/ metal steel enclosure. The irCUE 99 is supplied in four versions of wood – mahogany, birch, white birch and oak. The irCUE 99 is designed to blend with the most critical environments. Providing 32 backlight buttons, the irCUE 99 remote control is designed to fit perfectly in your hand.
2. Using The irCUE 99 and irCUE are connected to the rest of control system via IR communication with the unit irCUE Receiver or irCUE Receiver 485. The receivers then provide a connection via IR input or via CUEwire to the control units Assistant or Assistant-S.
3. Charging The irCUE 99 and irCUE wireless remote control panels are powered from internal accumulators 1 100 mAh. To charge the accumulators, use the delivered power supply adapter. The connector for connecting the charger is on the bottom side. Charging time for fully charged accumulator is 15 hours. Longer charging time is not dangerous because the protection against overcharging is built-in.
4. Front Panel The front panels are equipped with • Functional buttons • Backlight button • Transmit indicator The Functional buttons send IR codes to irCUE Receiver. The Backlight button activates the backlight of all buttons. The backlight lights a few seconds and after that it switches off automatically.
5. Button Labels 5.1. irCUE 99 ..............The panel uses one big label foil for all buttons. Steps 1. Use AutoCAD file named CS0149.0001.3-Foil.dwg for preparation of a layout. This file is available on www.cuesystem.com. The foil shape is described on the picture below.
6. Addressing The BUTTON_ID transmitted by a panel is number used in the programming for button identification. The value depends on a button position and it depends on a panel ADDRESS too. Both values are calculated according formula BUTTON_ID = Offset + Button Code Offset = 32 * ADDRESS For addressing with irCUE Receiver 485 see chapter Receivers / irCUE Receiver 485 / Addressing.
Page 10
The ADDRESS of the panel can be set in the range 0 to 9 by the firmware. Standard panel has address 0, addresses 1 to 9 are delivered on a special order. In the table below there are BUTTON_ID ranges for all addresses. ADDRESS BUTTON_ID range 1025...
7. Receivers 7.1. irCUE Receiver ............7.1.1. Mounting The ceiling near the center of the room is the best place to install it. The receiver can be mounted to the double ceiling as described on the picture below. The whole diameter is 60 mm. The minimum vertical space for the receiver is 30 mm.
7.1.2. Connecting The irCUE Receiver can be connected to • Assistant or Assistant-S using input marked IR-REC • irCUE Receiver 485 - see connection example in the following chapter. Up to (10) receivers can be connected in parallel. Connection example is described on the pictures below.
7.2. irCUE Receiver 485............. 7.2.1. Mounting The ceiling near the center of the room is the best place to install it. The receiver can be mounted to the double ceiling as described on the picture below. The whole diameter is 60 mm. The minimum vertical space for the receiver is 64 mm.
7.2.2. Connecting Using terminals, irCUE Receiver 485 can be connected to CUEwire. CUEwire +24 V Ground +24 V Ground +12 V Address Switch Data irCUE Receiver Ground To extend the coverage, it is possible to connect up to (4) irCUE Receivers (CS0080-C) - see picture below.
7.2.3. Addressing It is possible to add an offset to a BUTTON_ID sent by the panel using irCUE Receiver 485. It can be very helpful in multi room installation - the same panel can be identified in each room. That means one panel can start different actions in different rooms - see example on the picture below.
Page 16
The address of the receiver can be set up by the Address Switch - see picture above. BUTTON_ID sent by irCUE Receiver 485 to the control unit is a BUTTON_ID sent by IR wireless control panel with an added OFFSET value. Button ID and OFFSET value are calculated according formulas below. BUTTON_ID (irCUE Receiver 485) = Offset + BUTTON_ID (IR wireless control panel) Offset = 32 * ADDRESS ADDRESS is binary coded by DIP switch in the range 0 to 255.
8. Troubleshooting 1. The Brightness of LEDs is Visibly Decreasing. • Charge the accumulator immediately. 2. When pressing the button the LEDs are going on and off immediately and then back-light button flashes several times. • The accumulator is totally discharged. •...
