6. The green "Probe" indicator will begin to flash indicating that the IR Linc is
ready to receive PLC commands to associate with the learned IR signal.
7. From a compatible transmitter, send the house/unit code that is to be identi-
fied with this IR signal followed by the function code (ON, OFF, Dim, etc.).
8. The green indicator will turn on solid for a few seconds to indicate that it suc-
cessfully received the PLC commands then turn off.
Learning Tips:
• The remote should be level with the
IR Linc and directly in front on it.
The emitter on the front of the
remote should be located directly
between the two built-in IR blasters
on the front of the IR Linc and locat-
ed about 1 to 2 inches from them.
• The remote should have fresh strong batteries. If commands are not being
learned correctly or it takes multiple tries, try changing the batteries.
• Since the green "Probe" indicator is used to indicate status during learning
cycles, the probe be disconnected during learning.
• The IR learning time is fixed at no more than five seconds. IR Linc will allow 15
seconds for the capturing the associated powerline signal.
• Sunlight, florescent light sources and plasma screen monitors can interfere with
IR reception. The best learning will occur in darkened rooms.
• The length of time the teaching remote's button is held down can have an effect
on learning success. In some cases, the button may need to be held down
longer than normal for the IR Linc to successfully sample the signal. Other
times, it may only need to be held down less than a second.
Errors that can occur during learning
If powerline commands are sent while the green "Probe"
indicator is blinking and the green indicator turns off
instead of going solid, the IR command was not learned
properly. The command was not saved to memory and
no deleting is necessary. Re-teach the IR command by
following the instructions above. Sending a powerline
command during the IR learning cycle will take the IR
Link out of the learning mode.
The IR Linc has a finite amount of memory for learning IR commands. The total
number of commands it can learn is based upon the length of each IR command. A
maximum of 31 IR commands can be learned, assuming that the sum of each com-
mand does not exceed the IR Linc Controller's memory. If the green "Probe" indica-
tor goes solid and then turns off instead of blinking after the command is learned,
the memory is full.

Tip:
Unplug or disable other
PLC/ X10 transmitters in
the house during program-
ming. This will reduce the
likelihood of an uninten-
tional signal being learned
by the IR Linc.
