Datasheet
SIMPLE MODE
Hold down the two bottom buttons to
put Control
3
into learn mode, point the
original device remote at the front of the
Control
3
, and program one code per
button. “Off” is pre-set to send the code
twice for projectors, and the bottom
buttons send codes repeatedly when
held down.
ADVANCED MODE
Connect to a PC and use included
software to allocate multiple RS-232,
IR, and 12v triggers to each button.
Commands for each button can be
sent simultaneously, sequentially, or
repeatedly if you hold the button down.
LABELS
Clear caps unclip off the buttons from
the front to allow label changes. A set of
printed labels are included, and users
can print their own as necessary.
BACKLIT BUTTONS
Backlit buttons are easy to read. If any
buttons are not used blank buttons are
included which block the backlight.
SCHEDULING
Once programmed, a schedule can
besetup.
DELAY
Commands can be delayed up to 60
seconds. For example when you turn
a projector on it takes time to warm up
so the motorised screen doesn’t come
down until the projector is ready.
DUPLICATION
Programs can be saved to a PC making
duplication for a roll out simple.
NEED MORE BUTTONS?
If more than six buttons are required
the software allows you to add another
Control
3
as an extension keypad which
connects to the master via RS485. All
commands are still held and sent by the
master Control
3
.
CODE LIBRARY
An integrated library of IR and RS-232
codes speed programming up. IR codes
can be added by using the original
remote, or by copying and pasting the
hex code if you have lost the remote.
BATTERY
The Control
3
comes with a mains power
adaptor, but can also be powered by
2 x AAA batteries (not included). A
switch under the batteries selects the
power source. Note: when running on
battery backlights do not stay lit and 12v
triggers will not be sent.
IR
The IR receiver for learning codes is on
the front panel, and is accompanied by
an IR emitter which eliminates the need
to run an IR cable in smaller rooms.
Two external IR emitters are included;
one with a 10m cable, and one with a
200mm cable.
RS-232 AND 485
These two protocols use the same
codes but RS-485 only requires
two cables and can be run a longer
distance. Note: a projector with an
RS-232 port will not be able to decode
RS-485 signal.
12V TRIGGER
Many projector screens can be
controlled with a 12v trigger voltage.
Note: Many projection screens with
remote controls use RF which cannot be
learned or sent by the Control
3
.
