Magic 3500 T-Max Help

[cosmo26062]

I Have just aquired a used Magic 3500 and everything is working perfectly except the T-Max interface. I have the black box
connected to the unit but I cannot figure out how to connect
it to my 3A. The black box connected to the magic is completely
sealed and has no way of being configured. (Opened the panel
and just an ADI board in it). It does have 3 ports on the bottom
that do accept the T-Max cable. The manual is absolutely no
help on this. Any Help would be greatly appreciated! Contacted Kip from Magic and he has not returned my call (it has been several days), which is why I am here now...

There is a special 3A that goes with it. It does not interface with a standard 3A. The black box goes into your daisy chain just like a 3A and then there is a special 3A that plugs into the black box for addressing and such. There are 3 RJ-22 phone connectors on the box. Two paired next to each other, these are your daisy chain connections and one that is separate, this one is for the special display.

You should be able to address it with the manager. Do you have a manager Pro or Plus? If so, you can plug in the manager into the black box and see what address it comes up as.

Then press call/menu, enter the level three security code press enter and when the mgr asks for get params hit next, it will display send params, hit enter. It will display what param, press 1, it will display what data, press the room number that you would like it to be then hit enter. Then reycle power on the mgr and let it scan to see if it changed the address. Then re install the mgr up front.

Thank You very much for the response! I have a Manager Pro so I will follow your instructions on addressing the box. If this works
is it necessary to purchase this proprietary 3a to run the magic or will the manager pro do the trick?

You need the special 3A timer for running magictan booths. It's almost entirely empty inside. It's not a standard 3A timer. A regular 3A timer will not work. Call ADI Tech and order the special timer for the booth.

As long as you can address it you will be fine. it is only a display and is not needed for remote operation. This only applies to single solution units. (single jug)

Thanks for all the help. We do have the 2 buckets/Solutions even though we'll only be using the one. The info got me pointed in the right direction so I have the MT 3A on order. Unfortunately it only comes with another black box $$. I guess these things are to be expected when you don't buy new.

This Business is tough enough, I'm thankful for this forum!
