be connected to one camera
via USB and MxBus at the
same time!
It is likewise disallowed to
connect one MX-232-IO-Box
to several cameras!
*Only use MOBOTIX USB cables! USB cables are not part of the delivery and are to be ordered separately!

Changing the Mode of Output Out1

In order to use output Out1 as powered output, you need to
stick the jumper on the jumper pins J1 at the right as shown in
the figure. The other jumper will be used in the future and must
not be used at present. When connecting, use the terminals
Out1 A and Out2 –.
Please note that the total output rating of the MX-232-IO-Box is
split between the two powered outputs in this mode (see «Technical
Specifications» ). In this mode, the max. cable length for Out1 is
also 50 m (55 yd).
