Programming IR Codes
Before using your Infrared (IR) remote control and the IR12T-DC to control your TV Art Cover, the
interface must be taught the IR signals you wish to use to raise and lower the artwork. First, choose
any two buttons on your remote control that you would like to use for “DOWN” and “UP”. Please
note that the same button cannot be used for both; you must use two separate buttons. See the
programming tip below for some strategies on choosing. You are now ready to teach these two
commands to the IR12T-DC.
STEP 1 - Initiate Proramming Mode
STEP 2 - Learn the Down Command
Press and release the red programming button. The orange
LED will light.
Aim your remote control at the IR target, press and hold the
DOWN button until the
LED turns off. The blue
LED will flicker while the button is pressed to verify the
IR12T-DC is receiving the signal. When you release the DOWN
button,
will light again. Press and hold the DOWN
button once more until
flickers and turns off.

will stay
off and the IR12T-DC is now ready for use.
The interface is much more sensitive when in
programming mode than in regular use. If the
LED starts
flashing and then turns off during programming, it means the IR12T-
DC could not recognize a valid IR code. This is almost always caused
by interference from sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or other sources
hitting the IR target. Care should be taken to shield the target from
any possible interference. Also any IR Emitters should be unplugged
from the unit during programming, as they may add additional
capacitance to the circuit or cause IR feedback.

Programming Tip - What Buttons Should I Use?
In the ideal scenario, your TV remote has discrete power buttons for on and off. Then you simply
choose the
button for UP and
for DOWN, and the artwork automatically
raises and lowers as the TV is turned on and off. But most TV remotes only have a single
button which toggles the power on and off.
If this is the case, use the
button for DOWN and some other button,
for
instance, for UP. This way, you would press Power to turn on the TV and the artwork would stay
down, so you would press
to raise it. In most cases, the TV would not even respond to
the
command for the first few seconds while it is powering up. Now you can use any
of the buttons on your remote while watching TV with no effect on the artwork. Then it’s just one
press of the
button to turn the TV off and lower the artwork at the same time.
