URC-2
PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE CONTROLLER
INTRODUCTION
The URC-2 is a highly sophisticated learning remote, capable of storing single
or macro IR commands on each of 8 banks (or layers) of 48 keys. Unlike most
learning remotes, the bank (source) keys, in addition to selecting the desired
source, are capable of storing macro commands. This permits an immediate
response of the source or system to a single key press. The URC-2 will send
any required number of commands in sequences (macros) from any desired
key for control of extensive A/V systems (limited only by memory). Lighted
keypad panel comes on with any motion or key press and, to conserve batteries,
goes off after 6 seconds of inactivity. The lighted panel can also be deactivated
(and reactivated) at will, to further extend battery life.
FEATURE SUMMARY
The needs of the professional A/V installer were seriously taken into consider-
ation in the design of the URC-2, as the following features list will attest.
However, its ease of programming for basic A/V systems makes it well suited
for small systems as well.
• 8 Source (bank) keys with LED status indicators.
• Programming & battery condition LED indicator.
• 40 Function (operational) keys.
• All 48 keys illuminate for ease of night viewing.
• Auto wake-up with motion always lights up the last active Source LED.
• Auto sleep & wake-up of keypad lighting conserves battery power.
• Programming can be accomplished on the unit itself or by using Xantech's DD4 Dragon Drop-IR™
Windows
®
based PC program (optional).
• COM Port (RS232 compatible) permits cloning of programmed contents to other URC-2's. It also permits
transfer of programming from DD4 Dragon Drop-IR™ (optional).
• Programming system is similar to Xantech's Smart Pad
3
keypads.
• Programming functions include; single or sequenced (macro) commands, delays, delete and step editing
(with insert and delete).
• Additional advanced functions available only with optional DD4 Dragon Drop-IR™ software include;
tiering, cursor shift, punch, copy, paste, changeable code groups, adjustable sleep timeout, bank track
programming and PC back-up of programmed contents. Also, a Smart Pad
3
project may be dumped to
a URC-2 and the easily carried URC-2 then used to download the project to all desired Smart Pad
3
's in
the various rooms.
• Super Cap back-up preserves memory (for more than 8 hours) when changing batteries.
