1. Introduction 1.1 Introduction to the VL120018 VL120018 panel is a Wall Control Panel. Every button is programmable and works either individually or together. VL120018 is built in the programmable 3 RS232, 1 RS485, 3 Infrared & 2 Relay, and 1 mini USB for programming.
Programmable Control Panel Firstly, dig a hole on the desk to the size marked on the aperture paper (shown in Figure 1-1). Secondly, put the device into the hole and adjust it to flush with the table (shown in Figure 1-2). Then, plug a set screw into the fixing mounting and screw the nuts tightly.
Programmable Control Panel for it) 2.2 Side Panel Mini USB Connector: 1. Communicate with PC which uses PS-WP to program the buttons. 2. Transmit the infrared data when learning IR (Optional). Infrared sensor port: receive and learn the IR code, to build the IR database.
④ ② VL120018 has various ports in the rear panel, including Lopping port, RS232 port, RS485 port, IR port, Relay port and Power port. Below is the introduction: ① Power connector: 12VDC. Be sure that the “+” and “-” never be mixed or wrong connection.
3. Connections 3.1 System Diagram VL120018 can active different ports at one time. It means every button can send the RS232 and RS485 commands, IR code and control the relay at the same time. The demo system diagram as below: 3.2 Connection of Programming and Looping...

ID of each programmable control panel by PS-WP. The ID number is from 01 to 99, and it also is the class of VL120018 in the loop, different programmable control panels should set to different ID. After connections finish, we can set the control modes by PS-...
There are USB driver file and PS-WP software in the disk. The PS-WP can run directly without installation. But when connect VL120018 with PC by USB, it may need to install the USB driver. Use the driver file to install the driver of USB, we can use USB to program the programmable control panel.
Programmable Control Panel We will introduce all the configurations one by one. 4.2.1 Main Menu The main menu includes file management, system model, connection type and help. 1) File management: Open/Save/Save as a configuration. After program, user can save the configuration to a file, so that you can use the same configuration next time.

RS and IR types, depend on the uses of the two shared ports. The dialog is as the picture below: The output port set in PS-WP and the port used in VL120018 is corresponding. And there are four output types. They are showed as below form (“√” means port is...
Programmable Control Panel 3) Connection type: the instructions are in the picture below: 1:Com, connect by serial port. 2:USB, connect by mini USB. 3:Disconnect, disconnect the connection. 4:Upload: upload the programmed data to the programmable control panel. It will clear all the old data in the programmable control panel.

Programmable Control Panel Key Action Type: 1. Press: Execute events when press button. 2. Release: Execute events when release button. 3. Page: Built-in most 4 actions, actions need to be switched by other buttons, press to execute. 4. Toggle: Built-in most 4 actions, actions will loop run when press.
3. Yellow Keys: Keys 33-36, all are virtual keys. Key 33 and 34 are for I/O control, which is not supported with VL120018. Key 36 is a start action, if add events to this action, when VL120018 is power on, it will execute the events in this action. Key 35 is delay button, there are three time slots can be set.
Programmable Control Panel Event setting Event setting includes RS232, IR, I/O, Relay, Delay, Compare, LED, Page, Loop and Toggle setting. Before set events, an action must be added first. The following introduction will show you the setting of each event: ...

Programmable Control Panel Notice: When editing finish, remember to save the editing, and then press “OK”. There are two send types: send once and send more times. When select “more times”, the send times and the delay between times can be set. See in picture below: The send port must be selected as the same as model setting, otherwise the event cannot be added.

Programmable Control Panel Page setting White buttons can be set to type “page” that include four actions. To change different actions, it will need other white buttons to active the page action number. Here take a example to show you the use of this function: Take button1 for example: click key1 and select the action type “page”, add the four actions to the action list.
Page 23
Programmable Control Panel Then set the “page” event to make four “press” actions to active the four page number: key5-num1, key6-num2, key7-num3 and key8-num4. It will perform like this: a) When press the button5 and then button1, the button1 will execute the event of num1, press button1 more times it will execute num1 more times;...
Programmable Control Panel The setting steps of toggle are similar with the page setting. But toggle performs differently, for the actions in it are loop running, it will perform as below (take the same example like page function): a) When press the button5 and then button1, the button1 will execute the event of num1, press button1 more times it will execute num2, then num3->num4->num1 and so on.
