Operation

Verify Serial Port – Connect to terminal program, like “HyperTerminal” or “Portmon” and monitor activity on serial port. Each time 

another ILLUMRA device transmits, a few copies of the data packet should flow through to the serial port.

The data received from the modules contains non-printable characters.  In order to see the exact contents of the received packets, set 

up a text capture with Transfer->Capture Text.  An alternative to the text capture method is to run a serial port monitoring program 

(use Google to search for “portmon” which is available as a free download from microsoft.com, and can display the hexadecimal values 

during serial operation).

Save the file in a convenient location.

Serial Data Structure

H_SEQ

Meaning

Mode

0b 000

Unknown transmitter ID received 

(serial telegram only if no ID has been learned so far!)

For RPS also:

-- Known transmitter ID and unknown rocker

-- U-message from known transmitter ID received

For HRC also:

-- Known transmitter ID and unknown rocker

-- Scene switch command (last three bits of ID 0b111) from known 

transmitter ID (only first 29 bits are compared!)

Operating 

Mode

0b 001

For 1BS and 4BS: Known transmitter ID received

For RPS: Known transmitter ID and at least 1 known rocker (1 or 2 rockers 

operated)                                    

For HRC: Known transmitter ID and known rocker

Operating 

Mode

0b 010

New transmitter learned (If a switch telegram is received (RPS or HRC), 

the rocker code (RID) is stored together with the ID.) 

 • Mode 3: a telegram with this header information will be sent also when 

in LRN mode a transmitter which is already learned is operated again

Learn Mode

0b 110

Mode 0: Transmitter just deleted (If a switch telegram is received (RPS 

or HRC), the rocker code (RID) and module ID are checked. The entry is 

only deleted if module ID and rocker are known.)
