AMX Massio MCP-108 Quick Start Manual

Overview
This guide pertains to the MCP-108 Massio 8-Button ControlPad with Knob
(FG2102-08). The purpose of this document is to illustrate how the device is to be
installed and set up in its simplest configuration by a trained technician.
Additional Documentation
Additional documentation for this device is available at www.amx.com. Refer to the
Massio ControlPads Instruction Manual for additional details on installing, upgrading,
and wiring the MCP-108.
You can also access this Quick Start Guide online by using your mobile device to scan
the QR code located on the rear panel of the ControlPad.
What's in the Box?
The following items are included with the MCP-108:
• (1) metal mounting bracket
• (2) 3-pin female connectors
• (3) 4-pin female connectors
• (1) sheet of 70 pre-printed button labels
• (4) M3.5 x 30MM screws
• (4) #6-32 x 1.25 screws
Power
You can apply power to the MCP-108 via any Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) injector or
switch which conforms to the 802.3af standard. Before installing and mounting the
ControlPad, test to see that it can receive power.
Applying Power
Applying power to the MCP-108 requires category cable and a PoE injector, such as the
PS-POE-AF-TC available from AMX. The network must be connected through the PoE
injector to send power to the ControlPad. The category cable should only run through a
common building. (A common building is defined as: Where the walls of the structure(s)
are physically connected and the structure(s) share a single ground reference.)
1. Connect the PoE injector to an AC outlet (100-240VAC) using a standard power
cord.
2. Connect the switch category cable to the Data In port on the PoE injector.
3. Using a separate category cable, connect the Data & Power Out port on the PoE
injector to LAN Port on the ControlPad.
Installation
The MCP-108 mounts onto standard 2 gang US, UK, or EU back boxes. Each type of
back box must adhere to its own specific safety approvals.
Dimensions
4 11/16" x 6" x 1" (119mm x 152.5mm x 26mm)
Button Labeling
Massio ControlPads come with a set of clear plastic Button Caps, which are designed to
fit tightly over the pushbuttons, and allow you to place a label on each button according
to the requirements of your particular installation.
Massio ControlPads also come with a pre-printed acetate sheet with a range of 70
(pre-cut) button label inserts. The button labels provided will accommodate most
installations, but it is also possible to print your own button labels on acetate for
custom button labeling.
NOTE: It is best to install the button labels before mounting the ControlPad. Doing so
keeps you from disassembling the ControlPad after mounting it.
Installing Acetate Button Labels
Follow these steps to install acetate button labels:
1. Remove the faceplate from the frame and invert the faceplate to expose its
backside.
2. Remove the cone and diffuser from the button. The cone and diffuser are adhered
together and should not be separated.
3. Peel off the desired Button Label from the included acetate sheet. If you have
printed your own custom button labels on acetate, cut each button label to fit
inside the Button Caps.
• Custom button labels must be cut to a 14mm (0.55") square to fit securely
inside the Button Caps.
• The thickness of the acetate used must not exceed .004" (0.10 mm).

4. Place the Button Cap face-down, and insert the Button Label into the bottom of
the Button Cap (FIG. 1).

FIG. 1
Orient the Button Label inside the Button Cap so that the two clips are located on the
left and right sides of the readable text on the Button Label, as indicated in FIG. 1. Be
sure to place the Button Label face-down inside the Button Cap, otherwise the label will
be seen in reverse once the Button Cap is installed.
5. Place the cone and diffuser back over the button and snap the cone into place on
the faceplate. Repeat steps 2-5 for any additional buttons. When finished, mount
the ControlPad.
Mounting the ControlPad
Follow these steps to the ControlPad:
1. Install the 2-gang back box into the surface of the desired location for the
ControlPad.
2. Once the back box is installed and secured, secure the metal mounting bracket to
the back box using the provided screws (FIG. 2).

3. Peel the plastic covering off of the insulator on the rear panel of the ControlPad.
You can discard the plastic covering after removing it.
4. Make all necessary connections to the ports on the rear panel of the ControlPad.
Be sure to connect category cable to the LAN port to supply power to the
ControlPad. See the Applying Power section for more information.
5. Attach the ControlPad frame to the mounting bracket by hooking the top of the
frame onto the extended lips at the top of the bracket (FIG. 3).

6. Press the sides of the frame to snap them into place.
7. Press the bottom corners of the ControlPad frame to snap them into place. The
two metal clips on the mounting bracket should align with the open spaces
located at the bottom of the frame. The clips should fit inside these spaces and
lock the frame into position on the mounting bracket (FIG. 4).

8. Connect the faceplate to the frame by snapping the top corners of the faceplate
into place on the frame. If connected properly, the faceplate should hold itself in
place against the frame.
9. Press the bottom corners of the faceplate until each corner snaps into place with
the frame.
