Remora Remote Control operating instructions
Rev A
Good news from Manley Labs! We present to you a remote controlled volume control for the Manley
Shrimp, Steelhead, and Neo-Classic 300B Preamplifier models. The Manley Remora Remote is a two
button radio frequency transmitter that will communicate to the Manley Preamplifier and command the
motorized volume control to move up or down.
Quick Start:
Your Remora Remote Control system has been configured and tested at the factory to verify that the
communication link between the radio frequency transmitter and the mating receiver-decoder inside the Shrimp,
Steelhead, or Neo-Classic 300B Preamplifier has been properly established.
Before beginning, ensure that a fresh 9V alkaline battery has been installed in the Remora Remote transmitter.
Yes, we installed a new 9V battery in the Remora Remote when it left the factory.
Turn on the Manley Shrimp, Steelhead, or Neo-Classic 300B Preamplifier and after a few seconds, push and
hold either the up or down command buttons. The command is sent via radio signal to the preamplifier and the
motorized volume control will react by moving as directed by the remote switch activation, with motor action
occurring as long as a button is engaged. The Remora Remote transmitter’s multi-colored LED lamp will glow
bright GREEN when a command is being sent.
Notice that the volume control motion will stop when the control reaches the travel end-stops, just as it does
when the knob is turned by hand. Also notice that the remote will stop transmitting if either the up or down
buttons are pressed for more than 30 seconds.
The multi-colored LED lamp on the face of the remote will tell you when the 9V battery needs to be replaced.
The battery is GOOD when the lamp is bright GREEN while the transmitter is active. As the battery voltage
wanes, the green light may flash RED briefly when the transmitter is switched on; that’s when the load on the
battery is heaviest. When the battery is nearing exhaustion, the time interval of the RED flash will expand, and
eventually and the battery nears life end, the lamp may stay RED more or less continuously. When the LED
lamp stays RED, then the moment has arrived for mandatory replacement of the battery.
You may replace the battery at your leisure, since all the Remora Remote transmitter’s settings are held safely
and indefinitely, in the microprocessor’s non-volatile flash memory.

included with your new Remora Remote
system. Some are pretty obvious; others are
riding just below the surface.
