IDR-switch User Guide AP5141
Remote controllers
The iDR-switch is designed to be
used with a wide range of remote control devices including
custom wall plates and operator panels. Check out the Allen &
Heath range of PL wall plates and remote controllers. This
range is continually developing and it is likely that some may
be suitable for your application.
At the time of print of this user guide the PL-2 wall plate is
available for use with the iDR-switch. It has 4 switches and 4
3-colour LEDs which can be hard wired to the unit. It can be
fitted into a UK or US standard single wall box. For further
details visit the Allen & Heath web site.
