PL-5 Remote Controller

User Guide

Introduction

held remote controller for use with the Allen & Heath PL-4 wall plate which is
equipped with an IR (infra-red) sensor. It has 14 user programmable buttons.
Typically, these would be programmed by the installer as a combination of
volume up/down, signal mute, source and patch select for convenient control
by the day-to-day operator. The button layout and markings suit most typical
applications. If required, the installer can create a custom label to adhere to
the controller surface. The PL-5 always sends out the same button codes. The
associated iDR function is independently programmed for each PL-4 wall plate
using the iDR System Manager software. This means that the same remote
can trigger different functions in different rooms. For example, the remote
could be used for local volume control of different zones in different rooms, or
select different sources in different rooms.
