Page 4: Control Module
Unlike a conventional switch that can be pressed and held a I-Click sends a ’click’ ie a momentary transient on then off. Although, it is possible to configure an I-Click to toggle its relay on then off based on two click actions. www.CelticMagic.org... - Page 5 The I-Click takes its power from the USB lead and this is required to be connected at all times even if a USB trigger signal is not used. An I-Click can alternatively be powered from a USB power source such as a USB mains adaptor or a USB Battery Power Pack such as often used to charge mobile phones.

Notepad and make sure it is in focus ( ie click on the page ready to type) . When the I-Click is frozen in its seup state (see 1.6) press and hold the button until two red lids light (approx 6 seconds). The current configura- tion will then be typed into the open word processor document. - Page 9 3.2 Output style (Red options) This configures the USB communication to the host computer. It can be a keyboard character or a left mouse click. It can also be turned off if only the relay is required. The relay will operate at all times and is not affected by the USB output selected.

Page 10: Operation
The I-Click will attempt to compensate for small movements over time and will alarm by flashing all leds with a bleep if the distance is too large (purple) or too small (red) and manual intervention is then necessary to correct. - Page 11 Bend the IMR rod without straining the plastic ends to locate the sensor such as it is pointing straight at the area of skin with the best movement, at a distance of around 1-4mm. The I-Click led display will indicate when the optimum distance is achieved.

Page 12: Setting The Sensitivity
The sensor can be configured to either detect movement towards or alter- nately away from itself. The direction being detected is indicated by the colour of the bargraph when in use. Green: Towards the sensor (default) Blue: Away from the sensor See the Hardware section 2 4.1.3 Setting the Sensitivity The sensitivity knob should be carefully set. - Page 13 (default) . Blue is used for ‘away from the IR Sensor’ . As the distance changes a bright bargraph grows. An output occurs when the top led turns white and a audio bleep occurs similiatnously To return the I-Click to Freeze press the button once. www.CelticMagic.org...
- Page 14 Some devices using IOS and Android are looking for a longer press to more easily make selections. To enable the I-Click to produce an occasional longer output when required, the optional ‘Long Click’ feature can be selected in the Yellow Mis- cellaneous menu .
- Page 15 KIT1 illustrated 5.1 Mounting the IR Sensor There is no right or wrong method to mount the I-Clicks IR Sensor. The I-Click will be provided with at least one mounting system that is chosen at time of purchase. Two types are discussed here to illustrate the principles involved, for the latest range of option accessories please visit the I-Click page on the Celtic Magic website : www.celticmagic/I-Click.
- Page 16 I-click in this example must be configured to operate when the finger is moving away from it. See Section 5.4 Aiming the IR Sensor Normally the IR-Sensor points directly at the skin in a flat orientation and detects slight movement towards or away.

To compensate slightly the Relay Toggle feature (see 1.3.2) was always in the de- sign to allow a click for on and a second click for off.
