5.4 LCD panel address
Overview
• IR address
• Displaying and Programming IR addresses into the RCU
• RS232 address
• Controlling the Solaris LC40 with the RCU
5.4.1 IR address
Why a IR address ?
As more than one Solaris LC40 can be installed in a room, the separate Solaris LC40 should be separately addressable with an
RCU. Therefor each Solaris LC40 has its own address.
Set up an individual IR Address.
The set up of a LCD panel IR address can be done via the software.
Solaris LC40 controlling.
Every Solaris LC40 requires an individual address between 0 and 9 which can be set in the Service menu.
When the address is set, the Solaris LC40 can be controlled by the remote control:
If it is necessary to control a specific LCD panel, then enter the LCD panel address into the RCU (only when
that address is between 0 and 9). The Solaris LC40 with the corresponding address will listen to that specific
RCU.
5.4.2 Displaying and Programming IR addresses into the RCU
Displaying the LCD panel IR Address on the Screen.
1. Press the Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.
The Solaris LC40’s address will be displayed in a ’Text box’
To continue using the RCU with that specific address, it is necessary to enter the same address with the
digit buttons (address between 0 and 9) within 5 seconds after pushing
the address key. For example : if
the Address key displays LCD panel IR address 003, then press "3" digit button on the RCU to set the RCU’s
address to match the LCD panel’s IR address. Do not press 0–0–3 . This will address the remote control to ’0’
and control all LCD panels in the room. If the address is not entered
within 5 seconds, the RCU returns to its
default address (zero address) and controls then all LCD panels in the room.
5.4.3 RS232 address
WhyaRS232address?
As the Solaris LC40 can be controlled by a computer, the separate Solaris LC40 should be separately addressable. Therefor each
Solaris LC40 has its own address.
Set up an individual RS232 Address.
The set up of a LCD panel RS232 address can be done via the software.
Solaris LC40 controlling.
Every Solaris LC40 requires an individual address between 0 and 255 which can be set in the Service menu.
When the address is set, the Solaris LC40 can be contr
olled by a computer:
