Therefore, you could first program the “Play” key on the “VCR” page with the VCR’s “Play” Function Key IR command (which plays the VCR), then you could program the same key to issue a sequence consisting of two steps - the VCR’s “Play” command, followed by the LIGHTS “Dim” command. Note: Each actual step has two parts, “a” and “b”. The overall flow is as follows:

1a. Identify the “MASTER KEY PAGE” on which the “Trigger Key“ that will trigger our sequence is located. In this example we will select the “VCR” Master Key.

1b. Identify the “TRIGGER KEY” (on the currently selected page) that will trigger our sequence. In this example we will select the “Play” Function Key.

2a. Identify what “PAGE” the FIRST command in our sequence is stored on. In this example, the “Page” (where the first command is stored) will be the “VCR” Page. This will be the same “page” as Step 1a, but ONLY if the first command in the sequence will be the same as the sequence trigger.

2b. Identify what “KEY” (on the currently selected page) the FIRST command in our sequence is stored on. In this example, the “Play” button is where the first command in our sequence is stored. This will be the same “key” as Step 1b, but ONLY if the first command in the sequence will be the same as the sequence trigger.

3a. Identify what “PAGE” the SECOND command in our sequence is stored on. In this example, the “Page” (where the second command is stored) will be the “LIGHTS” Page.

3b. Identify what “KEY” the SECOND command in our sequence is stored on. In this example, the “#1 digit” is where our second command is stored. (In this example, the actual code will be a Lutron Grafik Eye scene command that has been stored on the “Lights” Master Key page, to the “#1 digit” Function Key location).

If your sequence consists of more than two steps, simply repeat steps 3a and 3b. The concept of sequence programming is very straight-forward as long as you always think of each step as having two parts, the “Page” and the “Key”.

Note: This is the exact same concept used with the Niles IntelliPad Programmable Keypad, and applies to both manual programming and programming using IntelliFile II for IntelliPad.

Purpose of the Master Key Pages

The ten Master Keys decide which “page” of IR command memory will be accessed. When a Master Key is pressed, the Function Keys (on the right side of the remote) now access that page of IR command memory. For example, when the “VCR” Master Key is pressed, the “Play” key will play the VCR, and when the “DVD” Master Key is pressed, the “Play” key will play the DVD. There are ten labeled Master Keys, each selecting a page of memory with up to 32 individual IR commands on each page. This gives you a total possible 320 addresses for IR commands for manual operation of the components in the system.

Purpose of the Default Page

If you choose not to program a “Function Key IR” command or a “Function Key Sequence” to any specific key on any of the ten Master Key pages, the IntelliControl will automatically
