    RS-485 serial commands. The unit allows complete systems integration and system control via a single computer workstation, contact closure and / or infrared remote. The CTL101 can also be used to remotely control a VCR, DVD, INLINE unit or any other IR receiver equipped device by passing along IR remote signals.

    1.) Set the Dipswitches - as appropriate for your installation (if applicable). See pages 13 & 14 for more details. 2.) Place / Install the CTL101 Interface - at the desired location. Make sure that the IR sensor window remains unobstructed.

    Sensor to the IR Sensor Input Port (see the Wiring Diagram on page 6 and Application Diagram D on page 10). The sensor can be mounted in a remote location and can relay signals to the CTL101 from up to 1000 feet away. Set the Sensor Mode button to the EXT position.

    (see the Dipswitch Bank Tables on page 14). Sensor Mode - is located on the left rear of the CTL101. This switch allows users to toggle between the unit’s internal IR sensor and the remote sensor. When the switch is in the INT position (down), the unit’s internal IR sensor is active (factory default).

    RS-232, or RS-422 / RS-485 physical interface. Dipswitch Bank #2 is used to isolate the contact closure ports and to configure the CTL101 to the default baud rate (9600). The factory default and specialized dipswitch settings are listed below:...
  • Page 18: Dipswitch Bank #1

    DIPSWITCH BANK #2 In most cases, the contact closure ports use internal power from the CTL101 to sense changes (switches 1 & 2 are enabled). Users can completely isolate the remote contacts & wiring from the CTL101 by incorporating an external +5 volt power supply into the system (see the CTL101 Contact Closure Inputs Diagrams on page 6).
  • Page 19: Serial Port Set-Up

    9600 baud (factory default setting) BAUD RATE SELECTION The CTL101 has a factory default baud rate of 9600 bps and can communicate at baud rates from 1200 up to 115,200. Note: The baud rate of the computer / A/V equipment must match the baud rate selected on the CTL101 (both the input and output port are set to the same baud rate).
  • Page 20: Terminal Emulation Parameters

    Package. ™ By default, the CTL101 is set up to accommodate most common terminal emulation programs. If the unit is not communicating properly (i.e. unwanted text / messages appear on the screen, double spacing occurs between menu choices, menu selections are followed by "error" responses, etc.), set the parameters to full duplex, no delimiter pause and no flow control, then check the emulation program set-up.
  • Page 21 A "Code Area is Full" message will appear after 120 characters have been entered. Note: If Delimiter Pause is selected, the CTL101 will pause for a response end delimiter or a one second timeout between commands in a string, allowing the controlled equipment time to process each command.
  • Page 22: Infrared Codes

    Once established, the unit will always power up in the last group selected. Group #1 Command Codes - allow users to run a single INLINE unit by using the same delimiters (the same beginning and end [ ] brackets).
  • Page 23 1. Remote Delay ON - for Single push 2. Remote Delay OFF - for Continuous push Users are now prompted to program the CTL101 for either single push operation (which repeats the code no faster than 2 times per second), or for continuous operation (to repeat the code 20 times per second while the button is pushed).
  • Page 24: Serial Port Control

    1. Baud Rate - allows users to change the baud rate. The new setting will become the default baud rate. The terminal computer baud rate must now be changed to communicate with (match) the CTL101. Note: Change the A/V equipment baud rates first, the CTL101 baud rate second, and the computer baud rate last.
  • Page 25: Delimiter Pause

    / or IR signal. If a contact change or an IR signal is sensed, the CTL101 will send an XOFF command to the computer (once a delimiter is received from the computer going to the equipment, or a one second timeout).
  • Page 26 1. Don’t Wait For Response - allows the CTL101 to deliver a command without receiving an end delimiter from the controlled equipment. In most instances this mode is used because it decreases the CTL101 response time (it does not have to wait for a response before the next command [button push] can be issued).

    CTL101 operation. The menu indicates the status of the unit as the system runs a self-check. All functions (SRAM, static memory, Flash, etc.) are tested and the CTL101 indicates whether or not the unit passed or failed.
