URC-2
PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE CONTROLLER
INTRODUCTION
The URC-2 is a highly sophisticated learning remote, capable of storing single
or macro IR commands on each of 8 banks (or layers) of 48 keys. Unlike most
learning remotes, the bank (source) keys, in addition to selecting the desired
source, are capable of storing macro commands. This permits an immediate
response of the source or system to a single key press. The URC-2 will send
any required number of comm

b) If you allow more than 30 seconds to elapse between key presses, the URC-2 will automatically leave the Program Mode (enters Sleep Mode). If this occurs, simply repeat steps 3 through 5. 6. Pick another key and repeat steps 4 and 5 for all commands you wish the URC-2 to learn. 7. When finished, press CANCEL and the active Source Key simultaneously to leave the Program Mode (or allow it to time out by waiting 30 seconds). Refer to Fig. 7.

Exceeding Memory Limits With the large 32k memory capacity of the URC-2, it is highly unlikely that you will ever exceed the memory limit, even with large sequences. If you should exceed the limit, however, the Status and Source LED's will blink alternately Red 4 times, then go to steady Green. You may then need to "off-load" (delete) some commands and rearrange your project to stay within the memory limit.

CLONING When you have finished programming and have checked all commands Programmed Unit Un-programmed Unit for proper operation, you are now able to copy (clone) the contents to COM Ports other URC-2's, if desired. This will save you the tedium of repeated programming when you want identical commands in additional URC-2's. Refer to Fig. 13 and proceed as follows: UP UP URC-2's (Battery Covers Removed) 1.

Controllers ADVANCED PROGRAMMING WITH DD4 SOFTWARE The COM Port (Fig. 13), in addition to cloning, allows the URC-2 to be programmed using Xantech's optional ® DD4 Dragon Drop-IR™ system, with the ease and efficiency of your Windows -based PC. Complete "virtual" programming of any configuration of the URC-2 (as well as the Xantech Smart Pad and Waterpad 3 keypads) is possible. All commands can be easily tested while still in the "virtual" stage, prior to transferring to a real URC-2. While all

10. Factory Learned IR Commands. Certain atypical IR commands that are not learnable, or those that operate more correctly when learned with special techniques at Xantech, plus a library of IR codes for Xantech products, are available on the CD ROM that comes with DD4. These, and the most recent updates to these files, are also available on the Xantech web site at www.xantech.com. Please use them whenever possible to save time and to have cleaner operating code.

Controllers c) On some "teaching" remotes, the internal IR emitter is considerably offset from the center of the case. Also the "learning" sensor on the URC-2 is somewhat off center as well ... it is in-line with the SAT key LED. You may have to experiment with lateral displacement of the remotes to get the emitter and sensor devices in good alignment. d) Experiment with different key press times on the "teaching" remote. Usually a brief "tap" is all that is necessary. e) Be sure there are n
