Introduction
The
PL-5
is a stylish and compact battery powered hand
held remote controller for use with the Allen & Heath
PL-4
wall plate which is
equipped with an IR (infra-red) sensor. It has 14 user programmable buttons.
Typically, these would be programmed by the installer as a combination of
volume up/down, signal mute, source and patch select for convenient control
by the day-to-day operator. The button layout and markings suit most typical
applications. If required, the installer can create a custom label to adhere to
the controller surface. The
PL-5
always sends out the same button codes. The
associated iDR function is independently programmed for each
PL-4
wall plate
using the iDR System Manager software. This means that the same remote
can trigger different functions in different rooms. For example, the remote
could be used for local volume control of different zones in different rooms, or
select different sources in different rooms.
Removing the protective film
Before using the
controller peel off the plastic film that protects the top surface.
Replacing the battery
The PL-5 uses a CR2025 3V
lithium battery. A battery is supplied with the unit. To install or
replace the battery first remove the battery compartment cover.
Use a pointed object to press in the cover clip. Slide the cover
off. Insert the battery with + (plus) side up in the direction
shown to make contact with the spring terminal. Slide the
cover on until it clips in place.
This product complies with the European
Electromagnetic Compatibility directives 89/336/EEC &
92/31/EEC.
NOTE:
Any changes or modifications to the
equipment not approved by Allen & Heath could void
the compliance of the equipment. Whilst we believe
the information in this guide to be reliable we do not
assume responsibility for inaccuracies. We also reserve
the right to make changes in the interest of further
