Teaching Nº390S Front Panel Commands

To change between manual and timed/ automatic standby:

1.Press and hold the standby button until the display reads

MANUAL.

2.Release the standby button and then use the previous and next buttons to either advance or reduce the amount of time you want to transpire between the last activity of the Nº390S and its going into standby. You may select any number of minutes between 1-120. You may restore normal, manual operation by pressing previous to go “below” 1 minute, into MANUAL standby operation.

3.Allow the Nº390S to time out (returning the display to its nor- mal operation).

Using Learning Remote Controls

The Nº390S includes both an infrared receiver and an infrared transmitter. With this capability, it can “teach” a learning remote control any commands that might be needed for remote operation.

Specifically, the Nº390S can send all of the necessary IR commands from its display window, enabling you to teach a learning remote any or all of its pre-programmed commands, as well as some optional special commands that are available to solve specific installation-related problems.

The Nº390S has two special modes of operation into which it may be placed in order to facilitate the “teaching” of remote control commands to a learning remote control. The first allows you to easily teach the commands for which there are corresponding front panel buttons. The second allows you to teach “special” commands to the remote control for which there are no corresponding front panel buttons.

1.Press and hold the repeat button to enter the front panel teaching mode.

The display will show TEACH IR to indicate that the Nº390S is ready to teach a learning remote control the infrared commands that correspond to its front panel buttons. The Nº390S sends infrared signals from the left side of the front panel display. If the learning remote control seems unable to learn IR commands, try adjusting the distance between the left side of the front panel display and the learning remote control.
