Programming the PCS-2
The following is for programming the PCS-2 to recognize 2 different IR codes from your remote
control. The first IR code will switch your PC on, and the second IR code will switch your PC
off. If you want to be able to switch your PC on/off with a single IR code, then simply program
the same IR code (ie same button on your remote) for both “on“ and “off“.
1. Select the button(s) on the IR remote that you wish to use for switching the PC on/off -- typically
button(s) not being used for anything else.
2. Connect the PC to AC power. If your ATX power supply has a switch, make sure that it is on.
3. Press the button on the PCS-2, and the PCS-2 LED should light.
4. While holding the IR remote at least 15” (38cm) away from the receiver and aiming at the receiver,
press the IR remote button that you want to switch the PC “on”. When the LED goes out, release
the remote button. The LED will re-light.
Repeat step 4 three more times.
5. After the above steps are completed, the LED will flash several times, then stay on. This indicates
that the first IR code is learned.
Now program the second IR code for switching the PC “off”...
6. While holding the IR remote at least 15” (38cm) away from the receiver and aiming at the receiver,
press the IR remote button that you want to switch the PC “off”. When the LED goes out, release
the remote button. The LED will re-light.
Repeat step 6 three more times.
7. After the above steps are completed, the LED will flash continuously. Press and hold the power
switch on the front of the PC until the LED turns completely off.
The LED should be off, and programming the PCS-2 is complete.
You can test the programming at this point by letting the PC boot completely, then pressing the button
on the IR remote that you selected for “off.“ This should cause the PC to shutdown/hibernate/standby,
depending on how your system is configured.
