V. Program Pixie cont’d
For remotes that implement a "press and hold repeat," verify that the code only
squirts for a moment if the key is pressed briefly, but continues to regularly emit if
the key is press-and-held.
To re-learn a key that did not seem to learn correctly, simply press any other key
on the keypad, then press the target again to rearm it.
8. Repeat for Each Button
: While you are still in learning mode, program and veri-
fy each button.
9. To Erase All Keys
: Press and hold any two buttons to erase the Pixie. The
whole keypad will begin blinking slowly to indicate that it is going to be erased.
Blinking will gradually quicken to CONFIRM DEVICE ERASE. After a few seconds
all keys will go dark and the Pixie will beep four times, indicating it has been
erased. Once a device has been erased there is no way to un-erase it.
10. To Exit Learning Mode
: Gently remove the paper clip from the Learning Mode
aperture to exit Learning Mode. Be sure not to hold any buttons while removing the
paper clip, or the unit will be set to
cloning mode
(see page 14 ff.).
11. Final Test of Learned Codes
: Verify that the IR light pipe bud has been placed
directly over the IR detector on the device the Pixie controls. Press the Pixie button
that you wish to test. A red LED inside the Cable Assembly block will blink when
the code is being sent, but
the light pipe bud does not illuminate
.
12. Troubleshooting:
If the cable assembly LED blinks and you cannot control the
device, BE ABSOLUTELY SURE that the light pipe bud is located in the right place.
If it still does not work, test other programmed buttons. If some work but others do
not, try re-programming the buttons that do not work. Make sure that you press the
button on the remote that you are learning for at least one second.
If you have gone through all of these steps and still cannot control the device, it
may have an IR format that cannot be learned. Note that this is extremely rare and
it is much more like that the IR is miswired, the bud is improperly placed, et cetera.
Please contact SP Controls if you believe you have a device that cannot be con-
trolled.
