VII. Cloning
Cloning Overview
Any PixiePro may quickly copy all the programmed codes and configuration settings from any other
PixiePro wirelessly, or using a standard CAT5 cable. For multiple-room installations, this will greatly
speed up the process.
When cloning the PixiePro, there is a Donor Unit and a Clone Unit. The Donor Unit must be pro-
grammed with the appropriate codes normally prior to cloning. The Clone Unit will receive the Donor
Unit's codes and configuration settings.
Both PixiePros must be assembled with the same button inserts. For example, if the donor PixiePro
has a toggling power button insert, the clone PixiePro must also have a toggling power button insert.
In order to clone one PixiePro to another, both units must be powered.
Wireless Cloning Procedure
1. Set the Clone Unit to cloning mode. To do that, gently insert a paper clip into the IR Learning
aperture. Press and hold any button on the Clone Unit and, while holding the button, remove the
paper clip.The PixiePro will rapidly chirp for as long as it remains in cloning mode. The PixiePro will
time out of cloning mode in about 15 seconds, so have both devices on hand. If the PixiePro times
out of cloning mode, simply repeat this procedure to return it to cloning mode.
2. Position the two units face-to-face, with both units held upright, approximately one inch apart. The
two units should be directly across from each other with the bezels lined up. This will position the IR
receiver window of the cloning PixiePro directly across from the IR transmitter in the donor PixiePro.
Note: Be sure not to cover or obstruct the IR receiver window or transmitter with your hands.
Once the units are correctly lined up, the donor PixiePro will automatically enter cloning mode.
When the clone PixiePro makes contact with the donor, its LED
will also turn solid red.
3. Hold the Clone Unit steadily in front of the donor for approxi-
mately 80 to 90 seconds. Both units will chirp rapidly to indicate
their progress. If the connection is broken (the Clone Unit ceases
to chirp), reposition the Clone Unit and the PixiePros will pick up
where they left off. If communication is broken for a significant
period of time (about 15 seconds), the Clone Unit will time out
and you will need to begin cloning again.
4. When the Clone Unit has completed copying codes from the
donor, it will beep loudly 3 times and reset. You will see all of the
button LEDs flicker in quick succession. After the PixiePro has
reset it will be fully operational, and it will have learned all of the
codes programmed into the Donor Unit.
The Donor Unit will remain in cloning mode for approximately 15
seconds until it times out. It will then return to normal operation. Position Clone Units
approximately 1”-2” apart
