Changing the configuration of these switches requires taking the unit apart and manually moving the jumpers to
the desired position.
Figure 3
shows the jumpers in their default position. With the jumpers in the default position and switches
configured as shown in
Figure 2,
the input will switch to +12VDC.
Figure 5
shows the jumpers in the optional
position. With the jumpers in the optional position and switches configured as shown in
Figure 4,
the input will
switch to ground.

Input Modes
Inputs can be continuous, such as a toggle switch connected to +12 volts, or they can be momentary, such as a
push-button switch connected to +12 volts. Either type of input can be used on inputs 1 through 12. When the
switch is closed, the IR command or macro programmed for this input will be generated only once. The switch can
be opened or it can remain closed. Nothing will happen when the switch is opened and there is no change in the
normal function of any of the other switches if a switch remains closed.
Inputs 13-16 are factory configured with internal jumpers so that if an input push button switch remains closed,
continuous output will result. As long as the button is pressed, the command will be repeated. This is useful for a
volume up or down or an open or closed command for drapes. Only one of these four inputs (13-16) should be
energized at any instant. The output commands will be unpredictable if more than one button is pressed.
Inputs 13-16 can be reconfigured so that they are identical in operation to inputs 1-12. Four internal jumpers are
provided. See
Figure 6.
Figure 6
shows the jumpers for switches 13-16 in their default position. This position will provide a continuous
output when a switch connected to one of these inputs is closed. Moving these jumpers to the optional position
