Introduction
The
PL-5
is a stylish and compact battery powered hand
held remote controller for use with the Allen & Heath
PL-4
and
PL-11
wall
plates which are 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, preset select or
MIDI messages 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
or
PL-11
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.

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
