Extron Electronics IRCM-DV+ - Manual

IRCM-DV+ • Setup Guide
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install and connect an Extron IRCM‑DV+. The IRCM‑DV+ is a
hardwired remote control module for use with an Extron MediaLink
® Controller (MLC) or System 5 IP Switcher. It replicates
the front panel controls on both a VCR and a DVD player or a combination VCR/DVD player and uses commands stored in the
MLC or sytem switcher to control those devices.
Up to two IRCM‑DV+ modules or one IRCM‑DV+ and up to two other control modules can be daisy chained together and
connected to an MLC or System 5 IP switcher for basic A/V source and room control from several locations. One IR Emitter is
included with each IRCM‑DV+. Additional IR Emitter and shield kits (part number 70‑285‑01) are available separately.
Installation
CAUTION: Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. You must comply with the
following UL requirements:
1. This unit is not to be connected to a centralized DC power source or used beyond its rated voltage range.
2. The IRCM‑DV+ must be installed in a UL listed junction box.
3. The unit must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and with local electrical and safety codes.
Step 1
Turn off all equipment and disconnect the equipment from the power source.
Step 2
Set the DIP switches on each control module as shown at right:

NOTES:
• Each IRCM‑DV+ is assigned two addresses
simultaneously: 0 and 1, or 2 and 3. The higher
numbered address (1 or 3) address stores VCR
commands, the other (0 or 2) stores DVD commands
in the memory of the controller or system switcher.
If an IRCM‑DV+ is assigned addresses 0 and 1,
a different type of control module can be assigned
to address 2 or 3.
• Each module must have a unique address. If other
modules have the same addresses as the IRCM‑DV+,
then address conflicts may cause one or both modules
to not be recognized by the controller or switcher.
Each controller or system switcher can support four control
module addresses. Because each IRCM‑DV+ is assigned two
addresses, you can connect only one other IRCM‑DV+ or up
to two single‑address control modules to each controller or
system switcher.
Step 3
Attach the IRCM‑DV+ control module(s) to the Extron
faceplate(s) or Architectural Adapter Plate (AAP) wallplate(s).
The IRCM‑DV+ fits into a four space high opening.
Step 4
Connect the IRCM‑DV+ to the MLC or System 5 IP, and connect
any other control modules to each other (if applicable) and to
the IRCM‑DV+. See the diagram in figure 2 at right for details.
Both 5‑pole connectors are interchangeable. Wire both ends
of the cable the same (pin A to pin A, for example). Do not
connect more than one IR Link or two SCP control pads.
