The NovaStar MFN300 multifunction card provides auxiliary control for LED display installations, including eight power-switch channels, four light-sensor connections and audio output. RJ45 Ethernet connections integrate the card with the receiving-card chain, while RS232 provides a connection to the control computer.

Choosing the card for an installation
Plan the light-sensor locations, environmental monitoring connections and power-switch wiring before installation. Use the matching specification for electrical ratings and pin assignments; the number of switch channels is not a supply-power rating.
If you need an enclosed unit, review the MFN300-B multifunction box separately. Its sensor count and connection instructions differ from this card.

MFN300 FAQ
How many power switches can the MFN300 control?
It supports eight power-switch control channels. Check the electrical ratings and connection diagram for the board before wiring a load.
How many light sensors can I connect?
The MFN300 supports four light-sensor connections for automatic brightness adjustment.
Does the MFN300 support temperature and humidity monitoring?
Yes. The original listing and Rev2.1.0 specification list power distribution box temperature and humidity detection, together with external module connection.
How does the MFN300 connect to the control system?
It communicates through RS232 or Gigabit Ethernet. Rev2.1.0 describes Ethernet connection between receiving cards or at the end of the chain; follow its wiring diagrams for the installation.
Is the MFN300 the same as the MFN300-B?
MFN300 is the multifunction card; MFN300-B is an enclosed multifunction box. Review their separate specifications, particularly sensor ports and connection arrangements, before choosing.
