ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL
20
With the ISM4 powered up and with the IR Emitters attached to the devices to be controlled, program the ISM4 as
follows:
NOTE:
Unless instructed to press a button for a specific duration a button press should be at most one full
second.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If programming the ISM4 so the System Reference Device (Source 1) will be turned
ON and OFF with its native remote or other system controller,
the programmer must ensure that the Power
command (if present) be placed in Command Structure number 1. This applies to both the ON and OFF macros.
This requirement is imposed on Source 1 ONLY. Refer to the “
Sense In
” section for further details.
If there are other ‘setup’ commands to be executed as part of the Source 1 ON Macro, (Input, Surround Mode,
Tuner Preset, etc), simply program a delay long enough to allow Source 1 to power up and respond to additional
IR commands. (
Step 13
below). Recall that the Delay will be executed regardless of whether or not a Power
Command is present in Command Structure 1.
If any of Sources 2-4 will have ‘setup’ commands included in their ON Macros, be sure to program a delay in the
Source ON Macro, Command Structure 1 that is long enough to allow those Sources to power up and be ready to
respond to additional IR commands.
The following sections mention the ISM4’s time dependent push button function blink patterns. For a detailed
discussion refer to section “
Source 1-4 LED’s”
. These blink patterns were added to transfer the time keeping
burden away from the programmer and onto the ISM4.
Learn IR
1.
Press the
Sequence Button
for 2 seconds (Indicated by the first blink of the Active Source LED) to enter
Edit
Mode
. The ISM4 will default to the
Source 1 ON Macro
. (Source 1 and Program LED’s sold green.)
2.
Press the
Sequence Button
to enter
IR Learn Mode
for
Source 1 ON Macro Command Structure 1
. The
Source 1 LED
will flash for about 5 seconds. This is the amount of time allowed to teach an
IR Command
.
3.
Position the
IR Remote
for the System Reference Device (Source 1) directly in front of the
IR Learn Window
on the ISM4 (within an inch) and press and hold the
ON
or
Power Button
on the remote until the
Program
LED
flashes
green
three times. If the
Program LED
flashes
red
three times, proceed to
Step 9
.
4.
Press the
Test Button
and confirm the function of the learned command on
Source 1
.
5.
If
Source 1
responded properly to the learned command, press
Sequence
again to save the command. The
Program LED
will flash once. The ISM4 will automatically return to
EDIT Mode
upon save. To return to
Edit
Mode
without saving, press the
PREV Button.
Proceed to
Step 11 or 13,
as appropriate.
6.
If
Source 1
did not
respond properly to the learned command, press
Delete
. The ISM4 will automatically go
into
IR Learn Mode
for the current
Command Structure
. (Source 1 ON Macro; Command Structure 1)
7.
Repeat
Steps 3-6
as necessary until the command is learned, tested, confirmed and saved.
8.
To add a
Delay
to
Command Structure 1
, proceed to
Step 13
.
IR Learn Error
9.
If the
Program LED
flashed
red
three times during IR Learn, that indicates a learn error. Press
Delete
to
remove the bad command from memory.
10.
Repeat
Steps 2-6
as necessary until the command is learned, tested, confirmed and saved.
No Delay – with additional Command Structures in the Macro
11.
If there is
no delay
required for
Command Structure 1
, and there is at least one more
Command Structure
in the
Macro
, press "
Next"
for one second. The
Source 1 LED
will flash
twice
indicating the ISM4 is ready to
Learn
the
IR Command
for
Command Structure 2
. If the ISM4 is pointing to Command Structure 3, the
Source 1 Led will blink 3 times. It will blink 4 times if pointing to Command Structure number 4 and 5 times if
pointing to Command Structure number 5.
12.
Repeat
Steps 2-9
as necessary until the IR Command for
Command Structure 2
is learned, tested,
confirmed and saved.
