The MLC Plus 84 EU fits most standard two-gang European wall boxes. The MLC Plus 84 MK fits most standard two-gang
MK-type wall boxes. These two models are identical except for the EU- or MK-specific wallplates and mounting hardware.
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install an MLC Plus 84 Series controller and to create a basic
configuration. Configure the controller using Extron Global Configurator (GC) software running in Global Configurator Professional
(GC Professional) or Global Configurator Plus (GC Plus) mode. The MLC integrates with Extron GlobalViewer
software and the GlobalViewer Web-based AV resource management for remote control applications. Global Configurator and
other useful software applications are available at www.extron.com.
