Programming Delays

Some IR controlled units may require an increased time interval between certain commands, particularly
between a Power ON command and a Play command, for instance, to operate correctly.

• When programming sequences, you can place delays between such commands so that sufficient time

is given for all  functions to execute.

• The SmartPad

3

 allows the insertion of timed delays at any point within a sequence.  Proceed as follows:

1. Press the 

SEQ

 button to enter commands as described under Sequence Programming .

2. Just before you enter a command that requires a delay, press the

 DELAY

 button to enter the DELAY

mode.  The DELAY LED will flash.

3. Now press the 

DELAY

 button, successively, to enter the number of seconds of delay you want. (Each

press of the DELAY button, 

after

 the initial press, adds 1 second, up to a maximum of 30 seconds).

NOTE:

 The SmartPad

3

 system already includes a 1/3 second interval between each command placed

in a sequence.  Each second you add will be in addition to the 1/3 second that already exits.

4. Press 

CNCL

 

once

 to exit from DELAY mode and return to Sequence mode.

5. Next, enter the command that requires the delay.  Continue programming the remaining commands

you desire in the sequence. Just before entering another command requiring a delay, repeat steps 2,
3 and 4 above.

6. When finished with the sequence, press 

CNCL 

twice

. The delay times entered are now stored as part

of the sequence.

Sending IR Commands

Once you have “taught” the desired IR commands and/or sequences to the keypad, and have pressed

CNCL

 to leave the programming modes, you may send them to the controlled equipment simply by pressing

the key that relates to them.  It is recommended that you test each set of commands you have placed in a
bank before proceeding to the next bank.

Deleting Commands

If you want to delete a command or sequence from any button, simply do the following:

1. Press the 

DEL

 (delete) button.  The DEL LED will flash.

2. Press the target button that has the command(s) you wish to delete.  The DEL LED will come on steady.

3. When erasure is complete, the DEL LED will resume flashing. If you wish to delete from other buttons,

you can do so now by repeating the procedure from step 2.

NOTE:

  One press of the target key will delete all commands in a sequence 

and

 on the 2nd tier (if used).

If you want to delete or change individual commands in a sequence, you must do so in the Sequence
Editing mode.

4. When done, press 

CNCL

 to exit delete mode.  The DEL LED will go out.

Sequence Editing

Long sequences (probably with some delays interspersed between commands) will likely have to be edited
and experimented with to achieve correct timing control of the associated equipment.

• Editing is done in the 

EDIT

 mode using the 

STEP

DEL

ete, 

PGM

 and 

DELAY

 buttons.

• It is best to think of the command sequence as a set of items laid end to end. When you activate the

EDIT mode, it sets the edit pointer to the front of this string of items.

• You use the STEP key to individually transmit and step through each command in the sequence.  This

lets you see which commands are where, if all are working correctly, etc.

• If you activate a command that does not work or is incorrect, you can press the 

DEL

 key to remove

it and then the 

PGM

 key to store a new command in its place.
