Before You Start
The Serial Extender is an important element of the RC9001 System and makes it possible to
control A/V equipment via RF in the entire house. In addition, it can be connected to A/V equipment
via RS232 and allows you to use power sensing for reliable power on/off switching. You can also
use it to control drapes and projector lifts, for example.
In order to use the Extender in a Wireless Network:
•Install the Extender: connect it to a router and external equipment, like a TV or receiver.
•Configure the Extender: connect it to the PC and use the Configuration Tool.
The Extender is used in a network with a Wireless Access Point and/or a router, as illustrated
below.

Connecting the Extender to External Equipment
The Extender can be connected to external equipment through the various outputs on the back
panel.
Warning Make sure that the equipment is always turned off before connecting it to the Extender.
Attaching the Extender to Infrared Controlled A/V equipment
For the Extender to transmit an IR signal, you need to connect it to the A/V component via the IR
Output on the back of the Extender. In contrast to previous Marantz Extenders, the RX9001 has no IR
blaster.
To connect the Extender to infrared controlled A/V equipment, use one of the following cables
enclosed with the Extender:
• a Dual IR emitter;
-or-
• a mini-jack IR cable.
Insert the mini-jack in the Extender
and attach an emitter to the infrared
display of the infrared controlled
device.
Insert one mini-jack in the
Extender and the other in the
infrared controlled device.
Adjusting the Power Level of the IR Outputs
At the back of the Extender there are 4 dipswitches, one for each IR output. Use these dipswitches
to reduce the power level of the Dual IR emitters and the mini-jack cables.
This is useful when you suspect that the IR signal is too strong for the receiving A/V component, or
when you connect the IR port to an external IR-bus system.

Using the Sensor Inputs
When the Control Panel sends out a macro to switch multiple A/V components on or off, discrete
codes are normally used to ensure the state of the component. In some cases, only toggle codes are
available: one command toggles between the on and off state, and there is no separate command
for switching the component on and switching it off. In this event, the system may get out of sync.
This problem can be solved by using power sensing:
• A power sensor connected to an A/V component can detect whether it is switched on or off.
By connecting the power sensor to the Extender, this information is subsequently transmitted to
the Extender.
• Some A/V components, such as receivers, have mini-jack outputs specifically for this purpose.
These mini-jack outputs can be connected to the power sense inputs on the Extender.
• For video sources, video sensor modules can be used.
Make sure that you create the specific power sensing commands in the action list of
Wizz.it Ex.
Note Sensor modules are not delivered with the Extender, but most available modules are
compatible with the Extender. The power sense inputs are triggered by a voltage input
between 5V and 30V.
Use this wiring
solution if the
sensor module’s
output provides a
voltage level.
Use this wiring
solution if the
sensor module is
powered by the
Extender (the output
is a relay).
Use standard wiring and
Phoenix connectors.

Connecting to Serial Equipment
There are two ways to connect serial equipment to the Extender:
Note For most A/V components a standard female to male or female RS232 cable can be used.
