8 VMB8IR IR receiver module user manual – version 1
USE
Use the Logitech configuration software to configure the universal remote control from the Harmony series and to
label the pushbuttons.
The receiver module is integrated into the Velbus system.
Eight channels can be programmed with actions allowing the switching on and off of relay channels, the dimming
of lighting, the opening and closing of blinds, etc.
Furthermore, up to 32 pushbuttons from your Velbus installation can be simulated.
Configuration of those is done through the Velbuslink software.
Address:
Each module in the Velbus connection must have a unique address.
Configure the address through the software.
The local pushbutton may be used for the module identification.
Channel name:
The first 8 channels can be labelled (max. 16 characters) through the Velbuslink software. Labelling a pushbutton
may help you to configure the actions (relay, dimmer and blind control, etc.).
Reaction time:
The reaction time allows how long a pushbutton must be depressed before the action is executed. The reaction
time can be programmed at 1, 2 or 3 seconds.
Hint: Program a reaction time of 3 seconds for an “All off” channel.
Number of channels:
Every single channel can be activated or deactivated in order to program the number of used channels.
Hint: The deactivation of the first 8 channels implies that the indication LEDs will only be used to indicate the
status of the relays, dimmers, blinds, etc.
Actions:
Eight channels can be programmed with actions allowing the switching on and off of relay channels, the dimming
of lighting, the opening and closing of blinds, etc.
Hint: The deactivation of the first 8 channels implies that the indication LEDs will only be used to indicate the
status of the relays, dimmers, blinds, etc. However, the channels must be pre-programmed with an action.
Pushbutton simulations:
The remaining 32 channels can be used to simulate the pushbuttons in your Velbus installation. Choose the
corresponding pushbutton for every single of those channels. All actions attributed to those pushbuttons will be
executed when one of the channels on the transmitter is activated.
