BATTERY LIFE This product uses 2 x AAA batteries. You should get around 12 months use out of

your batteries depending on usage. If your usage is heavy we recommend Lithium

batteries to extend the life. The batteries are housed in a sealed compartment and

should remain dry. If the product is installed in a humid climate you should check the

batteries every six months to make sure they do not get damp or rust.

LIMITATIONS OF PRODUCT This product has been tested and works with a very wide variety of data projectors,

LCD screens, and Plasma screens. Some display products use different IR code

standards, so we do not guarantee this control module will control all available

display products. Many motorized projection screens use different codes and

therefore cannot be controlled by this product.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The Techconnect IR Control is designed to replicate the function of your projector or at-panel

IR remote control. By using the Techconnect Control you will present users with a standardized

way of controlling their equipment, and the original remote control can be safely locked away.

1. SEPARATE FRONT PANEL FROM REAR Gently separate the front panel from the rear chassis.

The front panel is held on by clips on each side towards the front.

2. LOAD BUTTONS The front panel comes pre-loaded with a common conguration of buttons.

You will need to change buttons to suit the projector you are controlling. For example, if the

remote control you are learning from has separate on and off buttons, you will need to use that

button set in the Techconnect Control. Likewise for the source selection buttons some projector

remotes use a single toggle button to select inputs, while other remote controls use more

buttons. If your projector remote control has four separate buttons for each input (e.g. PC1,

PC2, Video, S-Video), then you should install the “PC1/2 / VID1/2” button set in the middle of

the front panel. Re-attach the front panel to the rear chassis.

3. SELECT DUAL OR SINGLE COMMAND FOR MIDDLE BUTTONS The “Single/Dual

Command” switch on the rear selects whether you want the middle buttons to learn one code

each, or two discreet codes each. If your projector remote control has four separate buttons for

each input, then you should set this to “Dual”. For all other circumstances you only need the

middle buttons to learn one code each, so it should be set to “Single”.

4. LEARN CODES FROM ORGINAL REMOTE CONTROL To program each button follow these

simple steps. In this example we will program the power button. Before you start ensure that the

batteries are installed by pressing any one of the buttons on the front panel – you will hear a

a) Press the “Learn” button on the rear. The red LED will light up and stay lit.

b) Press the button on the front panel you want to assign the code to - in this example the

c) Point the original remote control at the “IR Input” receiver on the back of the module.

Press and hold the power button on the remote control until the green conrmation LED

lights briey on the rear of the module. It will normally take 1-2 seconds.4

1. Original Remote Control

2. IR Input receiver

The Techconnect Control has now assigned that code to the button and is no longer in learn

mode. Repeat all steps including step (a) to program the other buttons. Note: If you are

programming one of the middle buttons in dual command mode it will remain in learn mode

after you have taught it the first code. You should now press the second command on the

original remote control. The second code will be assigned to the same middle button and the

module will revert out of learn mode.

Keep the remote control 90 degrees to the receiver as shown above. The optimum learning

distance is 30-50mm.

5. INSTALL CONTROL MODULE INTO TECHCONNECT FACEPLATE After you’ve

taught the Control Module the IR codes,

install the module into the Techconnect

faceplate, plug in the IR Blaster cable

(included) and route it to the projector.

6. ATTACH THE IR BLASTER TO THE PROJECTOR A powerful IR emitter is included with the

Techconnect Control, attached to a 10m cable. This cable can be shortened or lengthened

easily at the Phoenix connector end which plugs into the Control Module. The IR emitter should

be positioned over or near the IR receiver on the projector as shown below. Option (1) is most

effective as the IR signal can be weakened by direct sunlight or uorescent lights.6
