Introduction – PSEZ & CS Controllers.
In the PS AT controller family previously described in this manual, the ‘i-Key’ supplied with the
controller is pre-programmed with the system operating address, operating frequency and controller
pushbutton/function switch layout for a given control system. Note that PS
AT pushbuttons may be
either of the 3-step type, the proportional (stepless) type, or a combination of both, dependent upon
system requirements.
In the PS EZ and CS controller families, the ‘i-Key’ is only pre-programmed with the controller
pushbutton/function switch layout for a given control system . Note that PS EZ and CS pushbuttons
are of the 3-step variety only.
In addition:
1. When your PS EZ or CS Controller is supplied as part of a complete CATTRON-
THEIMEG
™
control system package (controller, receiver/decoder and appropriate
hardware) , the system operating address and operating frequency is pre-
programmed into the controller at our factory and advised to yourselves . Such
programming has been carried out using the top four large pushbuttons.
2. When your PS EZ or CS Controller is supplied as a stand-alone item to complement
your existing CATTRON-THEIMEG
™
EZ or CS Control System , or has been
returned after repairs, address and operating frequency has not been pre-
programmed into the controller at our factory.
Given the circumstances described in 1 and 2, above, you will be required to verify/program the system
address and operating frequency
before using your PS EZ or CS controller for the first time.
Installing Different PSCS (blue) & EZ (green) ‘i-Keys’.
As an additional safeguard, your PSCS and EZ controller’s internal programming software has
been designed to prevent accidental operation of your remote controlled equipment immediately a
different (wrong control system) ‘i-Key’ is inserted into the controller.
All PS CS and EZ ‘i-Keys’ are electronically coded with an individual serial number. This unique ‘i-
Key’ serial number is automatically registered with the host controller’s programming software when
the target remote control system operating address and frequency are programmed using the controller
keypad.
Consequently, inserting any ‘i-Key’ into your controller except the ‘i-Key’ installed when the operating
address and frequency was last programmed (the original ‘i-Key’ ) will prevent any further remote
control operations. When a different (or defective) ‘i-Key’ is installed, the controller will indicate a
fault condition by emitting four long ‘beeps’ immediately after you apply power to the remote
controller.
