Deleting the IR memory
After the installation and before program-
ming of the IR keys, it is useful to delete the
IR memory beforehand by proceeding as fol-
lows:
1. Withdraw the device from the bus coup-
ler.
2. Turn the adjusting potentiometer at the
rear of the device with a small screwdri-
ver into the 'Reset' position.
3. Plug the device back onto the bus coup-
ler. The IR memory is now deleted and
the IR window now flashes orange.
4. Withdraw the device a second time from
the bus coupler. Turn the potentiometer
back to 'On' and plug the Instabus / IR
converter back onto the bus coupler.
Programming of new IR channels is now
possible.
Selecting the place of installation
The place of installation should be chosen
so as to achieve optimal communication in
operation.
For perfect operation, the Instabus / IR con-
verter needs sight contact with the IR app-
pliances to be controlled (e.g audio equip-
ment) and the IR remote control
transmitting to the Instabus / IR converter.
The place of installation must therefore be
chosen so that
• in operation, the IR remote control can be
easily pointed to the Instabus / IR conver-
ter;
• there are no objects, pieces of furniture,
curtains, etc. impairing the sight contact
between the Instabus / IR converter and
the equipment to be controlled.
The lateral range is optimal within an angle
of 60° (from the median line). Greater ranges
and wider angles can be covered when
transmitter and receiver are arranged in a
straight line. The same applies, when the IR
rays are reflected from walls or furniture in
the room.
The device can be installed at hand range or
also at a height of 2.20 m.
The range is reduced
• outside the boundaries shown,
• when the batteries are weak or dischar-
ged.
