Connect ONE (only) of either of the
RFX-250’s RF OUT connectors to
ONE (only) of either of the RF IN con-
nectors on the MSC-400 using either
your cable or the supplied cable.
Note that 5V and GND positions are
different on the RFX-250 compared to the MSC-400. The
Data connects to Data, 5 V connects to 5V and GND con-
nects to GND.
USB2
This port allows
keyboard control
of a PC. This port
cannot be used
for programming.
DC12V
Plug the
included AC
adapter in
here to power
the MSC-400.
IR Input
This port enables an
IR Keypad or connect-
ing block to route IR
signals to all emitters.
RF Input
This port con-
nects to up to
three RFX-250s
in parallel.
RF Output
This port connects
to other MRF or
MSC units in the
same location.
IR and RS232 Outputs
For RS-232:
Connect to Outputs 7-12 only. Order either
RS232M
(Male connector
for component) or
RS232F
(Female connector for component). No RS232 cables
are included with the MSC-400.
For IR:
Outputs 1-6 are IR only. Outputs 7-12 can be used for either RS232 or IR.
Standard emitters can be used on 1-6, sleeved emitters should be used for Outputs
7-12. Control the IR output level via the adjustment screws on the top panel.
Video or Voltage Sensor Inputs
Sense video via the
VID-6
Video sensor (six to a box) or sense
a 3-25 V AC or DC voltage via the VS-100 Voltage Sensor
(Order the
VS1006
, six VS-100s to a box). The VS-100 Voltage
Sensor is necessary when using other manufacturer’s current,
light or RF sensors.No video or voltage sensors are included
with the MSC-400.
Relays 1 and 2
Each relay is compatible with Low Voltage applications (less
than 30V with no more than .5 amps maximum current). The
relay can be programmed to Open, Close or Toggle its state in
three ways: 1. Latching 2. Momentary for a specified time 3.
Momentary for as a long as the button is pressed and held.
12V Output
This is not programmable,
simply a convenient power
supply for any Relay 1 or 2
controlled device that needs
12V (less than .5 amp).

Combining Two MSC-400’s in Master Slave Configuration
Master
Slave
When configuring two MSC-400’s to be a single Master/Slave combination, the following connec-
tions must be made:
A. All RFX-250s must be connected to the MASTER (10’ cable is included).
B.The MASTER RF OUT is connected to the SLAVE RF IN (10’ cable is included).
C. An RS232 accessory cable must connect between the #12 RS232 ports of both the MASTER
and the SLAVE (this cable is not included, order the
MS-01
Master/Slave cable.
RS-232 Connector
for Outputs 7-12. None
are included with the
MSC-400. Order
RS232M
(Male DB-9 connector for
component) or
RS232F
(Female DB-9 connector
for component).
Sleeved Emitter
for Outputs 7-12. Can
be used with 1-6 as
well.None are includ-
ed with the MSC-400.
Order
IRS6
- Six
sleeved emitters in
one box.
Standard Emitter for
Outputs 1-6 (can be used
temporarily in Outputs 7-12).
Compatible with MRF-300.
Six are included with the
MSC-400. Order
