Introduction Introduction Applicability Notice The information in this manual applies to the CP-10 Control Panel, which comes with many of the Modula pre-engineered systems or can be ordered as part of a custom system or as a remote control panel.
Status Key – queries the system for signal routing information and switch verification Level Key – prepares the system to receive a level identification number. When controlling a system with a CP-10, the terms “Level” and “VM (Virtual Matrix)” are interchangeable Change Key – prepares the system to accept a Change command Input (source) Key –...
A switch is an active connection between an input (source) device and one or more output (destination) devices. The signals routed in a switching operation are individual signals or groups of individual signals coming through the connectors on the rear of an enclosure. You can execute switches from the CP-10 using the steps below.

If necessary, use the left and right arrow keys to navigate through the entries. Press the Take Key. Input 1 is routed to Outputs 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the system returns to the Command screen. CP-10 Instruction Manual...
Verifying an input will display all outputs currently receiving the input’s signal. Once in Status mode, the CP-10 stays in Status mode until the Cancel Key is pressed. You can return to the Command screen at any time by pressing the Cancel Key.

Output 9 is not receiving a signal from an input. Press the Status Key to return to the Status screen and select another signal to verify. Press the Cancel Key to return to the Command screen. CP-10 Instruction Manual...
(including audio settings if applicable). A global preset number is assigned to a system state during runtime using the CP-10 Control Panel (or BCS commands) and is stored in the switcher’s non-volatile memory. That system state can then be restored at any time by selecting the assigned global preset number.
Note: Executing a local preset does not change any system routings that are not part of the preset. Make sure the CP-10 is on the level (virtual matrix) where the local preset resides. To return to the Command screen at any time, press the Cancel Key.
The system returns to the Command screen. Note: We strongly recommend keeping track of the numbers and system state routings used for global presets. If another system state is assigned to a previously used number, the former state will be automatically overwritten. CP-10 Instruction Manual...
At the Command screen, press the Preset Key. The Global Preset screen appears with the cursor after the Execute prompt. Enter “3.” Press the Take Key. Global Preset 3 is executed and the system returns to the Command screen. CP-10 Instruction Manual...
Checking the Software Version Checking the Software Version Use the following steps to check the software version of the CP-10 Control Panel. To check the software version: Press the Cancel Key. At the Command screen press the Program Key. The Software Version screen appears.
Installing a CP-10 Remote Control Panel Installing a CP-10 Remote Control Panel This chapter covers rack installation for the CP-10 Remote Panel (FG1090-216), as well as instructions for linking the panel to an enclosure. When the installation is complete, execute a test switch to make sure the system is working properly (see page 15).
Loosen the two outer screws on the connector. Insert the two wires from the CP-10 Remote into the two outer slots of the REMOTE connector on the matrix switcher, leaving the center slot empty (FIG. 6).
The instructions below are for using the (optional) AMX AutoPatch wall transformer. If you use the AMX AutoPatch transformer, the side of the wire with the white stripe is positive and the other side is ground.
Installing a CP-10 Remote Control Panel Rack Installation CP-10 Remote Panels are designed to fit in a standard EIA 19 in. (48.26 cm) rack. Once the CP-10 Remote is wired, follow the rack installation instructions below. Tip: When placing control panels, keep in mind that the optimal viewing angle is at eye level.

Installing a CP-10 Remote Control Panel Press the Level Key and enter “0.” Press the Input Key and enter “1.” Press the Output Key and enter “2.” Press the Take Key. Input 1 is routed to Output 2, and the system returns to the Command screen.
Appendix A – System Error Codes Appendix A – System Error Codes This appendix contains an overview of common error codes that can appear on a CP-10 Control Panel, provides basic troubleshooting strategies, and gives technical support contact information. Common System Error Codes The table below lists the error code, the name of the code, the meaning of the code, and some basic troubleshooting strategies (additional troubleshooting strategies are included on page 18).
Before contacting technical support with a question, please consult this manual. If you still have questions, contact your AMX representative or technical support. Have your system’s serial number ready. The system’s serial number is normally located on the rear of the enclosure; if not, remove the left expansion plate above the power receptacle and look inside the enclosure to the left.
