Programming the PCS-1 to Recognize an IR Remote Button
1. Select the button on the IR remote that you wish to use for switching the PC on/off -- typically
any button that is currently not being used for anything else.
2. Connect the PC to AC power. If your ATX power supply has a switch, make sure that it is on.
3. Press the button on the PCS-1, and the LED should light.
4. While holding the IR remote at least 15 (38cm) away from the receiver and aiming at the receiver,
press the IR remote button. The LED should go off, then light again after about 2 seconds.
Repeat step 4 three more times.
5. After the above steps are completed, the LED will flash several times, then go off. This indicates
that the IR code has been learned.
6. Test that the IR code is learned by aiming the remote at the receiver and pressing the IR button that
you just programmed into the PCS-1. Again, the remote should be at least 15 (38cm) from the
receiver when doing this. The PC should power up. If you press the IR button again within a couple
of seconds, the PC should power down.
Replace the PC covers/panels.
Troubleshooting
After installing and programming the PCS-1, the LED on the PCS-1 should blink shortly each time the
remote button is pressed. This verifies that installation and programming are correct.
If the LED of your PCS-1 blinks each time you press the programmed IR remote button, but the PC
does not power on/off, then it is most likely that your motherboard requires a hi pulse instead of the
low pulse that the PCS-1 is set to by default -- as over 90% of motherboards use this setting.
To switch to hi pulse mode, simply press and hold the button on the PCS-1 for several seconds until
the LED blinks several times. (If you need to switch back to low pulse mode, press and hold the
button on the PCS-1 for several seconds until the LED goes back off.)
