Learn IR, Programming Instructions

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

The following instructions cover the basic Source programming procedure. Each Source ON and OFF Macro can include up to five IR Commands. Please refer to the ISM4 Installation & Programming Manual for complete programming instructions.

To properly Program and Test IR Commands, each of the Source IR Emitters must be connected to the appropriate ISM4 Source IR Out Port, and attached to the appropriate device over the IR Eye.

If Source 1 is going to be turned ON/OFF manually or with a remote control, and there are no additional commands in the ON or OFF Macros, it is not necessary to program the Source 1 ON or OFF Macros. The ISM4 will sense the ON or OFF condition of Source 1 and automatically sync Sources 2-4.

Learn IR

1.Enter Edit Mode: Press and hold the SEQUENCE button until Source 1 LED blinks once and release. The ISM4 will default to the SOURCE 1 (ON Macro). SOURCE 1 and PROGRAM LED’s will turn ON solid green.

Note: Read Steps 2 and 3 before entering macro commands.

2.Teach Command (SOURCE 1 (ON Macro)): Press and release the SEQUENCE button again to enter IR Learn Mode for SOURCE 1 (ON Macro). The Source 1 LED will flash for about 5 seconds. This is the amount of time allowed to teach an IR Command.

3.Position the remote control for the System Reference Device (Source 1) directly in front of the IR Learn window on the ISM4 (1- 4 inches depending on the remote) and press and hold the ON or Power button on the remote control until the PROGRAM LED flashes green three times. If the PROGRAM LED flashes red three times (the IR command was not learned), return to Step 2.

4.Test Command: Press the TEST button and confirm the function of the learned command on the SOURCE 1 device.

5.Save Command: If the SOURCE 1 device responded properly to the learned command press and release the SEQUENCE button again to save the command. The PROGRAM LED will flash once. The ISM4 will automatically return to Edit Mode upon save. To return to Edit Mode without saving, press the PREV Button.

6.Repeat Steps 3-5as necessary until the command is learned, tested, confirmed and saved.

Note 1: If a delay is required proceed to Step 9.

7.If there is no delay required for IR Macro Command 1, and there is at least one more IR Command in the Macro, press and release the NEXT button. SOURCE 1 LED will flash twice indicating the ISM4 is ready to learn the IR Command for IR Macro Command 2. Repeat Steps 2-5to add the IR Command.

Note 2: To add IR commands 3-5 repeat the sequence (Step 7). The selected source LED will blink the number of times for the IR command that it is presently on.

8.Teach Command (SOURCE 1 (OFF Macro)): To enter SOURCE 1 (OFF Macro) press and hold the NEXT button until the SOURCE 1 LED blinks once and release. SOURCE 1 LED will turn ON solid green and PROGRAM LED will turn ON solid orange. Repeat Steps 2–7.
