MX Series Relay Receiver Systems
Product Information
The MX8 and MX16 Relay Receivers (FIG. 1) are radio frequency (RF) or infrared (IR) controlled
relay systems. Receivers for the systems include 8 (MX8) or 16 (MX16) momentary closure relays.
Models with an IRX suffix (MX8-IRX or MX16-IRX) are IR controlled and support up to 4
IRX-UM+ external IR sensors.
Specifications
MX8 (IRX) and MX16 (IRX) Specifications
Power input
• 12 to 18 VDC 100 mA minimum (PS2.8 power supply adapter supplied with each
MX8 and MX16 system)
• IRX-UM(+) or IRX-SM(+) external IR receivers require an additional 25 mA each.
IR sensor
IRX-DM+ (one included with MX8-IRX or MX16-IRX units)
Receiver
• RF: 418 MHz
• IR (with external IR sensor): 418 MHz
Relays
• MX8 (IRX): 8 momentary contacts UL rated at: 1A @ 30 VDC / 0.5 A @ 120 VAC
• MX16 (IRX): 8 momentary contacts UL rated at: 1A @ 30 VDC / 0.5 A @ 120 VAC
Front panel components:
MX8 (IRX)
No front panel components.
MX16 (IRX)
Connectors for 8 relay output connections (in addition to the 8 on the rear panel).
Rear Panel Components (MX8 and MX16):
RF Receiving antenna: Extends from the rear panel (on RF models only). Extend the antenna vertically
during use.
PWR connector:
2-pin captive-wire connector receives power from the included 12 VDC AC to DC
power module or from a 12 V to 18 V DC, 100 mA min. power source.
IR INPUT connector:
