7. Flasher Level Check
Your flasher levels should be tested and adjusted using an Niles IR Sensor connected to
the IntelliControl’s “Home Theater IR” port before programming begins.
Note: Test each flasher and its level one at a time, with all other flashers unplugged.
Connect the IR sensor and position it so that the component only receives IR commands
via the sensor (and not from the remote directly!). Adjust the flasher level until proper
operation occurs. If you have problems:
a. Test only one flasher at a time. The IR output from another flasher might make any
level adjustments you make faulty.
b. The sensor must be positioned so that an IR command can only reach the component
being tested via the flasher. Test by disconnecting the sensor and directing the
remote
control at the unplugged sensor. If the component still operates, move the sensor to
another location. If the component does not operate, connect the sensor and verify
that the flasher level is correct by issuing a continuous code (volume down, scan
etc.). Adjust the level until the component operates as it should.
c. The “TV” and “Flasher output #1” ports have twice the normal output when adjusted
the full output position in order that an IRC-1 Flooding Flasher can control a rear
projection TV that has an IR sensor built in behind the screen rather than on the front
panel. Note: When using projection televisions with the IR sensor located behind the
screen, best results will be achieved by opening up the TV and mounting an IRC-2
Microflasher to the IR sensor inside the TV.
