PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE CONTROLLER
INTRODUCTION
The URC-2 is a highly sophisticated learning remote, capable of storing single
or macro IR commands on each of 8 banks (or layers) of 48 keys. Unlike most
learning remotes, the bank (source) keys, in addition to selecting the desired
source, are capable of storing macro commands. This permits an immediate
response of the source or system to a single key press. The URC-2 will send
any required number of commands in sequences (macros) from any desired
key for control of extensive A/V systems (limited only by memory). Lighted
keypad panel comes on with any motion or key press and, to conserve batteries,
goes off after 6 seconds of inactivity. The lighted panel can also be deactivated
(and reactivated) at will, to further extend battery life.
FEATURE SUMMARY
The needs of the professional A/V installer were seriously taken into consider-
ation in the design of the URC-2, as the following features list will attest.
However, its ease of programming for basic A/V systems makes it well suited
for small systems as well.
• 8 Source (bank) keys with LED status indicators.
• Programming & battery condition LED indicator.
• 40 Function (operational) keys.
• All 48 keys illuminate for ease of night viewing.
• Auto wake-up with motion always lights up the last active Source LED.
• Auto sleep & wake-up of keypad lighting conserves battery power.
• Programming can be accomplished on the unit itself or by using Xantech's DD4 Dragon Drop-IR™
Windows
®
based PC program (optional).
• COM Port (RS232 compatible) permits cloning of programmed contents to other URC-2's. It also permits
transfer of programming from DD4 Dragon Drop-IR™ (optional).
• Programming system is similar to Xantech's Smart Pad
• Programming functions include; single or sequenced (macro) commands, delays, delete and step editing
(with insert and delete).
• Additional advanced functions available only with optional DD4 Dragon Drop-IR™ software include;
tiering, cursor shift, punch, copy, paste, changeable code groups, adjustable sleep timeout, bank track
programming and PC back-up of programmed contents. Also, a Smart Pad
a URC-2 and the easily carried URC-2 then used to download the project to all desired Smart Pad
the various rooms.
• Super Cap back-up preserves memory (for more than 8 hours) when changing batteries.

  • Page 3: Quick Start

    QUICK START Perform the following basic steps to begin using the URC-2 immediately. Installing Batteries 1. Turn the unit over and remove the battery cover. Press the cover Tab in the direction of the arrow on Tab and lift up. See Fig. 3.

  • Page 4: Programming Sequences (Macros)

    If this occurs, simply repeat steps 3 through 5. 6. Pick another key and repeat steps 4 and 5 for all commands you wish the URC-2 to learn. 7. When finished, press CANCEL and the active Source Key simultaneously to leave the Program Mode (or allow it to time out by waiting 30 seconds).
  • Page 5 • The URC-2 allows the insertion of timed delays at any point within a sequence. Proceed as follows: 1. Enter the Sequence Mode and begin your sequences as described previously.

    Exceeding Memory Limits With the large 32k memory capacity of the URC-2, it is highly unlikely that you will ever exceed the memory limit, even with large sequences. If you should exceed the limit, however, the Status and Source LED's will blink alternately Red 4 times, then go to steady Green.
  • Page 7 Refer to Fig. 11. Restore In rare instances, while programming the URC-2, or cloning from one to another, the unit may lock up and not respond to any key presses. If this occurs, temporarily remove one battery, then reinstall it. This will reset the unit and restore operation.
  • Page 8 Refer to Fig. 14. The Status LED will flash Green and Amber alternately on both units while a copy of the memory contents is transferring to the unprogrammed unit. You may "clone" as many URC-2's as desired by repeating this process.
  • Page 9 8. PC Back-Up of Programmed Contents. When a URC-2 project is finished, the "virtual" keypad file can be stored for future client reference. If, for some reason, the programming in a URC-2 is lost, it can be quickly restored from these files.

    This can occur if you hold the "teaching" remote too far away, at too great an angle, or offset too far vertically from the front of the IR window of the URC-2. It may also occur if there is IR interference present.
  • Page 11 On some "teaching" remotes, the internal IR emitter is considerably offset from the center of the case. Also the "learning" sensor on the URC-2 is somewhat off center as well ... it is in-line with the SAT key LED. You may have to experiment with lateral displacement of the remotes to get the emitter and sensor devices in good alignment.
