(0, R, O, 0=0; cs16) Reply indicates NOT in override mode
NOTE: The use of the Override Timeout is not mandatory, but very strongly recommended
especially when using Override commands to modify Baud Rate.
IR Command: (receiveID, S, I, z=ir; cs16)
(only applicable to units with IR Control capabilities)
The BKC-DIP can be used to send virtual IR commands to the attached B&K Components device.
For example, the Zone 2 IR code for B&K volume down is C4h, thus:
(00, S, I, 2=C4;02A1)
would appear to the device as if the user had issued a Zone 2 Volume down command from the
IR remote to a unit of Receive ID 00h.
NOTE: z of 1 is Zone 1, z of 2 is Zone 2, z of C is Zone 12.
NOTE: For a complete listing of IR commands, see the complete listing in the product specific
Appendix F.
Front Panel Commands: (receiveID, S, F, z=fp; cs16)
(only applicable to units with Front Panel Control capabilities)
The BKC-DIP can be used to send virtual front panel button pushes to the attached B&K
Components device.
For example, the Zone 1 front panel code for volume down is 0Ah, thus:
(01, S, F, 1=0A; 0298)
would appear to the device as if the user had turned the volume down from the front panel of the
Receive ID 01h unit.
NOTE: z of 1 is Zone 1, z of 2 is Zone 2.
NOTE: For a complete listing of front panel commands, see the complete listing in the product
specific Appendix G.
Error Logs: (receiveID, S, E, identifier=value,...identifier=value; cs16)
It is possible to clear the Error Logs via a Set command with a value of 0.
For example:
(0, S, E, 0=0, 2=0; 02EF) Reset the Preserved State and Non-Volatile Memory
Error logs of a Series II product to zero.
NOTE: It is possible to set the Error Logs to ANY value from 00h – FFh, so it is possible to test
Error response logic via artificially generating non-zero Error Log values. However, the
most typical application would be value of 0 to reset an Error Log.
NOTE: Error Logs are NOT cleared by a factory reset sequence in order to preserve this
important information which B&K Components’ customer service may request if the unit
