Front View
The enclosure, which is the structural basis of the Optima Distribution Matrix, is available in many
convenient pre-engineered sizes or can be custom built for your installation. An Optima enclosure may
have either a front control panel (CP-15 or CP-20A) or a blank front panel.
Although control panels are optional, we recommend one per system for system verification, redundant
control, and troubleshooting. Control panel illustrations and directions for use are provided in the
specific Instruction Manual for the control panel (available on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at
www.amx.com). For additional control options, see page 15.
