Kramer products are arranged in groups. Each group is controlled by a
different protocol

. To use the IR-1 and/or IR-1-01 you need to manually
allocate each unit you want to control to its group. Allocating the units in this
way enables the IR-1 and/or IR-1-01 to communicate with each unit in the
system. For a list of the products arranged according to their group, see Table
2 (which also indicates the maximum number of units that you can control in
a system using your IR-1 and/or IR-1-01).
There are 16 different groups, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, and 20 (there are no groups numbered 8, 11, 13, or 19). Groups
numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15 and 16 include units with only a single output. In
some cases, you will need to allocate different versions of the same unit to
different groups. For example, the VS-4x4YC vertical interval matrix
switcher appears in Groups 5 and 12. Group 5 works with the old protocol (at
the time that the VS-4x4YC was initially manufactured) and Group 12 works
with the new protocol

1. Point the remote control transmitter at the remote receiver and press the
SHIFT key. The TRANS LED lights.
2. Press the GROUP key. The TRANS LED lights.
3. Press the digit corresponding to the number of the Group
3
. The TRANS
LED lights.
This sets and saves the Group #.
6.2 Setting the Unit #
To select the Unit # on a unit, do the following:
1. Point the remote control transmitter at the remote receiver and press the
UNIT key. The TRANS LED lights.
2. Press the digit corresponding to the number of the Group
4
. The TRANS
LED lights.
This sets and saves the UNIT #.
1 Each Kramer unit has an internal (serial) communication protocol
2 Kramer Protocol-2000 (version 3.1 or higher)
3 According to the specifications in Table 2
4 According to the machine number set up on the unit (for example, via the DIP switches)
