Using Discrete IR
Codes The DHD Controller accepts commands in the form of IR signals that conform to the NEC
protocol. Each DHD Controller remote control button has an NEC control code associated
with it.
You can use these codes to program a third-party, “universal” remote control unit to work
with the DHD Controller. These third-party products usually come with a computer
software application for this purpose. For more information, consult the documentation
provided with the remote control unit.
IR Command Protocol The IR control codes have the following characteristics:
• Each code consists of the following:
• A leader pul s e (a modulated pulse of 9 ms followed by a non-modulated pulse of
4.5 ms);
• 16 addre ss bit s . The default address is 82 09 (0x2011, binary
00100000 00010001). To change it, select Remote Code from the Miscellaneous
menu (in the Service menu) and follow the steps given on page 75;
• 16 data bit s : eight (8) bits for the command followed by the logical inverse of the
command; and
• An end pul s e (a modulated pulse of 0.56 ms, similar to the modulated pulse in the
‘0’ and ‘1’ bits).The end of the modulated pulse constitutes the end of the data
transmission.
• The carrier frequency is 38 kHz, with the modulated pulses having a 33% duty cycle.
• Commands are sent at a maximum rate of 9 Hz.
For example, here is the NEC control code for the ON button on the DHD Controller
remote control unit (assuming the default address is used):
Figure 6-1 shows the pulse train for this command.
