Overview 

 

 

 

3  Overview 

The 

RC-7B 

RC-7BE 

is a highly versatile controller interface panel for the 

control of A/V equipment in any multimedia room, especially the control of 

a projector or other display device, via RS-232 and/or IR emitter cable. The 

RC-7B 

RC-7BE

 is 12V DC fed. The 

RC-7B

 is a one-gang wall plate. The 

RC-7BE

 is two-gang wall plate intended for the European market. 

In particular, the 

RC-7B 

RC-7BE

 features: 

 

VOLUME Up and VOLUME Down buttons 

 

ON, OFF, PC, DVD and VCR buttons, each of which can be 

programmed to carry out up to 15 commands, in sequence, with one 

press of a button 

In addition, the 

RC-7B 

RC-7BE

 includes: 

 

Two IR ports 

 

Two RS-232 serial ports for universal display 

 

An RS-485 serial port 

 

A 3.5mm CONFIG jack connector on the front panel for RS-232 

configuration and control 

 

An IR learner on the front panel for the customized control of external 

sources, absorbing the IR commands from different remote transmitters 

 

Control via the front panel buttons, and remotely, via RS-232 

To achieve the best performance: 

 

Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding 

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and 

elevated noise- levels (often associated with low quality cables) 

 

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position 

the 

RC-7B 

RC-7BE

 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
