CONTROL OPTIONS IR Techconnect Control learns and replicates codes sent from a device’s infrared remote control. An IR emitter integrated into the front panel is adequate for small rooms. For larger rooms three external wired IR emitters are included – one with a 10m cable, and two without cables. Techconnect Minijack cables are suitable to extend these. NOTE: There is no theoretical cable length limit on IR cables. NOTE: Remote controls which come with projection screens are often RF – not IR.
INSTALLATION 1. FIT LABELS Use flat-head screwdriver to unclip clear button covers, then apply labels as shown: 2. SELECT POWER SOURCE The control module is set to be powered by mains power by default. If you choose to power with 2 x AAA batteries (not included) move switch inside the battery compartment to BATT. NOTE 1: If powered by batteries buttons will only light when pressed. NOTE 2: If powered by mains ensure batteries are not left in device. 3.
SIMPLE MODE PROGRAMMING Appropriate for controlling one IR device only, e.g. projector. 1. PUT DEVICE INTO LEARN MODE Press and hold buttons 3 and 4 (middle buttons). The learn LED on the front panel will turn red and stay on. 2. PRESS BUTTON TO ASSIGN CODE TO Press function button on the front panel which the incoming code will be assigned to. One code can be assigned to each button. 3. TEACH CODE Point remote control at the front panel of Control module.
ADVANCED MODE PROGRAMMING NOTE: Device must use mains-power for these advanced functions.

SCHEDULE LAST If using the scheduling function, do this once all of the codes have been learnt. IMPORTANT: The software contains a pre-set library of RS-232 codes. When you add new codes and sync and software, those new codes become available to all users when they sync and can be edited.
Module learns code but doesn’t control the projector • • • • Re-program the buttons.
