panel displays via unidirectional RS-232. They also have an IR/S port, which can be configured for IR or RS-232 contr ol.
MLC Configuration Software The included MLC Configuration Program is used to configur e the MLC buttons and ports via an RS-232 or USB connection. This software, pr ovided on a DVD that is delivered with the pr oduct, enables you to set functions for the fr ont panel buttons and to configure the MLC ports in or der to contr ol devices via the MLC.

Removing and replacing the MLC 64 VCM module knob and faceplate The MLC 64 is provided with one black and one white VCM faceplate and volume contr ol knob. Y ou can change the faceplate, knob, or both on the volume control module as described in the following procedur es.
MUTE VOLUME Figure 17. Removing the MLC 64 V olume Control Module Faceplate 3. Making sure that both the faceplate and the volume contr ol module boar d are upright , line up the pegs in the upper -left and lower -right cor ners of the new faceplate with the holes in the board.
2. If you are switching faceplates, transfer the buttons fr om the faceplate you r emoved to the replacement. 3. Make any desired button r eplacements (see “ Replacing Buttons ,” below).
4. Press the two buttons into the faceplate until the pegs on the membrane ar e seated in the corresponding holes. 5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for any additional buttons that you want to r eplace, then reattach the faceplate.
Wiring for IR Control T o control devices via infrared (IR) commands fr om the MLC, connect one or two IR emitters to the IR/S port (RS models) or the IR port (IR model). The IR and IR/S ports provide unidirectional IR signal output to contr ol a display , projector , switcher , or other device such as a VCR or DVD player .
