Description:
The Masking Director Controller family (IMC-300MKII-EM and IMC-300MKII-SL) are designed to control residential
and commercial bi-directional blind, drapery and projection screen single phase, bi-directional AC motors (three
wire motors--open, close, neutral connections).
The IMC-300MKII-xx series of Controllers can be controlled through a number of remote control devices, including
keypads, dry contact outputs, low-voltage trigger outputs, local and remote Infrared control, IP (Internet Protocol),
and computer-based signaling sources (serial communication) such as those manufactured by AMX, Control4,
Crestron, Elan, OnControls, RTI, Vantage and others with IP (Internet Protocol) or Serial (RS-232c) interfaces.
The IMC-300MKII-ss series of Controllers can accommodate incoming voltages encountered throughout the world
(100vAC to 240vAC). Please note that if powering a system with 120vAC for example, only motors rated at 120v
will be supported. Similarly, if powering a Masking Director system with 240vAC as an alternative, only motors rated
at 240vAC will be supported.
Warning Notice
: There is no internal voltage conversion to support 120v motors when the unit is plugged into a
240vAC mains supply.
TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES AND
REGULATIONS
Important Information:
•
Carefully read the instructions appropriate for your needs.
•
This control must be installed by a qualified electrician.
•
For supply connections, use wires rated for at least 75 C.
•
WARNING—FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE, REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME TYPE AND
RATING OF FUSE.
•
Use Copper or Aluminum Conductors.
•
For indoor use only.
•
Do not connect Low-Voltage to Line-Voltage Power.
•
Article 725-54(a), (1) Exception No. 3 (NEC) or Canadian CE Code Handbook, Rule 16-212, Sub rule (4) requires
segregation between line voltage and Class 2 (low voltage) circuits. Low Voltage/network wires should enter
enclosure boxes through separated openings. Also, conductors shall be separated by at least ¼” or segregated
by barriers. Check with your local electrical inspector or compliance with local/national codes and wiring
practices.
•
Earth Ground terminal connection must be made as shown in wiring diagrams.
•
Proper short-circuit and overload protection must be provided at the circuit breaker distribution panel. You can
use up to a 20A maximum circuit breaker with adequate short-circuit breaking capacity for your installation.

Mounting Instructions
Your controller may be pre-mounted in an existing device. However, in some cases, you may have to
mount the controller in wall box. If so, please follow the directions below:
Directions
a.
Determine location for wall box. Determine a suitable mounting location for the IMC-300MKII-xx
Controller(s) either convenient to the motor that it will be controlling or to the specific user interface
control (keypad, IP, serial, etc.) that will be operating the Controller.
b.
Select suitable wall box type and install Controller. Install within either a 5” x 7.75” x 2.75” metal or
VO-rated plastic electrical box (106.56 cu in. or larger).
