About the MLCPlus84Series
The MLCPlus84Series Controllers integrate Ethernet connection into AV systems to
allow users to remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot AV equipment. This equipment
includes but is not limited to display devices, switchers, source devices, and various other
items such as lights, a projector lift, or a screen motor. They can be used in a distributed
control system environment or as stand-alone controllers.
All models feature the same ports and same functions, but each model offers a different
mounting option. The D model provides buttons for volume control and the EU and MK
models provide a knob for volume control. The buttons and knob can be reconfigured for
other uses, if desired.
The MLCPlus84D fits a standard US two-gang junction box or mud ring and a
decorator-style wallplate.

Rev. F: Added the SSL
blurb.
MLC Plus 84 Series • Introduction 5
Device Control
The MLCPlus must be configured in one of the following ways before it can send
commands to a projector, display, or other device:
An IR, RS-232, or Ethernet driver file can be downloaded from
the extensive Extron driver selection from the Extron website
(http://www.extron.com/download/index.aspx). The driver is saved to a folder
and commands from the driver are incorporated into the GC configuration file for the
controller. The configuration file is built and uploaded to the MLCPlus via GC.
If a driver is not already available, RS-232 or Ethernet command strings can be
entered directly from a host computer using GlobalConfigurator. These can then be
incorporated into controls within the GC project.
See the Global Configurator Help File (which comes with the software) for details on setting
up the MLCPlus and for downloading, programming, or learning device control commands.
About Global Configurator (with GCProfessional and GCPlus Modes)
Use Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage the MLCPlusSeries controller and
other Extron control products. Configure the controller using Extron Global Configurator
software running in Global Configurator Professional (GCProfessional) or Global
Configurator Plus (GC Plus) mode.
Global Configurator:
Loads device drivers for monitoring the status of and controlling devices within the AV
system.
Creates the configuration containing all the settings for the controller and the products
with which it interacts in the AV system.
Uploads the configuration to the unit.
To obtain Extron control product software, you must have an Extron Insider account and
contact an Extron support representative. Extron provides training to our customers on how
to use the software. Access to Global Configurator Professional is available to users who
successfully complete Extron Control Professional Certification.
PC System Requirements
To find the minimum hardware and software requirements for the PC you use to configure
the MLCPlus84 Series:
Visit the Download page (http://www.extron.com/download/index.aspx) on the
Extron website and navigate to web page for the specific software package (such as
Global Configurator). Minimum system requirements are listed in the description section.
In some cases, minimum device firmware version requirements are also listed there.
If system requirements are not listed on the software package web page, contact an
Extron support representative.
IR commands can be entered directly from an IR remote
control through IR learning via GC to create a driver that
the control processor can use. IR learning is seldom
needed, but it is convenient for installing new or updated
commands into the MLCPlus84Series in the field in
the rare cases when a driver is not already available from
Extron.

If the controller will be installed into fine furniture, it is best to hire a licenced,
bonded craftsperson to cut the access hole and perform the physical installation so
the surface will not be damaged.
S’il est prévu d’installer le contrôleur dans du beau mobilier, il est préférable de
faire appel à un artisan autorisé et qualifié pour couper le trou d’accès et réaliser
l’installation de telle façon que la surface ne soit pas endommagée.

ATTENTION:
Follow all national and local building and electrical codes that apply to the
installation site.
Respectez tous les codes électriques et du bâtiment, nationaux et locaux, qui
s’appliquent au site de l’installation.
For the installation to meet UL requirements and to comply with National Electrical
Code (NEC), the MLC must be installed in a ULListed junction box. The end user
or installer must furnish the junction box. It is not included with the unit.
Pour que l’installation respecte les exigences UL et soit conforme au National
Electrical Code (NEC) américain, le MLC doit être installé dans une boîte de
dérivation certifiée UL. Il incombe à l’utilisateur final ou à l’installateur de fournir la
boîte de dérivation. Cet équipement n’est pas inclus avec l’unité.
NOTE: Read any installation instructions and regulatory guidelines that come with the
mounting devices (raceway, junction box, surface mounting box) before installing the
raceway or box.
Select and prepare the site before cabling the controller. This may include cutting a hole
in the installation surface or installing a cabling raceway, running the cables to that site,
installing the wall box, and pulling cables through it.
Accessibility and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance
When planning where to install the MLCPlus84, consider factors affecting accessibility of
the controller such as height from the floor, distance from obstructions, and how far a user
must reach to press the buttons. For guidelines, see sections 307(“Protruding Objects”)
and 308(“ReachRanges”) of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design available at
http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2010ADAStandards/2010ADAStandards.pdf.

MLCPlus84D Site Preparation
The MLCPlus84D fits a standard US two-gang junction box or mud ring and
decorator-style wallplate. Optional mud rings, ULListed junction boxes, external junction
boxes, and surface mounting boxes are available for use with the MLCPlus84. Read any
installation instructions and UL guidelines that come with the mounting devices, then install
the box or mud ring in the opening at the installation site. To prepare the site:
1. Using the size of the junction box or mud ring for reference, cut the hole in the mounting
surface. Protect the surface prior to and during cutting so the surface is not damaged.
NOTES:
The approximate cutout dimensions for an Extron-supplied mud ring are
4.1" W x 3.75" H (104 mm W x 95 mm H).
If mounting the MLCPlus 84D directly to the mounting surface, cut a hole of
approximately 3.6” W x 2.9” H (91 mm W x 74 mm H).
2. Run cables to the mounting location, leaving
enough slack for device installation.
3. Install the junction box or mud ring
(see figure 6) into the wall or
furniture.
4. Secure the cables with
a clamp for strain relief
and so they do not slip
back down into the wall
or furniture.

MLCPlus84EU and MLCPlus84MK Site Preparation
The MLCPlus84EU fits a standard two-gang European wall (junction) box or external
wall box. The MLCPlus84MK fits a standard two-gang MK-type junction box or external
wall box. These models may not fit in all in-wall junction boxes, so check the fit prior to
installation. The installer must provide the box. Read any installation instructions and
regulatory guidelines that come with the wall box before installation. To prepare the site:
1. For installation into a wall or furniture: Measure, mark, and carefully cut a hole in
the mounting surface.
If using a wall box, use the box as the reference for what size hole to cut.
If mounting directly to the mounting surface, use the following hole sizes:
MLCPlus 84EU: 114.3 mm W x 50.8 mm H (4.50 inches W x 2.00 inches H).
MLCPlus 84MK: 113.0 mm W x 55.9 mm H (4.45 inches W x 2.20 inches H).
For all types of installations (EU model only): Run cables to the junction box and
secure the cables with a clamp.
2. Secure the box to the raceway, stud, wall, or furniture.
3. For wall mount installations, attach the mounting bracket (metal) to the junction box
or external wall box.
For raceway installations, install the plastic spacer
(if needed for the EU model), then attach the
mounting bracket to the junction box or external wall
box and raceway.
NOTE: If using a cable raceway, you may need
to insert a plastic spacer between the raceway
and the mounting bracket to close a gap and
make the installation flush and secure. See
the diagram in figure 7 at right.
The spacer looks like the mounting bracket,
but has “Optional Spacer” and “Place behind
bracket” stamped into its surface. The spacer
also has a slightly larger center opening than
the mounting bracket does.

a. Hold the mounting bracket with the desired side facing you and feed the cables
through the bracket.
To install the MLCPlus84 securely so it cannot easily be removed after
installation, hold and install the bracket so that the side labeled “Front” faces
out toward you and the unlabeled side faces the wall or furniture.
