DESCRIPTION
The Miro Key Fob (MKFOB) is a battery powered, Top Dog™
enabled remote device, which allows the user to recall and
record scenes in a Miro wireless network. The key fob can
be placed on a key-chain or in the included mounting clip
and attached to a car visor or similar surface.
The unit has three operating modes. The operating mode
determines which scenes the MKFOB will execute. It is
equipped with three buttons so it can execute up to three
scenes that are recorded using the key fob itself or a Miro
wireless room or house scene controller.
The open field operating range between the key fob and
other Miro wireless devices is 80 feet, but this will vary
according to the type of construction being used and
whether there are objects between the user and the devices
on which the scenes will execute. Since the key fob uses
radio transmission (as opposed to infrared), line-of-sight is
not required.
A typical key fob application is to control house level scenes
using operating Mode-1. For example:
• Button
1
turns on a pathway of light in the house
• Button
2
turns off all except for selected night-lights
• Button
3
turns off all lights
Another common application is to control house level
scenes including a “panic” scene using Mode-2. For
example:
• Button
1
turns on a pathway of lights in the house
• Button
2
turns off all lights in the house
• Button
3
evokes the panic feature (lights on dimmers
flash and those on switches come on to full bright)
A less common, but possible application is to control room
level and house level scenes using Mode-3. For example:
• Button
1
recalls the lights in a particular room, such as
the great room
• Button
2
turns off all, or selected lights in the room
• Button
3
turns off all, or selected house lights
These three applications are typical, however the user can
record scenes in any number of ways. For example, Mode-1
could be used to have three different arrival scenes (lights
on) or leaving/night scenes (lights off). Just remember that
each button can only recall one specific scene as described
in the Operating Mode sections on the next page. For
example, house scenes 1, 5, and 11 are the only scenes that
can be recalled in Mode-1.
Top Dog™ Wireless Communication
Watt Stopper wireless devices use radio signals to
communicate with each other to control lighting and other
types of electric loads in selected areas. These wireless
devices use the 900MHz band for high-speed control
communication. Using Watt Stopper “frequency-agile” Top
Dog™ technology, these wireless devices avoid interference
with other 900MHz devices, such as cordless phones and
baby monitors.
APPLICATION ASSISTANCE
The MKFOB functions as part of a network that contains
Top Dog enabled wireless devices that may include Miro
architectural or decorator-style in-wall devices as well as
portable remote controls and other accessories. In order to
properly operate a key fob you must have at least one room
or house scene controller installed. (If you want to operate
the key fob without a scene controller, contact Technical
Support for additional information.) Prior to using the key
fob the other devices should be installed and programmed.
A MKFOB may be added to a Miro or Miro decorator
wireless installation at any time and there is not any limit
to the number that can be used.
Instructions for installation, binding operations, and use
are included with the relevant wireless devices. Application
support information and installation guides for Watt
Stopper/Legrand wireless network devices are available at
