Extron electronics eBUS Button Panel Decorator-Style Series Setup Manual

eBUS Button Panel Decorator-Style Series • Setup Guide
®
Overview
Extron offers a range of eBUS Button Panels (EBPs) in the decorator-style form factor that can be mounted in walls or furniture
in any standard US 1-gang opening. Each panel is a fully customizable AV system control interface for use with Extron IPCP Pro
Series control processors. Individual EBPs are easily configured and can be connected with other panels to provide control for
large and complex AV systems.
NOTE: These products are only for use with Extron UL Listed IPCP Pro control processors.
Each EBP button panel has two eBUS ports that support power and communications between the IPCP Pro control processor
and eBUS devices. Up to eight eBUS devices such as EBP button panels can be connected to the control processor and to each
other in various cabling topologies. Cabling topology refers to the physical layout of cabling interconnections between devices
in a network such as an eBUS system. eBUS systems can include daisy chain, star, or hybrid (a combination of both) system
topologies (see the eBUS Technology Reference Guide, available on
have a unique identification address (eBUS ID) within the system.
Setup involves setting eBUS ID DIP switches on the EBPs, then using Extron Global Configurator
software, the Toolbelt utility, or Global Scripter
AV system can be controlled from any of its EBPs.
This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced installer to install the EBP decorator-style series button panels.
For more details on the EBPs, see the eBUS Technology Reference Guide, available on www.extron.com. For details on
configuration or programming, see the software help files.
