Preparations
Setting up the system
Loading the batteries
• Insert four AA-size (R6) batteries as indicated by the polarity markings.
3
Close the cover.
2
Insert the batteries.
1
Remove the cover.
When the
STANDBY
indicator is lit, the power turns ON when you press
the
SYS. POWER
key on the remote control. When the power comes
ON, press the key you want to operate.
Operating receiver range (RF Transmitter)
RF remote control function
The remote control has the RF remote function in addition to the IR remote
function. The VR-510 can receive the remote control commands even
when they are installed in a position where the IR remote signal can hardly
access, for example inside a cabinet. The receiver is not equipped with the
RF remote bi-directional communication function. The bi-directional com-
munication is available only using the IR remote function.
1
Open the battery cover on the rear.
After changing the RF frequency of remote control, be also sure to
change that of the receiver.
2
Change the RF switch setting.

3
Change the receiver’s RF reception frequency.
• Press and hold the
SET UP
key on the front panel of the receiver for
more than 2 seconds.
Each time you press the
SET UP
key, the RF reception frequency
changes as follows:
1
“RF BAND 1”
2
“RF BAND 2”
3
“RF OFF”
• Select the same number as the position number of the RF switch of
the remote control.
The RF remote function may be unavailable due to radio wave cross talk,
etc. In this case, the transmission frequency can be changed.
To change the RF remote transmission frequency:

Important notes
Here is list of adjustment which can maximize the operation of
your remote control. For optimal operation of the remote control:
Notes
1. The supplied batteries may have shorter lives than ordinary batteries due
to use during operation checks.
2. When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before, replace
all batteries with a new ones.
3. Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from a high
frequency flourescent lamp may cause a malfunction.
In such a case, change the location of the system installation to prevent
malfunction.
• The remote control signal received by the main unit are IR and RF
signals.
• When pressing more than one remote control key successively, press
the keys securely by leaving an interval of 1 second or more between
keys.
1
Aim the remote control toward the room where the receiver is
located.
2
Do not position the receiver and remote control near metal (such as
heat ducts). Metal can absorb RF signals.
3
Make sure the batteries in the remote control are fully charged. Weak
batteries will affect the range of the remote control.
4
When there is an obstruction around other equipments that send
signal from the remote control, the control distance of the RF remote
signal will be short.
Note
• The tests for range limits of the remote control and the receiver are
conducted in open-air distance test. Actual distance of the signal
will be based on the construction of the building the unit is being
used in as well as other factors such as outside interference.
