Using the RC-8IR Universal Room Controller

6.3Using the Macro Buttons

Pressing any button initiates a macro sequence1, during which the button blinks (as programmed by the system integrator).

If during the macro sequence the button blinks faster than usual2, this indicates that a malfunction has been detected3 and the RC-8IRexits the macro sequence.

To solve the problem, summon technical help4

If you want to stop a macro sequence, press and hold that button for 5 seconds. The sequence will come to an end. You can resume operation by pressing any of the buttons5. The unit will carry out the macro sequence commands from the beginning.

6.4Locking the Front Panel

The front panel can be locked to avoid unintended tampering with the buttons.

To lock the panel, press and hold buttons 4 and 8 simultaneously for about 2 seconds.

All the buttons blink momentarily and the panel is locked. When pressing a button at this stage, all the buttons blink twice.

To unlock the panel buttons, press the respective buttons once again. All the buttons blink momentarily and unlock. You can now use the buttons as usual.

6.5Turning the Light of the Backlit Buttons On and Off

When the room is darkened, the buttons can be illuminated for convenience. To turn on the backlight, press buttons 3 and 7 simultaneously.

To turn off the backlight, press the respective buttons once again.

6.6Using the Internal Web Page

The internal Web page can be used to remotely operate the RC-8IRvia the Ethernet.

To control your RC-8IRvia the internal Web page, do the following:

1The macro sequence can be carried out instantly or can take a while, depending on the delay times included in the sequence

2Six times per second, as compared with twice per second during normal operation

3For example, a faulty DVD player
