WC-1 WIRELESS CONTROLLER Introduction Thank you for purchasing the WC-1 Wireless Controller. The WC-1 requires a ccGEN2 CP-1 Central Processor and compatible interfaces, programmed by a Custom Professional, to control your home. Communicating over the network using Wi-Fi, or a wired LAN connection, the WC-1 receives commands from the Central Processor and relays them, via IR, to four or more devices. Controlling your home is simple with the WC-1.
WC-1 WIRELESS CONTROLLER Front, Rear and Bottom Panel Descriptions Front Panel The front panel consists of three indicator lights and an IR Blaster. IR Blaster Power LED: The Power LED illuminates when the unit is powered. Status LED: When the WC-1 powers up, both the Status and Data LEDs blink.
WC-1 WIRELESS CONTROLLER Rear Panel The rear panel ports are: DC 12V Power: Plug in the included 12V DC 1A power supply. IR Outputs (Ports 1-4): Connect an included 3.5mm IR emitter to each of the four IR outputs. Adjust the IR output signal strength for port 1 using the attenuator located on the bottom of the unit. LAN Connection: If a wired connection is needed, this port uses a standard Ethernet (RJ-45) plug to communicate via the local area network.
WC-1 WIRELESS CONTROLLER Bottom Panel The bottom panel consists of: Reset Button: The Reset button is located on the bottom of the unit, and requires a stylus, or paper clip to press the button. Pressing the Reset button will cycle the WC-1’s power. (Unplugging the WC-1’s power cable and then plugging it back in, also performs the same function.) Pressing and holding the Reset button for 15 seconds, will factory default the WC-1, and return the unit back to its original unprogrammed state.
WC-1 WIRELESS CONTROLLER Network Installation WARNING!! Before proceeding, a Custom Professional is required to install and configure your WC-1. The WC-1 is a network base station that allows full control of your components with the use of ccGEN2 Central Processor and compatible interfaces.
WC-1 WIRELESS CONTROLLER Network Discovery & Download WARNING!! Before proceeding, a Custom Professional is required to install and configure your WC-1. 1. Open a new or current project. In Step 3: Add URC Devices, add an WC-1 to a room included in your project which represents the physical location of the unit. 2. In Step 6: Network Setup, discover the WC-1 using the same process used for other Total Control network products in the project. 3. Press the Download button within the Program menu. 4.
WC-1 WIRELESS CONTROLLER Optimizing IR Flasher Levels Test a few commands for each component before fixing the flasher in place on the front panel of a device. Since TiVo, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation, you should test them thoroughly. Put up the on screen guide and test the navigation arrows. If operation is inconsistent or sluggish, lower the IR line output for port 1 only and/or reposition the flasher.
WC-1 WIRELESS CONTROLLER Overview of IR Routing There are several considerations to take into account when you are installing an WC-1 to control an array of components: 1. When connecting a flasher from the WC-1 to your component make sure to notate the IR outputs being used. Program the same port designations into the ccGEN2 program. 2. Assigning each component with its own individualized port number helps to control multiple components eliminating interference. 3.
