Introduction
When it comes to Total Control, no system is complete without an MRX-10. Acting as the system's "brain," the
MRX-10 does all of the heavy lifting when it comes to control.
Communication is the MRX-10's strong point, both for incoming and outgoing commands. For incoming
commands, the on-board RF transceiver accepts communication from the TRC-780 and returns status and
metadata for true two-way feedback. All of the other remotes, keypads and touch panels in the Total Control
line take this communication to the next level by using IP over the local area network (LAN).
For outgoing commands to connected devices the MRX-10 is equipped for anything. Whether IR, RS-232,
relays, triggers or sensors, the MRX-10 can control virtually any device. In addition, for IP controlled devices
(thermostats, compatible AV gear, energy management, home security, and others) the MRX-10 issues
commands over the local network for control.

  • Page 1 MRX-10 Installation Introduction When it comes to Total Control, no system is complete without an MRX-10. Acting as the system’s “brain,” the MRX-10 does all of the heavy lifting when it comes to control. Communication is the MRX-10’s strong point, both for incoming and outgoing commands. For incoming commands, the on-board RF transceiver accepts communication from the TRC-780 and returns status and metadata for true two-way feedback.
  • Page 2 In the Total Control system, there is no more programming individual remotes. The MRX-10, as the brain of the system, is the device that requires all of the programming. All control interfaces (remotes, keypads and touch panels) are then “programmed” by the MRX-10 resulting in faster, more efficient programming.
  • Page 3 Ethernet: Illuminates when connected to a Network Router. On=Connected, Off=Not Connected, Blinking = attempting to connect. Reset: Press for one second and release button located under the MRX-10 to restart the unit. Pressing and holding the reset button for 15 seconds will set the unit to factory default.
  • Page 4 Relay NO, NC, COM: Provides configurable switch closure control. Sensors: Provides connection to up to four URC Voltage Sensors (VS-1006) or URC Video Sensors (VID-6) for status readings in sensor-based macros. 12V Output: Two programmable 12V/0.2A outputs. Each may be programmed to turn on, off or momentarily toggle its output.

    Wires are connected to the detachable connectors for use of the relays. Network Installation 1. Connect an Ethernet cable (RJ45) to the rear of the MRX-10 and into the network router or switch. 2. Connect your laptop into the same network router as the MRX-10.

    Optimizing IR Flasher Levels Test a few commands for each device before fixing the flasher in place on the front panel of a device. Since TiVo, Replay TV, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation, you should test them thoroughly.
  • Page 7 The MRX-10 can operate equipment via RS-232 communication. This allows discrete serial commands to be triggered from a Total Control remote and sent from the MRX-10 over the network connection. The signal is then sent to the device over proprietary URC RS-232 cables. These use either male or...
  • Page 8 Using Power/Video Sensors with the MRX-10 The MRX-10 can use either a Video (composite) or Voltage signal to determine the power status of the equipment it controls. This can then be used to alter the function of a Macro by using IF/ELSE statements in the programming software.
  • Page 9 Wiring to the Relay on the MRX-10 The MRX-10 has a Relay with three contacts, NO, NC, and Com. These can be used as dry contacts or to send a current to an electrical switch or motor for use with screens, blinds, curtains, etc. The Relay can be used as either a latching contact or a momentary contact depending on the programming.
