IMPORTANT

FIRST

1. Read next pages about triggers and actions, so you understand the relation.

2. Download and install Configurator.

3. Insert your license related email and password from your customer profile.

4. Connect ComCab cables.

5. Open comport in Configurator.

Then

6. Apply power to your product.

7. Make sure you understand the difference between the

Step 1, CommandList and
Step 2, Memory Map

FAQ:

Our products are designed to work as standalone products with the possibility
of controlling other products by for example infrared, RS232 or relays.

Therefore a USB connector is not very useful in our products, as USB require
that the product is connected to a computer only and we would not be able to
control TV’s, projectors, light systems, relays, etc. etc.

It is strongly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the technical
manual of the product and the dedicated manuals for CommandList and
Memory Map.

See http://lintronic.dk | Support | Get started.

Triggers

Actions

Triggers and Actions

Our products are controlled by Triggers, which causes Actions to be executed.

- A remote control command (Bang&Olufsen, Apple, Bose, LinTronic, Logitech, NEC, Samsung, etc.)

- A computer command (RS232 comport working on 2400 - 38400 bps)

- A switch, contact, relay, motion detector, etc. - connected to one or both of the 2 digital inputs

- An activation of the buttons, on the external receiver 8087030

- A 433 MHz signal from a remote control, motion/door/windows sensor, etc.

A Trigger can be for example:

Actions can be for example:

- InfraRed and/or RS232 signals for audio/video products, projectors, screens, curtains,
blinders, shades, light systems, relays, fireplaces, elevation beds, computer, etc.

- Digital or relay outputs for various purposes like relays, data-interface etc.

- 433 MHz signal controlling relays, doorbells, etc.

Triggers and Actions

The way you instruct your product on how to be Triggered and what Actions to control, is by setting up
a project which combines the Triggers and Actions.

STEP 1 - COMMANDLIST / ACTIONS

Before you start configuring your product to carry out what you want it to do, you need to get hold of the
commands (Actions) to be carried out. These commands (Actions) are collected in the CommandList.

In the CommandList you can use commands from the built-in database, which are commands shared by
other users uploading their commands to the online database.

If your product is not already covered/supported/shared, then you can copy commands from your own
remote control. If commands cannot be decoded, we can build a new decoder.

We kindly ask you to upload these commands to our database later, when you have tested they work.

RS232

If your product can be controlled by RS232 commands, (more and more screens, projectors, light systems,
etc.) then it is recommended to use RS232 instead of InfraRed, as InfraRed (IR) is much easier disturbed
than RS232.

RS232 requires a cable from the RS232-connector of the product.

In case you want to control another product by RS232 commands, and we do not have the required
commands, then we must embed the commands into the firmware for the product and we provide you with
a set of virtual commands which will generate the commands.

RELAYS

We support both wired and wireless relays, as well as relays controlled by RS232.

CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS

We often participate in development of special firmware which will allow our product to carry out your
specific tasks. We work fast and our prices are very attractive.

STEP 2 - MEMORY MAP

The Memory Map is where you select your Triggers and associate them with the Actions to be carried
out.

When the right comport is found there is no need to enter the Commport section again. The program
will/should remember the settings next time you start up.

Up to 32 products may work together in an industrial long-range 2-wire RS485 network.

If your product is still not detected:

- check that power supply is connected and set for 12 volt

- Products blinks for 2 seconds when power is applied

- If you use our USB-RS232 ComCab-002/003 cable, did you install the driver ?

- A driver update might be required.

Still no luck ? Contact LinTronic for OnlineSupport.

Step 2 - CommandList

THIS IS WHERE YOU TEST COMMANDS/ACTIONS SO
YOU KNOW THEY WORK. THEN GOTO MEMORY MAP.

Update your database to get the latest commands uploaded
by other users.

Select a product closest to one of your products.

If you can find another typenumber than yours it will most
likely work.

- take it easy - start by testing a few commands

- start with a TV or a CD player

- test play, stop, power or eject

When you know how to handle a few commands you are
ready to move on - as everything is done exactly the
same way.

Mark a product as Favorite if you want to use it a
configuration project.

NEVER UPLOAD COMMANDS UNLESS YOU
HAVE TESTED THEM IN A PROJECT AND THEY WORK.
OTHERS USERS DEPEND ON YOU.

Step 3 - MEMORY MAP

THIS IS WHERE YOU CREATE A PROJECT HOLDING
YOUR CONFIGURATION.

SPECIFY MODE/TRIGGER - SELECT RELATED ACTION.
THAT’S IT.

If you use a B&O remote, then insert the B&O receiver and
use the remote to set MODE and TRIGGER.

START SIMPLE !

Start by controlling a CD player (play, stop, eject) or
a TV (power on/off, channels, volume).

When you know how this works - you can virtually do all.

This is where you specify how your Triggers activate the Actions.

TRIGGER ( Incoming signals )

ACTION ( Outgoing signals )

A Trigger can for example be:

- an InfraRed (IR) signal from your remote control (Apple, Bang&Olufsen, Bose, NEC etc.)

- the activation/release of a switch or sensor connected to one of the two digital inputs

- an RS232 command from a computer or another type of controller

An Action is for example:

- one or more InfraRed (IR) signals for your products (audio/video, light, curtains, aircon etc.)

- an RS232/RS485 command for your computer, projector, lcd/plasma screen,light, etc.

- a LinTronic bus-command for individual or broadcast control for up to 32 TT455-T-238's

For transmission of infrared signals, the TT455-RT-238 includes a:

PROGRAMMABLE 3-CHANNEL IR DISTRIBUTOR

This means you can specify where you want the infrared signal to be transmitted:
On the low-power output 1 and/or on the low-power output 2 and/or on the high-power front
booster.

The high-power wide-angle dual-band front IR booster, will reach most if not all products in the
same room. If you place the TT455-RT-238 on top of a cabinet, then the low-power outputs can
reach products inside the cabinet, by means of the low-power emitters TT-IT-ET02.

Ports (RS232)

For transmission of RS232 signals, the TT455-RT-238 includes a:

PROGRAMMABLE 2-CHANNEL RS232 DISTRIBUTOR

This means you can specify where you want the RS232 signal to be transmitted:
On comport 1 (pin 7-8) or on comport 2 (pin 2-3).

You can use both RS232 ports to control your products.

The TT455-RT-238 can be placed on top of a cabinet and you can connect RS232 kables to for
example a TV, a projector, an amplifier, etc.

Comport 2 is used by the TT455-RT-238 when communicating with the computer, while being
configured. After being configured, you disconnect power to the TT455-RT-238. When
repowered the TT455-RT-238 is ready to control/monitor your RS232 product on this comport.
