Installing the IntelliControl® Home Theater Automation System.

Step-by-Step Installation of a New System

1. Connect, Power Up, and Test The Home Theater

Make sure that all components work with their factory supplied IR remotes and that all planned input/output connections are correct. It is suggested that you replace the batteries if any remote shows reduced range or intermittent operation. Additionally, best results will be achieved if you are using fresh, high quality alkaline batteries when teaching codes to the IntelliFile II.

2. Check MSU Location for Freedom from Interference

Unpack the Main System Unit and place it in a convenient location. You may set the MSU upright on a shelf, mount it to a wall, to the back of a cabinet, or install it into a 19” rack using the optional rack mounting kit (FG00730).

Try to avoid placing the MSU near any known sources of RF interference. Sources of trouble may include DSS Satellite Receivers, DVD players, and/or Digital to Analog Converters - The high speed microprocessors in these devices produce RF interference in a sphere of a few feet surrounding the unit. Try to locate the MSU as far away as possible.

3.Connect and Power Up the MSU, Your PC, and the IntelliFile II

a.Connect the IntelliFile II utilizing the supplied DB 9 Female to DB 9 Male connector cable. An adapter is supplied for those computers with serial ports configured with a 25 pin male connector (DB 25).

b.Connect the IntelliControl to the IntelliFile II’s PC Interface using the supplied 3- conductor transfer cable.

c.Power up the IntelliFile II PC Interface and the IntelliControl MSU using their supplied 12V DC wall adapters. Follow the instructions provided with the IntelliFile II to enable you to connect and configure the PC Interface to your computer.

d.Choose the labels from the label sheet and place them on the appropriate keys. Video sources should be assigned to the Master Keys on the left, audio sources on the right side of the remote. Snap the label protectors (enclosed with the unit) onto the keys,
