Remote Control of the Nº36
The Nº36 includes both an infrared receiver and an infrared transmitter. With this
capability, it can “teach” a learning remote control any commands that might be
needed for remote operation. These include input selection, mode, polarity, etc.
Specifically, the Nº36 can send all of the necessary IR commands from its
display
window, enabling you to teach a learning remote any or all of its pre-pro-
grammed commands, as well as some optional special commands that are avail-
able to solve specific installation-related problems.
The Nº36 has two special modes of operation into which is may be placed in
order to facilitate the “teaching” of remote control commands to a learning re-
mote control. The first allows you to easily teach the commands for which there
are corresponding front panel buttons. The second allows you to teach “special”
commands to the remote control for which there are no corresponding front
panel buttons.
Teaching Nº36 Front
Panel Commands
1
PRESS THE “TEACH IR” BUTTON TO ENTER THE TEACHING MODE
The LED above the
teach ir
button will illuminate and the display will read
< IR MODE
to indicate that the Nº36 is ready to teach a learning remote
control the infrared commands that correspond to the its front panel but-
tons. (Pressing the
teach ir
button a second time will return the Nº36 to
normal operation if you change your mind.)
2
PRESS ANY FRONT PANEL BUTTON TO CAUSE THE Nº36 TO SEND THE
CORRESPONDING IR COMMAND
Line up the IR window of your remote control with the left side of the
Nº36 display (being pointed at by the
< IR MODE
in the display), at a dis-
tance of approximately 1"-3". Select the to-be-learned button on the remote,
then press the corresponding button on the Nº36 to fire the appropriate IR
code. The display will change to read
^ IR MODE
to indicate that the IR
code is being emitted, then will revert to
< IR MODE
when it is ready to
teach the next command.
(Tip: most learning remotes need to be held fairly
still while they learn new IR commands; movement can garble the received
IR.)
If you are uncertain as to how to prepare your remote control for learning
new commands, refer to the instructions provided with the remote control.
