Infrared Remote Control Operation

_____ The IR-10 Remote control will also allow use of the Manual

Remote 25-pin D-Sub port, whereas the IR-30 Remote will
not.

Verify that batteries are installed in the IR-30 Remote
Transmitter. Note that the buttons on the IR remote are in two
groups.

The four buttons across the top have the same names and

functions as the four colored buttons on the System 8/10
P

LUS

front panel.

The second group includes numbered buttons, as well as

“Enter” and “Function” buttons. The numbered buttons
are used to enter values, such as channel numbers. The
“Enter” button is used to “send” the number to the
switcher. The “Function” button is reserved for future use.

______ Whenever the System 8/10 P

LUS

is receiving an IR signal

from the remote transmitter, the Main Power LED on the front
panel blinks. The LED on the Main Controller board, next to
the Infrared IC chip (U21), also blinks.

Check the IR-30 Remote operation as follows:

a. Point the transmitter (remote control) in the direction of the left front of the

System 8/10 P

LUS

and press each of the four top buttons, one at a time. For each

button pressed on the transmitter, the corresponding switch on the front panel
should light.

b. To select an input channel, press the button(s) for the channel number followed

by pressing

. For example, to select input #3, press 3,

. To select

input #10, press 1, 0,

.

_____ If the System 8/10 P

LUS

is looped, any available input channel is selected the

same way. For example, if a System 10 has another switcher as a Slave input,
selecting input channel #14 (1, 4,

) will cause the System 10 P

LUS

Master

to switch to the highest input (#10) and the Slave switcher will select its input #5.
