REMOTE CONTROLS
Wall-Mount (Biamp #909-0075-00): The Wall-Mount is a "hard-wired" control, which is powered
by the PMX84. There are no batteries to wear out, and it is not easily lost or stolen. The Wall-
Mount may be wired up to 2000 feet from the PMX84, using 2-conductor shielded cable (not
included). To install the Wall-Mount, first remove the mounting box from the front panel. Route
the cable through a "knock-out" hole on the rear of the mounting box. Install the mounting box in
a wall or panel. Three screw terminals on the circuit board ("GND", "IR2", & "IR3") correspond to
"Remote Input" terminals on the rear of the PMX84. Connect the cable shield to the "GND"
terminals at each end. Use the two conductors to connect "IR2" to "IR2" & "IR3" to "IR3". Install
the front panel on the mounting box. The Wall-Mount has twenty-eight buttons. Each button is
labelled with both a number and a letter, as a generic button reference. From the factory,
remote control buttons are non-functional and may be programmed to perform functions only
through Configuration (see Configuration on pg. 10). During Configuration, each remote control
button may be defined as an individual input/output assignment, or as multiple input/output
assignments (such as a preset). Control buttons are defined to affect input/output assignments
using ‘on’, ‘off’, ‘toggle’, and ‘no operation’ functions. Each control button can have different
functions assigned to it, depending upon which Remote Input (1~4) it is received from. This is
an effective way to customize remote control functions for specific zones or locations. By
downloading a specific file (‘startup.pmx’) during Configuration, the PMX84 may be programmed
so that each button assigns a specific input to a specific output. Under these circumstances, the
button labelling indicates which input (number) is assigned to which output (letter). (Example:
button ‘1 A’ assigns Input 1 to Output A; button ‘2 B’ assigns Input 2 to Output B; button ‘3 C’
assigns Input 3 to Output C; button ‘4 D’ assigns Input 4 to Output D; etc.). This file does not
allow Input 8 to be assigned via the Transmitter. It is reserved as an ‘emergency/all-call’ input,
which can be assigned to Outputs A~D using the Override terminal (see Rear Panel Features on
pg. 3). This file also designates a ‘toggle’ function for the remote control buttons. This ‘toggle’
function works as a ‘push-on/push-off’ assignment. (Example: pressing button ‘7 A’ once
assigns Input 7 to Output A; pressing button ‘7 A’ again un-assigns Input 7 from Output A; etc.).
The red LED will flash whenever the Wall-Mount is transmitting information. The Wall-Mount
includes an infrared detector, which allows it to operate as an Infrared Receiver, as well. The
infrared detector may be disabled via an internal circuit board jumper strap (labelled "IR RECV").
NOTE: Defualt button definitions are all ‘no operation’.

ADVANTAGE PMX84
Remote Interface Kit (Biamp #909-0041-00): The Remote Interface Kit allows the user to create a customized control panel, using his
own momentary switches, enclosure, and panel. It can provide up to 40 buttons (12 more than standard remote controls), which are
supported by the PMX84. The Remote Interface Kit is a tested circuit board assembly, which includes two wiring harnesses. The circuit
board connects to the PMX84 in exactly the same way the Infrared Receiver or Wall-Mount does, using 2-conductor shielded cable (not
included), and may be wired up to 2000 feet from the PMX84. The circuit board is 2.27"W by 2.65"H, with four mounting holes (2" centers)
and #6 mounting hardware provided.
