Recording IR codes
To be able to control a TV, for example, or a VCR, Stereo, DVD, toys, lamps etc., these
devices must have a remote control unit that emits infrared light (IR). Most TVs have a
remote control unit that is used to control various functions. It is this remote control unit
that is to be used to teach IR codes. Other devices such as lamps, telephones, hall
telephones and door openers do not have any remote control unit. Gewa have solutions
that makes it possible to control also these devices. The GewaLink codes 00-127 are
default and can be used to control Gewa’s own products. Please contact Gewa or
Gewa’s representatives for more information.
One memory location is used for each IR code that is recorded. There are 256 memory
locations available.
