•
A macro can be interrupted by pressing a key on remote control or external key
connected.
2.4 Page 2 enabled
When page 2 is enabled, the page-select key will switch between page 1 and page 2. When
not in use, the transmitter will remember the last page used. A yellow light will illuminate
some seconds after each keystroke to indicate which page is selected: left is page 1 and right
side is page 2.
•
On the Pico4 and Pico8, the lower left key is the page-select key when page 2 is enabled.
This key will not transmit IR when page 2 is enabled.
•
On the Pico16 the lower left key, marked with two arrows, is dedicated as page select key.
If page 2 is
disabled
, this key will not have any function.
2.4.1 Maximum no of channels on Pico4 and Pico8 when page 2 is enabled
•
Pico4 has 3 keys on each page for IR-transmission, will be able to transmit 6 channels.
•
Pico8 has 7 keys on each page for IR-transmission, will be able to transmit 14 channels.
•
If lock-code key is programmed as page-independent (same IR-signal on page 1 and page
2), it will transmit the same signal on page 1 and page 2.
Pico4 will have a maximum of 5 channels.
Pico8 will have a maximum of 13 channels.
2.5 Lock code key
The lock code key transmits IR-signals in the same way as the other keys. Additionally:
•
It may be programmed to be page independent. In this case, the same IR-signal will be
transmitted regardless page 1 or page 2 is selected.
•
It is able to transmit a «lock code», i.e. a more advanced code which is more secure than
ordinary code. Normally, these codes is used for entrance doors.
•
It is able to send a «common code». For more information, please refer to chapter 2.5.1.
2.5.1 Common code
The lock code key can be programmed to transmit a «common code» together with the
transmission of a lock code. This signal is mainly used on common doors which is accessed
by many people. With common code enabled, it is possible to use the same key for opening a
common door (activated by common code from transmitter) and for entrance doors (activated
by lock code from transmitter). The IR-transmitter transmits both common- and lock code
when pressing the key once. No special action necessary to choose one or another signal.
2.6 Scanning
The scanning mode may be used when a person is not able to use the ordinary keys. The IR-
transmitters may be controlled by one external switch connected with a 3,5 mm mono jack. It
is also possible to use ordinary keys when an external key is connected.
•
If an ordinary key is used when scanning is activated, the scanning sequence is cancelled.
Picomed’s transmitter will respond to this as an ordinary keystroke.
•
Press & hold on external switch will not be cancelled by pressing an ordinary key.
