Colour with
OpenArchitecture Programming
Colour Graphics, But
Text Based,
The 2” (176 x 220) pixel screen is populated with
colourful backgrounds and
icons automatically. When programming, the installer
focuses on text label customization instead of
arranging icons. Any button can be dragged and
dropped to any position via the power of MX-880
Editor.
Fast, Structured Programming
Instead of reprogramming a similar system,
programmers can freely import codes and macros from
MX-900 files via Device Import, or simply open an
MX-900 file in MX-880 Editor and make modifications
to it, then save it as an MX-880 file.
When starting from scratch, MX-880’s open
architecture enables the installer to start a new
project with any template. By following the steps of
the Program Menu, the installer quickly creates a
finished working setup. Once tested and refined, the
installer can freely experiment with any of the Colour
Graphic themes without affecting the setup.
Additionally, companies with their own custom
graphics can add them to the visible themes in the
Editor by simply creating
matching and correctly sized artwork in a new folder
in the Graphics directory of MX-880 Editor.
Powerful Macro Programming
Macro programming in MX-880 Editor enables the
installer to freely create sophisticated status
screens in macros, since there is no limit to the
number of page jumps inside a macro. With the
ability to nest a macro inside another macro, an
installer can create a complex routine, label it
descriptively and simply alias to it in one step.
Variables can be used to track power status, users,
rooms, or to create options that change in all
macros based on one button press by the user.
Narrow Band RF in either
418MHz or 433MHz
Narrow Band ensures that broad
band RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) will
be ignored. However, RFI can also be site specific
and centered on a particular band. For this reason,
the MX-880 can be specified in either the standard
418MHz version or the MX-880i 433MHz Narrow Band
version. Ensure reliability with the Narrow Band
RFX-250 or RFX-250i (433MHz). The RFX-250 is
included with both the MRF-350 Routing Base Station
and the MSC-400 Master System Controller (specify
“i” series for 433 MHz versions).
MSC-400 Compatibility
The MX-880 is compatible with the ultra-reliable
MSC-400 “Trigger” protocol, which enables complex
macros, stored in the MSC-400, to be individually
triggered with a single button push on the MX-880
regardless of the interference and noise in the
environment. The combination of very narrow
transmission of digitally encoded packets sent THREE
times at digital speeds in milliseconds assures that
every button press on the remote will be received by
the MSC-400. The MSC-400’s sophisticated error
correction circuitry stores all three packets and
compares them. Once two packets are identified as
identical, the MSC-400 goes to work. This new
technology not only increases range, but increases
reliability by a vast margin. |

All Complete Control™ Remotes Now Use Narrow
Band RF
The latest versions of URC’s Complete Control
remotes use rock-solid Narrow Band RF for
improved resistance to RF interference. The
Complete Control line-up includes the following
remote controls:
MX-3000, TX-1000, MX-950,
MX-900, MX-850, MX-650 and MX-350—and the very
new MX-980, MX-810, MX-880 and MX-6000. In
Narrow Band RF base stations, URC offers the
MRF-350 and the new MRF-260. The MSC-400 Master
System Controller also uses Narrow Band RF. The
MRF-350 and MSC-400 come complete with an
RFX-250 Narrow Band RF antenna.
All Complete Control remotes manufactured after
November 1, 2006 (and all MX-3000s since April
2005) are compatible and utilize the new Narrow
Band RF technology.
You can identify the build date of a URC remote
control by looking at the serial number. The
first six digits indicate the build date. If the
serial number appears as 122905 014054, for
example, the first six digits tell you that the
remote was built on December 29, 2005.
