Color Graphics, But Text Based,
The 2” (176 x 220) pixel screen is populated with colorful
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 Color 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 (special order)
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.
