Pushbutton 48 Each pushbutton performs a specific operation according to the AXCESS software program in your AMX Control System. The red transmission LED, located in the top-center of the transmitter, flashes when you press one of the pushbuttons, indicating that an RF or IR signal is being transmitted.
Features The TXC transmitters offer these features: • RF and IR wireless control • Selectable 38 kHz or 455 kHz IR frequency • Custom pushbutton configurations • Microprocessor-based architecture • Custom-engraved overlay and pushbutton layouts • Alternate radio frequencies • LED to indicate signal transmission (TXC16+ and TXC32+ only) •...
IR, RF, Radio Code, and IR Frequency Settings Overview The TXC series transmitters transmit IR or RF signals, depending on how you set positions 1, 2, and 3 on the 10-position DIP switch (Figure 4) located under the battery cover. You must set the DIP switch position 3 to ON for RF mode. IR, RF, and IR Frequency Settings Figure 4 shows the DIP switch settings for IR and RF modes.
Radio Code Each pushbutton on your transmitter represents an AXCESS channel number. All of Note the pushbuttons on a transmitter represents a group of channel numbers. This Do not set both DIP switch grouping is known as a radio code. After the radio code is set on the transmitter, positions 1 and 2 to the ON each button you press sends a specific channel number to the control system.

Trigger switch operation (TXC4 series only) The TXC4 series transmitters have a trigger switch on the front underside of the unit. On the TXC4L and TXC4L+ models, this switch operates the laser pointer. On the TXC4 and TXC4+ models, this switch can be configured in one of two ways: Configuration 1 (default): Pushbutton 1 Remove the battery cover and locate position 4 (Figure 6) of the DIP switch.
Radiation hazards Laser beams produce light frequencies that are harmful to the human eye. DO NOT look into, or shine a laser beam into another person's eyes. The frequencies of laser light can cause eye retina damage. Read the following WARNING . Warning Laser radiation hazard DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE...
