Owner’s Manual
Introduction
The MRX-30 Advanced Network System Controller controls is designed to meet the
needs of large residential or small commercial environments.
Only Total Control software, products, and user interfaces are supported by
this powerful device.
This device is not compatible with Total Control 1.0 legacy products.
Features and Benefits
- Stores and issues command for all IP, IR, RS-232, Relays, Sensors, and 12V Triggers controlled devices.
- Provides two-way communication with Total Control user interfaces. (remotes and keypads).
- Easy rack-mounting via the included rack-mounting ears.
Parts List
The MRX-30 Advanced Network Controller includes:
- 1x MRX-30 System Controller
- 1x AC Power Adapter
- 1x Power Cord
- 1x Adjustment Tool
- 1x Ethernet Cable
- 12x IR Emitters 3.5mm (standard)
Front Panel Description
The front panel consists of two (2) indicator lights that illuminate during usage:
-
Power: Indicates that the MRX-30 is powered when illuminated.
-
Ethernet: When the device has a valid Ethernet connection, the indicator light remains a solid blue.
-
Status Light: Two (2) possible states:
■ Status Light On: Connected to LAN and internet.
■ Status Light Off: Connected to LAN, no internet or Ethernet cable has been unplugged. -
Reset Press once to power cycle the device.
Rear Panel Description
Below are the ports located at the rear of the MRX-30:
- Relays (NO, NC, or COM): Six (6) programmable relays.
- 12V OUT: Four (4) programmable outputs. Each port may be programmed to turn on, off, or momentarily toggle.
- Sensors: Six (6) programmable sensor ports, compatible with all URC sensors.
- Power: Attach the included power supply here.
- LAN: RJ45 10/100/1000 Ethernet port.
- IR Outputs: 12 standard 3.5mm IR emitter ports with variable output level adjustment screws
- RS-232: Six (6) RS-232 serial ports (TX, RX, and GND) for wired one-way or two-way communication.
Installing the MRX-30
The MRX-30 Advanced Network System Controller can be installed almost anywhere
in the home.
Once physically installed, it requires programming by a certified URC
integrator in order to operate local equipment using IP (Network), RS-232
(Serial), IR (Infrared), or
relays. All cables must be connected to their respective ports at the rear of
the device.
Network Installation
1. Connect an Ethernet cable (RJ45) to the rear of the MRX-30 and the onto an
available LAN port of the network’s local router (Luxul preferred).
2. A certified URC integrator is required for this step, configure the MRX-30
to a DHCP/MAC reservation within the local router.
Connecting IR Emitters
IR emitters are used to communicate to AV devices such as cable boxes,
televisions, Blu-ray players, and more.
-
Plug IR Emitters (twelve (12) supplied in the box) into any of the twelve (12) IR outputs available on the rear of the MRX-30.
All IR outputs include an adjustable sensitivity dial. Turn this dial to the right to increase the gain and to the left to decrease it. -
Remove the adhesive covering from the emitter and place it over the IR receiver of the 3rd party device (cable box, television, etc.).
Connecting RS-232 (Serial)
The MRX-30 can operate equipment via RS-232 communication. This allows
discrete serial commands to be triggered from the Total Control system.
Connect RS-232 devices using URC’s proprietary RS-232 cables. These use either
male or female DB-9 connections with standard pin-outs.
- Connect the 3.5mm to the RS-232 Output available on the MRX-30.
- Connect the Serial connection to the available port on the 3rd party device, such as AVRs, Televisions, Matrix Switchers, and other devices.
