Operating the Display
Each remote control is shipped with the same identification code, 01785. To change this
code so, for example, individual displays can be controlled separately, the
reprogramming process follows. Both the display and the remote control need to be
programmed:
13.1 Display
1. Navigate to
Advanced Settings > System Settings > IR Remote Code
.
2. Press the Enter key to start editing the code.
3. Using the numeric keypad on the remote, enter a new code (max value is 0xFFF or
65,535).
4. Press the Enter key to confirm the entry.
13.2 Remote Control
1. On the IR Remote, hold down the
Code
key for 5 seconds. The red LED on the
remote should turn on and remain on.
2. Enter the same code that was entered on the display (including leading zeros).
3. Once five digits have been entered, the LED should turn off. The remote has been
programmed.
Comments
The RS-
232 command “IR.Code=XXXXX” may also be used to program the display
only.
If a valid code is not entered and no keys are pressed for 30 seconds, the light will
turn off and the remote will exit programming mode
To expand the coverage of the remote control, an IR sensor with a 112-inch
(2850 mm) long cable is included with every Planar LookThru model, shown
on the right. The phone jack plugs into the port
marked “IR” on the
perpendicular backside of the display.
13.3 External Control
In addition to using the Planar remote control and keypad, there are other
methods of controlling the Planar LookThru display externally:
Using a serial link to send ASCII commands and to receive responses to
those commands. The same set of commands can be sent over RS 232,
TCP or UDP. See the
Planar LookThru RS232 User Manual
for more details.
Using the discrete infrared (IR) codes to program a third-party remote control. See
the
“IR Command Protocol” section, next.
