Important: If polarity of the infrared receiver is reversed, receiver and Chromoflex module can be
damaged!
Infrared-Remote-Control - Operating
In general most universal remote control can be used, whereas only 6 keys are used. The small
„Zapper“ from OFA is a popular model and can be used without any further settings. Other models like
the „Promo 8“ require a setting as Philips device (for Promo 8 this is code 0060):
The 4 large buttons on the remote control are equivalent to the 4 „standard“ buttons (see first page,
(„+“ is button 1, „Right“ is button 2, „-’ is button 3, „Left“ is button 4).
Additionally the „Off“-button can be used to switch off all Chromoflex modules.
By pressing the small button in the middle („PRG“ or „Mute“), the programming mode is entered. At
first all modules are stopped, so the current colour will remain. With buttons 2 and 4 („Right“ and
„Left“) the active colour can be set (the active colour will blink while button 2 or 4 is pressed). Now the
active colour (as component) can be changed in 8 steps. The colour of the receiving module will be
transmitted to all other modules in the network, hence giving a homogenous colour for all modules.
The programming mode can only be left by pressing the „Off“-button!
Hint: Try to set up the colour „white“: White consists of 100% green and about 30-50% of Red and
Blue (depending on the used LEDs).
A Pool-Scenario
In this last paragraph we will describe a small „real world“ example:
Let’s assume you would like to illuminate a pool with several Chromoflex modules, but without using
any PC software or network:
The lamps are separated into 3 groups:
