Setting the HAL-REM Infra-Red Handset The HAL REM Infra-Red Handset enables the user to recall lighting settings that have previously been stored into the HAL IR4-4 8 button master control plate from any ‘line of sight’ position within the room being controlled. By pointing the HAL-Rem directly at the infra-red receiver of the HAL IR4-4 Master Control Plate the user is also able to program settings directly into the HAL system in a similar way to how they originally programmed the HAL IR4-4 Master Control Plate. Centre Scene Buttons SC1 to SC4 The left hand scene buttons of the HAL IR4-4 Master Control Plate are replicated by selecting one of the grey buttons SC1, SC2, SC3 & SC4 on the infra-red remote handset. To turn selected scene off either press scene button once more or press the handset OFF button. Numeric Keypad Buttons 1 to 8 The right hand channel (or circuit) buttons of the Master Control Plate are replicated by the lower grey numeric buttons 1, 2, 3 & 4 on the handset. If using the HAL remote control for multi-channel installations (i.e. more than 4 channels) the * button on the numeric keypad is pressed to access these additional channels and the respective channel number on the numeric keypad is pressed to select (the * button ‘bumps’ the individual channel level buttons on the remote handset up from channels 1 - 8 to channels 9 – 16) Additional Scenes The grey centre round button when pressed ‘bumps’ the selected scenes up from no’s 1 - 4 to no’s 5 - 8. This gives an additional 4 scenes that are ONLY accessible from the HAL infra-red handset. These additional scenes are not indicated on the HAL IR4-4 Master Control Plate. To access these additional scenes press the centre round grey button followed by scene button 1 and you will then access scene 5, the channels can be adjusted and scene 5 can be stored. Press round grey button and scene button 2 and you will access to scene 6, again storing a scene in the same manner (repeat for scenes 7 & 8). These scenes are normally factory set to cover all channels and will lower in steps from scene 5 to scene 8. The ON button of the remote handset brings ALL scenes on to FULL, and all led’s will illuminate. This can be used as a cleaning switch, panic button or simply or ‘full-on’ level. These settings can be copied into a suitable ‘intelligent and learning’ remote control handset if required. This enables the user to perhaps only use one handset where previously several different remotes may have been used. Note The HAL system & infra-red remote handset uses RC5 codes. There is an RS232 protocol available with an interface pcb as an extra cost option if required. This is useful if you wish to operate the HAL system using third party control equipment such as a PC or Touch screen etc. Download as PDF below, also available is the operations guide for the handset. edited by LeeFry on 06/01/2010 -- Lee Fry Forum Administrator lee[at]focus-sb[dot]co[dot]uk Attachments: HAL Infra Red.pdf HAL Infra Red Operation.pdf
