Wiring for RS-232 control (RS models only)
The MLC 52 RS and the MLC 52 RS VC send out RS-232 commands via the Tx port
for controlling a projector or a plasma display.
If you have an RS model and want to control the display device via RS-232, connect
a cable between the device and this 3.5 mm, 6-pole direct insertion captive screw
connector. Use the illustration below as a guide to wiring the connector. Wiring
varies depending on the display device model. In most cases only the transmit (Tx)
and ground connections are needed.
Guides for connecting and controlling specific models of devices are available on
the Extron Web site.

Wiring for RS-232 control (RS models only)
Extron recommends using the UC 50’ universal projector control cable for this
connection. One end of the cable is terminated with a female 9-pin D connector,
and the other end is unterminated. The UC 50’ pin assignments are as shown in
the following illustration.
Refer to the display device manual for the device’s pin assignments in order to
determine which of the cable’s wires to connect to which of the MLC’s RS-232 pins.
