IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ESD Warning

• To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure you are properly grounded before touching any internal materials.
• When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper ESD grounding procedures must be followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive smocks, and conductive work mats are specifically designed for this purpose. These items should not be manufactured locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely drain static discharges, without increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.
• Anyone performing field maintenance should use an appropriate ESD field service kit complete with at least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL-listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord.

1. READ these instructions.
2. KEEP these instructions.
3. HEED all warnings.
4. FOLLOW all instructions.
5. DO NOT use this apparatus near water.
6. CLEAN ONLY with a dry cloth.
7. DO NOT block any ventilation openings. Install by the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. DO NOT install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. PROTECT the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

What’s New

• Supports multiple Harman protocols natively
  The MU-series controller speaks HControl, HiQnet, and ICSP right out of the box, allowing seamless integration with existing Harman gear. AMX touch panels, Crown DCi Amplifiers, BSS Contrio keypads, and Soundweb London devices are all available to the controller from these communication buses. Future Harman gear that is HControl aware will all work with the MU-series controllers.

• HControl
  Harman HControl is a new protocol that provides self-describing devices that share their capabilities to HControl-aware controllers. The readable and controllable parameters are furnished to the controller to allow dynamic updates of control possibilities.

• Standard Language Scripting Support
  Instead of using the proprietary NetLinx language for the business logic of a controlled space, the MU-series employs standard scripting languages. This currently includes:

  • Python3
  • JavaScript
  • Java with Groovy
    The use of standard languages opens the doors for the practically infinite resources available for learning and deploying these scripts. The programmer no longer has to go through AMX certification process to learn our specific language. They are free to take any course, read any book, or utilize any other resource they prefer to learn the available languages. Reaching out for questions is no longer limited to the AMX Forums or Tech Support. Industry favorite sites like Stack Overflow are there for reference and help.

• Duet Module and Driver Design Module support
  The MU-series platform still supports Duet modules. This gives you control of 1000s of devices from the AMX InConcert library. Complex devices like video conferencers and media servers will share the same uniform control set as they did in NetLinx, allowing you to integrate them without writing programs for their native API. Similar devices become interchangeable, so swapping out one display for another becomes a matter of pointing to a different Duet module. The controls the script sees are the same.

• USB Host
  The USB-A Host port is available for use with mass storage devices for convenient logging capabilities as well as to connect other devices such as the FLIRC IR receiver to add IR Hand Controls as an input to the system.

• USB-C Program Port
  The controller’s CLI is available from the USB-C port allowing the programmer to connect directly to find and configure properties like the IP address, known devices, running programs, and many more. The symmetrical USB-C connector can be inserted in either orientation. Once plugged in, the MU Controller presents as a virtual COM port. Use your favorite terminal program to communicate to the MU directly.

• ICSLan improvements
  For models with ICSLan (MU-1000, MU-2300, MU-3300) the network address and subnet mask are now selectable, providing a more flexible control network. The ICSLan still provides an isolated network for controlled devices that never touch the LAN connection. IT departments only see the one LAN address for a complete system.

Mounting the controller

• Mounting the MU-2300 and MU-3300
  Use the rack-mounting brackets (supplied with the MU-2300/3300) for equipment rack installations. Remove the mounting brackets and apply the rubber feet to the bottom of the controller for flat surface installations.

• Installing the Controller into an Equipment Rack
  The MU-2300/3300 each ship with removable rack ears for installation into an equipment rack.

• Rack Mount Safety Instructions for MU-2300 and MU-3300
  Be sure to follow these important safety instructions when installing your central controller:

  • If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature of 60°C (140°F).
  • Installing the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for the safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
  • Mounting the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
  • Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
  • Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

NOTE:
To avoid repeating the installation, test the incoming wiring by connecting the Controller’s connectors to their terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the unit is receiving power and functioning properly. Disconnect the terminal end of the power cable from the connected 12 VDC-compliant power supply.

1. Use the supplied #8-32 screws to secure the rack ears to the sides of the controller. You can attach the rack ears toward the front or rear panel for either a front-facing or rear-facing installation.
2. Slide the unit into the rack until the attachment holes, along both sides, align with their corresponding locations on the mounting brackets
3. Thread the cables through the opening in the equipment rack. Allow for enough slack in the cables to accommodate for movement during the installation process.
4. Reconnect all cables to their appropriate source/terminal locations. Refer to the Wiring and Connections section on page XXX for more detailed wiring and connection information. Verify that the terminal end of the power cable is not connected to the power supply before plugging in the 2-pin power connector
5. Secure the controller to the rack by using the four #10-32 screws supplied in the kit.
6. Apply power to the unit to complete the installation.

Mounting the MU-1000 and MU-1300
Mounting options for the MU-1000 and MU-1300 are as follows:

• Rack mounting with an AVB-VSTYLE-RMK-1U, V Style Module Rack Mounting Tray (FG1010-720)
• Surface mounting with an AVB-VSTYLE-SURFACE-MNT, V Style Single Module Surface Mount (FG1010-722)
• DIN Rail mounting with a VSTYLE DIN Rail Clip (AMX-CAC0001)

Consult the Mounting Options for V Style Modules Quick Start Guide included with the respective mounting kit for instructions on mounting the MU-1000 and MU-1300. The MU-1000 and MU-1300 also have rubber feet which you can apply to the bottom of the unit for table-top mounting.

Front Panel Components

Wiring and Connections

• Overview
  This chapter provides details, specifications, wiring diagrams, and other important information for all ports and connectors available on the MU-series controllers.

• Serial Ports
  The MU-series controllers each feature device control serial ports that support either RS-232 or RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication protocols. Each port supports the following specifications:

  • XON/XOFF (transmit on/transmit off)
  • CTS/RTS (clear to send/ready to send)
  • 300-115,200 baud rate

RS-232 Ports
The RS-232 ports (ports 2-4 and 5-8 on the MU-3300; ports 2-4 on the MU-2300; port 2 on the MU-1300) are 5-pin 3.5 mm Phoenix connectors used for connecting A/V sources and displays. These ports support most standard RS-232 communication protocols for data transmission.

• Each pair is configurable as IR or 1-way RS-232
• Baud rates for RS-232 are limited. Maximum Baud is 19200 in DATA mode
• RS-232 voltages are 0-5v, not +-12v. This limits the maximum distance based on the cable resistance to <10 ft
• IR carrier frequency up to 1.142 MHz
• All ports can be used simultaneously
• These ports accept an IR Emitter (CC-NIRC) that mounts onto the device’s IR receiver window

ICSLAN Ports

• The MU-1000/2300/3300 controllers have two types of Ethernet ports: LAN and ICSLAN.
• The LAN port is used to connect the controller to an external network, and the ICSLAN ports are used to connect to other AMX equipment or third-party A/V equipment. The ICSLAN ports on all models provide Ethernet Communication to connected AMX Ethernet Equipment in a way that is isolated from the primary LAN connection. The ICSLAN port is a 10/100 Port RJ-45 connector and Auto MDI/MDI-X enabled. The controller will listen on either port for Harman communication buses such as ICSP, HIQnet, and HControl.

Using the ICSLAN Network

• ICSLan Network Settings

  • The default IP address for the ICSLAN network is 198.18.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. You can set the subnet mask and network address for ICSLan on the MU controller’s built-in web server.
  • Note: The ICSLAN and LAN subnets mustn’t overlap. If the LAN port is configured such that its address space overlaps with the ICSLAN network, the ICSLAN network will be DISABLED.

• DHCP Server

  • The ICSLAN port has a built-in DHCP server. This DHCP server is enabled by default and will serve IP addresses to any connected devices set to DHCP mode. The DHCP server can be disabled from the MU controller’s built-in web server The DHCP address range is assigned to half the available IP addresses in the assigned subnet.
    Opening LAN and ICSLAN Sockets from Code

  • When opening sockets from any script there is no mechanism to indicate which network to use. The controller will open the socket on whichever network has an IP subnet that matches the address provided in the command to open the socket. There is no indication of which network was used, only whether the socket was created successfully.

• LAN 10/100 Port

  • All MU-series controllers feature a LAN 10/100 port to provide 10/100 Mbps communication via Category cable. This is an Auto MDI/MDI-X enabled port, which allows you to use either straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables. The port supports IPv4 and IPv6 networks, as well as HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, and FTP.
  • The LAN port automatically negotiates the connection speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), and whether to use half duplex or full duplex mode.

The LAN port gets its IP address(es) in one or more of the following ways:

IPv4

• Static assignment by the user
• Dynamic assignment by an IPv4 DHCP server
• Link-local as a fallback when configured for DHCP but unable to successfully obtain address

IPv6

• Link-local address
• Prefix(es) assigned by a router

INPUT PWR Connector
The MU-1300, MU-2300, and MU-3300 controllers feature a 2-pin 3.5 mm Phoenix connector with screw retention for providing DC power to the controller. The suggested power supply for the MU-series controllers is a 13.5 VDC 6.6 A output, suitable for 50° C.

Preparing Captive Wires
You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

NOTE: Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35mm) of insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section).
3. Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively, as doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

ID Pushbutton

All MU-series controllers feature an ID pushbutton which you can use to reset the default settings on the controller or restore the controller to its factory firmware image. The Status LED will indicate the action performed by changing color.

The ID Pushbutton functionality is as follows:

A configuration reset performs the following operations:
