1. Introduction
1.1. Overview....................................................................
The irCUE wireless hand-held remote control panel is a compact infrared transmitter with a distinctive
black plastic / wood and stainless steel enclosure. Supplied in three versions of wood – mahogany,
white birch and oak and two versions of plastic, the irCUE is designed to blend even with the most
critical environments. Providing 33 dedicated buttons, the irCUE remote control is prepared to fit
perfectly in your hand. It is the ideal solution for the control of audio, video and lightning in
boardrooms, conference rooms and homes.
The irCUE Receiver 485 links IR wireless control panels to the CUEwire (RS-485). It is an infrared
receiving unit designed for ceiling mounting (similar to halogen lamps mounting). Using multiple IR
receivers within the unit, the irCUE Receiver 485 provides signal receiving in a horizontal level from all
directions.

use IR receiver built-in controllers (ipCUE-alpha, beta, delta, epsilon) or external unit irCUE Receiver
485 or receivers built-in keypadCUE-8-L, keypadCUE-8-E.
The example of irCUE, ipCUE controller and irCUE Receiver 485 configuration is described in the
picture below.

3. Charging
The irCUE wireless remote control panel is powered from internal LiOn accumulator
2000 mAh.
To charge the accumulators, use the delivered charging docking station with power supply adapter.
Connect the output jack from power supply adapter to the connector placed on the bottom side of the
docking station (see picture) and plug the adapter into power (110 – 230 V / 50-60 Hz). The charging
time for a fully charged accumulator is about 4 hours. Longer charging time is not dangerous because
the protection against overcharging is built in.
It is recommended to connect the irCUE to the docking station at the end of every day. Place irCUE to
the docking station also in case there is a lower range of the transmission or when the
backlight brightness is reduced.
Charging is indicated by the LED charging indicator placed on the front panel (see picture on the next
page).
RED light – accumulator is charging
GREEN LIGHT – accumulator is fully charged
If irCUE is not placed in the docking station and the charging indicator flashes RED every few
seconds, it means that the accumulator is going to be discharged. In such case, place irCUE to the
docking station.

6. Addressing
The BUTTON_ID transmitted by the panel is the LINK number used in the programming for button
identification. The value depends on the button position, on Fn button and on a panel ADDRESS too.
Default panel ADDRESS is 0. BUTTON_ID is calculated according a formula.
If Fn is not activated: BUTTON_ID= (64 * ADDRESS) + Button Code
If Fn is activated: BUTTON_ID= (64 * ADDRESS) + Button Code + 32
The Fn button changes the first and second function of each button. If Fn is not active, LED above Fn
button is switched off and there is no modification of BUTTON_ID (the button has its first function). If
Fn is active, the LED above Fn button is on and all buttons have their second functions (BUTTON_ID
is shifted by 32).
Every press of the button changes Fn activity. If Fn is active, after 1 minute it is switched off
automatically.
For example, button PLAY has the Button Code 1026. Panel ADDRESS is set to 0. If Fn is not
activated, the pressing of the PLAY button will generate BUTTON_ID: 1026. If Fn is activated, the
pressing of the PLAY button will generate BUTTON_ID: 1058.
For addressing with irCUE Receiver 485 see chapter irCUE Receiver 485 / Addressing.
The button codes are numbers from 1001 to 1032 and they are shown in the following picture.
User Manual irCUE

The ADDRESS of the panel can be set in the range 0 to 47. Default panel ADDRESS is 0, addresses
1 to 47 can be set up by the following procedure:
1. Undo four screws on the rear panel of irCUE and remove the rear cover plate.
2. Press the address button on the PCB. The backlight of irCUE is switched on now and Fn
LED is flashing.
3. Type a 2-digit address using the number buttons on the front side of irCUE (for example
for ADDRESS 0 press buttons 0 and 1) and then press ENTER.
4. If the address has been set correctly, all LEDs are switched off now.
5. If the address has not been set correctly, the color LED around navigation cross will start
flashing. In this case address has not been modified. Start again from point 2.
6. Mount back the rear cover plate of irCUE.
In the table below there are BUTTON_ID ranges for all addresses.
