Device Control
The MLCPlus must be configured in one of the following ways before it can send
commands to a projector, display, or other device:
• An IR, RS-232, or Ethernet driver file can be downloaded from the extensive Extron
driver selection from the Extron website (www.extron.com/download/index.aspx).
The driver is saved to a folder and commands from the driver are incorporated into the
GC configuration file for the controller. The configuration file is built and uploaded to the
MLCPlus via GC.
• If a driver is not already available, RS-232 or Ethernet command strings can be
entered directly from a host computer using GlobalConfigurator. These can then be
incorporated into controls within the GC project.
See the file (which comes with the software) for details on setting Global Configurator Help
up the MLCPlus and for downloading device control commands.

Installation Step 4: Cable All Devices
NOTE: Most examples on the following pages show the MLCPlus100. However,
connector wiring and port functions are identical for all models.
1. If the MLC Plus is not mounted to a grounded metal junction box or a grounded metal
equipment rack, Extron recommends connecting the unit to an earth ground to protect
the unit from electrostatic discharge.
To ground the unit:
a. Securely terminate a grounding cable with a ring terminal.
b. Remove the grounding screw in the lower left corner of the rear panel, insert the
grounding cable, replace and securely fasten the screw (hand-tighten only). Do not
over-tighten the screw. Maximum torque is 2 inch-pounds (0.2 Newton-meter).

Rear and Side Panel Features and Cabling
NOTE: For rear panel features and cabling, the MLCPlus100, MLCPlus100AAP, MLCPlus200, and
MLCPlus200AAP are identical, so in this section the MLCPlus100 represents all of those models.
The rear panel of the MLC Plus 50 has one COM port instead of two, and does not have a volume
control port, but it is otherwise the same as the other models.

power supply
before connecting
it to the controller.
Figure 15. Connecting an External Power Supply
ATTENTION:
• Always use a power supply provided by or specified by Extron. Use of an
unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may
cause damage to the supply and the end product.
• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron.
L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute conformité
réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que le produit final.
• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a
UL Listed power source marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated output 12VDC,
minimum 0.5A, or 48VDC (PoE), minimum 0.35A.
• Si le produit n’est pas fourni avec une source d’alimentation, il doit être alimenté
par une source d’alimentation certifiée UL de classe 2 ou LPS, avec une tension
nominale 12VDC et 0,5A minimum, ou 48VDC (PoE) et 0,35A minimum.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air
handling spaces or in wall cavities.
• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs ne s une CA/CC conviennent pas à
utilisation dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales.
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70, article725 and the Canadian Electrical
Code part1, section16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to
building structure or similar structure.
• Cette installation doit toujours être conforme aux dispositions applicables
du Code américain de l’électricité (National Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA70,
article725, et du Code canadien de l’électricité, partie1, section16. La source
d’alimentation ne devra pas être fixée de façon permanente à la structure de
bâtiment ou à d’autres structures similaires.
NOTE: The MLCPlus50/100/200Series controllers accept power over Ethernet
(PoE) through the LAN port (figure 13, G, on page15) in addition to network
communication. Both an external power supply and PoE can be connected to the
controller simultaneously. The MLCPlus uses PoE when it is available but can switch
seamlessly to the external 12VDC power supply if the PoE connection is dropped.
