BATTERY LIFE This product uses a 3V Lithium CR2450 baery for long life. The baery is housed in

a sealed compartment and should remain dry. If the product is installed in a humid

climate you should check the baery every six months to make sure it is not damp or

mains power. Alternately this device can share a power supply with the Techconnect

LIMITATIONS OF PRODUCT This product has been tested with a wide range of data projectors, at panel screens,

ampliers, and projecon screens. IR standards vary so we cannot guarantee this

control module will control all available products on the market. We highly recommend

tesng this product with all equipment to be controlled before using this product for

large projects. If you do have problems please let us know so that we can improve this

comes assembled with a common buon conguraon. You may need to

change buons to suit the equipment you are controlling. For example, if the projector has a single

power buon on the remote control, you will use a 1-buon panel and load the power buon into it.

To change buons follow these steps:

1. Undo the locking screw on the side of the module. Hold the assembly WITH BUTTONS FACING DOWN and remove the front panel from the rear chassis.

2. Slide the buon panels out sideways. Swap the buons and panels as necessary, then reassemble.

FUNCTION BUTTON CAPABILITIES Each row of buon has dierent learning capabilies:

POWER BUTTONS Can learn up to 3 codes

and amplier, and lower

a motorized screen with

one press of a buon.

INPUT BUTTONS Can learn up to 4 codes.

The “Single Command” switch on

rear means each code is broadcast

“Dual Command” means codes 1

and 3 are sent at the same me,

and with the next press codes 2 and

4 are sent. This is useful when you

need to toggle between PC1 and

PC2 AND switch an amplier at the

same me with one buon press.

1. POWER FUNCTION BUTTON PROGRAMMING The POWER BUTTONS ( 1 / 2 / 3 ) can learn up to three codes each and send them simultaneously.

Use this when you want to turn up to three devices on or o at once. The posion of the Single/

Dual Command switch has no aect on these buons.

a) Press and release LEARN buon. The RED LED on the REAR panel will light and stay on indicang

that the device is in “Learn Mode”. Note: If there is no acvity for 30 seconds, the device will go

back to “Normal Mode”.

(1) Red LED – indicates learn mode

(2) Green LED – ashes to indicate

(3) LEARN Buon – used to enter

b) Press and hold FUNCTION buon on the front panel you want to program. The LED on the

FRONT panel will cycle through three colours: RED > ORANGE > GREEN. Each colour represents

one of the three codes that buon can learn.

NOTE: PROJECTOR OFF CODE SHOULD BE PROGRAMMED TO GREEN. The GREEN code for

buons 2 and 3 will always be broadcast twice automacally. This is for projectors which

require a second conrmaon code to be sent to turn o.

c) Release the buon when the desired colour is showing on the front LED. Aim the original remote

control at the IR RECEIVER on the rear of the module and press and hold the funcon buon on the

remote control. Release only aer the GREEN LED on the REAR has ashed three mes.

will automacally switch from “Learn Mode” back to “Normal Mode”.

Note: Hold the original remote control 30-50mm away from the rear of the module, and at 90° to the IR Receiver. Programming under uorescent lights which can interfere with the ability to learn IR codes.

If the red LED ashes mulple mes and does not turn o the device has not learnt the code

and it will stay in “Learn Mode”. Try again.

Repeat steps a-c to program the other colours for each buon.

52. INPUT FUNCTION BUTTON PROGRAMMING The INPUT BUTTONS ( 4 / 5 / 6 ) can learn four codes each and send them one aer the other, or

Before you start programming you should select “Single Command” or “Dual Command” using the

a) SINGLE COMMAND Empty memory posions will be skipped. It will cycle sequenally through the codes you have

Example 1: If it has been taught four codes Example 2: If it has been taught two codes

Press 3: Input 1… etc

b) DUAL COMMAND The rst two codes are for the display device, and the second two codes are for the amplier.

This is because the Control

broadcasts codes in the following order:

Press 1: Broadcasts code 1 rst, then code 3 a second later.

Press 2: Broadcasts code 2 rst, then code 4 a second later…. etc

To program these buons follow the same steps as for the POWER BUTTONS. The LED on the front

panel will cycle through RED > ORANGE > GREEN > ORANGE >, each represenng the four codes

each buon can learn.

3. VOLUME FUNCTION BUTTON PROGRAMMING The VOLUME BUTTONS ( 7 / 8 / 9 ) can only learn one code each. They are preset to send out the

code repeatedly if the buon is held down. The posion of the Single/Dual Command switch has no

aect on these buons.

The process for programming these buons is dierent to the other buons:

a) Press and release LEARN buon. The RED LED on the REAR panel will light and stay on indicang

that the device is in “Learn Mode”.

b) Press and release FUNCTION buon you want to assign the code to on the front panel. The RED LED on the REAR panel will ash once then it will stay on.

c) Aim the original remote control at the IR RECEIVER on the rear of the module and press and

hold the funcon buon on the remote control. Release only aer the GREEN LED on the REAR

has ashed three mes. The device will automacally switch to “Normal Mode”.

If the red light ashes it means the code has not been learnt successfully. Repeat steps b and c again.

4. DELETING CODES If you want delete a code that you’ve programmed to a buon follow these steps:

a) Press and release learn buon (rear red light comes on and stays on)

b) Press and hold the appropriate FUNCTION buon on front panel unl the front LED is the colour

represenng the code you wish to delete then release.

c) Press and hold buons 7 and 9 unl the front LED turns o.

The code has been deleted and the Control

reverts back to “normal mode”.

(master) can copied to other Control

1. Use a cable to connect the COPY terminals of the MASTER and SLAVE together as shown:

2. Press and hold LEARN buon on the master unl ONLY the GREEN LED on the REAR lights.

3. Press and hold LEARN buon on the slave unl the RED AND GREEN LEDs on the REAR both light.

4. Press any FUNCTION buon on the front panel of the “master”. The RED LED on the front panels of the

master AND slave modules will both ash and the codes will copy. This will normally take 10 seconds. When

nished the green LEDs of the master and slave units will ash three mes simultaneously, then turn o.

The devices will automacally switch to “Normal Mode”. If unsuccessful the red LEDs of the master and

slave modules will ash at the same me, then turn o. Try again.

2. Route the included IR Blaster cable to the projector. This cable can be shortened or lengthened

easily at the Phoenix connector end. The IR emier should be posioned over or near the IR

receiver on the projector as shown below. Opon (1) is most eecve as the IR signal can be

weakened by direct sunlight or uorescent lights.
