Button Panel EU and MK Series • Setup Guide
Overview
Extron offers a range of eBUS Button Panels (EBPs)in one-gang EU and MK form factors. They can be mounted into one-gang
EU or MK enclosures and can also be mounted alongside other EU, MK, or Flex55 products in larger enclosures. Each panel is a
fully customizable AV system control interface for use with Extron IPCPPro Series control processors. Individual EBPs are easily
congured and can be connected with other panels to provide control for large and complex AV systems.
NOTE: These products are only for use with Extron UL Listed IPCP Pro controller products.
Each EBP button panel has two eBUS ports that support power and communications between the IPCPPro control processor
and eBUS devices. Up to eight eBUS devices such as EBP button panels can be connected to the control processor and to each
other in various cabling topologies. Cabling topology refers to the physical layout of cabling interconnections between devices
in a network such as an eBUS system. eBUS systems can include daisy chain, star, or hybrid system (a combination of both)
topologies (see the eBUS Technology Reference Guide, available on www.extron.com, for basic diagrams). Every device must
have a unique identication address (eBUS ID) within the system.
Setup involves setting eBUS ID DIP switches on the EBPs, then using Extron GlobalCongurator
®
Plus and Professional
software, the Toolbelt utility, or Global Scripter programming software, to congure the control processor. Once congured, the AV
system can be controlled from any of its EBPs.
This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced installer to install the EBP EU or MK series button panels. For more
details on the EBPs, see the eBUS Technology Reference Guide, available on www.extron.com. For details on conguration or
programming, see the software help les.

EBP 104 EU and EBP 104 MK Models
Other EBP EU and MK Models
Figure 1. EBP EU Models: Rear View
The features shown in gure 1 are the same for all EBP EU and MK models, except for the EBP 104 EU and EBP 104 MK.
A
DIP switches — Up to eight devices can be connected to one control processor. Each device connected to the same control
processor must have a unique eBUS ID, which is set using DIP switches (see Step 4: Set the eBUS ID on page 6).
B
eBUS connectors (2 ports) — The four-pole captive screw connectors use the Extron eBUS protocol to connect the panel to
a controller and to other panels (see Step 5: Cable All Devices on page 9).
C
eBUS connection status LEDs — Provide diagnostic information about the connection, communication, and power status
of the panels.
z The EBP 104 EU and EBP 104 MK has a single LED that can light yellow, red, or green.
z All other EBP Decorator-style models have a single green LED.
For more information about how the LEDs are used for troubleshooting, see Step 7: Test and Troubleshoot on page 11.
D
Reset button — Resets the rmware to the factory installed version. To reset the rmware:
1. Disconnect the eBUS cable that is providing power.
2. While reconnecting power, press and hold down the Reset button.
3. Release the Reset button 1 second after reconnecting power.
During the reset process, the front panel buttons are not lit. When the eBUS Status LED lights, the reset process is
complete, and the EBP is functioning normally. For the EBP 104 EU and EBP 104 MK, the green Link LED lights to show
that the EBP is functioning normally.
