3.8. GPI Remote Control Ports
The rear panel of the MIMO88 offers 8 GPI inputs (16) for 0-10 VDC continuous control voltage. Each of
these inputs can be connected to an external physical device (potentiometer, contact closure, continuously variable
voltage 0-10V DC, etc.) and assigned to a MIMO88 function, as for example:
•
Input, output channel or matrix crosspoint volume remote control by means of a WPVOL physical
knob or an Ecler WP Series WPVOL-IR remote control
•
MUTE or SOLO activation/deactivation by means of a switch or contact closure
•
Recalling a
preset
with a push button or contact closure
GPI connectors are screw terminal blocks with three-contacts. The wiring is as follows:
Positive, + 10 VDC

Examples of connection
Connecting cables can be up to 500 meters with a minimum section of 0.5 mm

Consult your ECLER dealer or www.ecler.com about the WP series remote control wall panels and other
accessories available for connection to the REMOTE/VCA port.
3.9. GPO Remote Control Ports
The rear panel of the MIMO88 offers 8 NO/NC (normally open/ normally closed) relay outputs (15). Each of
these outputs may be assigned to a MIMO88 function, such as a button of EclerNet Manager (MUTE key, SOLO
key, etc.). This makes it possible to interact with external devices such as projection screen motors or movable
partitions, lights, sirens, other equipment GPI entries, etc.
