3.6.1 Details about IR-light
Infrared light is a not visible light that are in our environment all the day. Both as a natural
radiation from the sun and as human made radiation from i.e. electrical light. When copying
IR-signals to Pico4, Pico8 or Pico16, the IR-remote controllers are not able to separate the IR-
light from the sun or electrical lights from the IR-signals from another IR-remote controller.
Therefore, these IR-signals also will be copied into the Picomed controller. To avoid this
situation it is recommended to shield the area over and between the Picomed IR-transmitter
and the original IR-remote controller from other IR-signals while copying signals. This can be
done by covering the area over the two of them with your hand, a paper, a book etc.
If not, the IR-receiver receives the IR-light in the room and stores it including unwanted
signals. It may therefore finish the IR-training process based on unwanted signals before the
IR-transmit key is pressed on the other remote controller.
3.7 Macro
The macro function makes it possible to transmit several IR-signals with only one keystroke.
•
To be programmed from web-browser.
•
Macros may be programmed on both pages, even though page 2 is disabled.
•
Page select key on page 2 cannot be configured with a macro.
•
There is no limit of how many keys which may be configured with macros, although if
many keys are used for macro, fewer keys will be available to be used in macros.
•
Each macro consists of a number of commands with info about which page and which key
IR shall be sent from.
•
A macro can have a maximum of 10 commands.
•
All keys may be used in a macro.
3.8 Factory setting
When a factory setting is done, it will:
•
Delete all IR-signals.
•
Program IR-signals as shown in tables below.
•
Program factorysettings for all parameters as shown in parantheses in chapter 3.5.
«NOR» and «SVE» in table refer to Norwegian or Swedish configuration in the IR-
remote. Configuration of your unit can be found in the general settings menu – Product
Firmware.
•
In the tables, LC = LockCode.
3.8.1 Pico4
•
If page 2 is enabled, then key 3 will act as a page select key. If disabled, key 3 can
transmit IR-signals in the same way as the other keys.
•
A lock code can be programmed on Key 4.
•
Key 4 may be programmed to transmit the same IR-signal on page 1 and 2; the key will be
“page independent”.
