Connect ONE (only) of either of the
RFX-250’s RF OUT connectors to
ONE (only) of either of the RF IN con-
nectors on the MSC-400 using either
your cable or the supplied cable.
Note that 5V and GND positions are
different on the RFX-250 compared to the MSC-400. The
Data connects to Data, 5 V connects to 5V and GND con-
nects to GND.
USB2 Keyboard Port
This port allows keyboard
control of a PC. This port
cannot be used for program-
ming. USB1 on the front
panel is used for program-
ming the MSC-400.
IR Input
This port enables
an IR Keypad or
connecting block to
route IR signals to
all emitters.
RF Input
This port con-
nects to up to
three RFX-250s
in parallel.
RF Output
This port con-
nects to other
MRF or MSC
units in the
same location.
IR and RS232 Outputs
For RS-232: Connect to Outputs 7-12 only. Order either RS232M (Male connector
for component) or RS232F (Female connector for component). No RS232 cables
are included with the MSC-400.
For IR: Outputs 1-6 are IR only. Outputs 7-12 can be used for either RS232 or IR.
Standard emitters can be used on 1-6, sleeved emitters should be used for Outputs
7-12. Control the IR output level via the adjustment screws on the top panel.
Video or Voltage Sensor Inputs
Sense video via the VID-6 Video sensor (six to a box) or sense
a 3-25 V AC or DC voltage via the VS-100 Voltage Sensor (six
to a box). The VS-100 Voltage Sensor is necessary when using
other manufacturer’s current, light or RF sensors.No video or
voltage sensors are included with the MSC-400.
Relays 1 and 2
Each relay is compatible with Low Voltage applications (less
than 30V with no more than .5 amps maximum current). The
relay can be programmed to Open, Close or Toggle it’s state in
three ways: 1. Latching 2. Momentary for a specified time 3.
Momentary for as a long as the button is pressed and held.
12V Output
This is not programmable,
simply a convenient power
supply for any Relay 1 or 2
controlled device that needs
12V (less than .5 amp).

Combining Two MSC-400’s in Master Slave Configuration
Master
Slave
When configuring two MSC-400’s to be a single Master/Slave combination, the following connec-
tions must be made:
A.All RFX-250s must be connected to the MASTER (10’ cable is included).
B.The MASTER RF OUT is connected to the SLAVE RF IN (10’ cable is included).
C.An RS232 accessory cable must connect between the #12 RS232 ports of both the MASTER
and the SLAVE (this cable is not included, order the MS-01 Master/Slave cable.
RS-232 Connector for
Outputs 7-12
Order RS232M (Male DB-
9 connector for compo-
nent) or RS232F (Female
DB-9 connector for com-
ponent).
Sleeved Emitter for
Outputs 7-12. Can be
used with 1-6 as well.
Order IRS6 - Six
sleeved emitters in
one box.
Standard Emitter for
Outputs 1-6 (can be used
temporarily in Outputs 7-
12). Compatible with MRF-
300.
Order IR6 - Six emitters in
one box.
