Caution
One MX-232-IO-Box must not
be connected to one camera
via USB
and MxBus at the
same time!
It is likewise disallowed to
connect one MX-232-IO-Box
to several cameras!
Note
If you would like to use twice
the number of signal inputs
and outputs, you can attach
two MX-232-IO-Box modules
to one camera, one via USB
and one via MxBus!

Changing the Mode of Output Out1
In order to use output
Out1
as powered output, you need to
stick the jumper on the jumper pins
J1
at the right as shown in
the figure. The other jumper will be used in the future and must
not
be used at present. When connecting, use the terminals
Out1 A
and
Out2 –
.
Please note that the total output rating of the MX-232-IO-Box is
split between the two powered outputs in this mode (see
«Technical
Specifications»). In this mode, the max. cable length for
Out1
is
also 50 m (55 yd).
Output Out1:
Operating mode can switched to
"powered output" using the supplied
jumper J1!
Jumper
J2
for future
extensions –
do not
use!
