8 IR Programmable Outputs (1-6) – Six, 3.5 mono mini jacks connect to IR emitters for IR control of
Connected Devices. These Ports can be cond as discrete, 'routed' outputs that only send IR com-
mands to the specific device that each emitter is attached to. This allows selective control of multiple
same-brand, same-model components, (multiple DVD players, SAT receivers, etc.) and assures accu-
rate control in that a given component's commands are routed only to it's dedicated IR output and
emitter, preventing IR splash from multiple emitters flashing at the same time. POLARITY: TIP=IR
data; SLEEVE=GND.
9 IR Or RS232 Programmable Outputs (7-12) – Six, 3.5 mono mini jacks configurable for RS232 or IR
output for control of Connected Devices. When used as RS232 outputs, a special 4-circuit mini plug
to DB9 cable must be used. (Universal Remote Control Part #'s: RS232M-male DB9 and RS232F-
female DB9). When used as IR outputs, these jacks have the same characteristics as jacks 1-6, but a
special 'sleeved emitter' (URC Part # IRS6), should be used to protect the emitters from burning out
due to potential long term exposure to voltage output from the jack pins normally used for RS232.
POLARITY (RS232): TIP=no connection; RING 1=TX (red wire); RING 2=RX (white wire); RING
3=GND (shield). POLARITY (IR): TIP=IR data; SLEEVE=GND.
10 IR In – Three-pin plug-in connector allows MSC-400 control from properly programmed IR keypads
and compatible repeater systems.
11 RF In (Plug-In) – Three-pin plug-in connector allows parallel connection of up to three RFX-250 RF
Sensors for extended range in large systems. Also used for RFID Input from RF OUT on a Master
MSC-400 in a Master/Slave System. (Max number of connected RFX-250 Sensors includes a sensor
connected to the RF IN mini jack.)
12 RF In (Mini Jack) – 3.5 mono mini jack connects to a single RFX-250 using the included 10' three-
circuit mini-mini plug cable. Also used for RFID Input from RF OUT on a Master MSC-400 in a
Master/Slave System. POLARITY: TIP=+5VDC; RING=data; SLEEVE=GND.
13 RF Out – 3.5 mono mini jack connects to the RF IN on a MSC-400 Slave unit in Master/Slave
Systems using two MSC-400 Controllers. This jack can also connect to the RF IN on a MRF Series
Basestation for control of system components located away from the main component area. POLARI-
TY: TIP=data; SLEEVE=GND.
14 USB2 – USB Type B port allows control of a Media Center PC.
15 DC 12V – 2.1mm coaxial jack connects to the included 12VDC, 3.5A power supply. POLARITY:
PIN=+12VDC; SLEEVE=GND.
16 12V Out – Two-pin plug-in connector terminal provides a constant 12VDC supply for MSC-400
Relays 1&2, when used with voltage controlled devices that require external 12VDC to activate.
NOTE: Total draw (Relays 1&2) should not exceed .5A.
17 Relay 2 – Three-pin plug-in connector terminal provides configurable switch closure modes for con-
trol of devices that require a switch closure for activation. Discrete Open and Close commands are
