Device Control Connections and Configuration

• Verify that ports are wired correctly and that ground (earthing) wires are connected to
the proper pins on the control processor and, if applicable, on the controlled device.
• Ensure that each IR emitter head is placed adjacent to or directly over the IR pickup
window on the controlled device.
• Verify that the appropriate drivers were used while creating the configuration file and that
the correct commands and signal types (IR, RS-232, Ethernet) are associated with the
appropriate ports on the control processor and on the other devices.
• For digital input and output connections, verify whether the application requires the
+5 VDC pull-up resistor within the IPCP for TTL circuits and use the software to check
whether it is selected within the configuration.
• Verify that input current at any digital input or output port does not exceed 250 mA.
• Verify that input current at the volume control port (IPCP Pro 250) does not exceed
10 VDC and that the amplifier is cabled correctly, as well.
