Up to seven function keys – SPEED, MODE, TIMER, SW1, SW2, LIGHT and OFF/MEMS – may be used on
the control panel of fan to access SC2128A to its full versatility. OFF/MEMS key input pin serves further as buzzer
output BUZZ pin. All key inputs are internally pulled-high in SC2128A.
SPEED key controls the fan speed. TIMER key adjusts off-timer. MODE key sets fan into various modes of
operation. SW1 and SW2 keys control the head swing of fan. LIGHT key toggles the LIT output ON and OFF.
OFF/MEMS key resets the fan to idle state when fan is ON. It starts fan into memory mode if pressed when fan is
OFF, provided memory option is enabled. LIT output is not affected by OFF key.
2. SPEED KEY
SPEED key is used to (1) turn on the fan (2) change speed of the fan. OFF/MEMS may also be used to turn on
the fan into memory mode, provided memory mode is enabled. SLEEP key my turn on the fan from remote
control handset. All the other keys can NOT turn on the fan. All the other keys, except LIGHT key, can NOT
operate until fan is turned on. The diagram shows the state transition of SC2128A for successive pressing of
SPEED key.

3. TIMER KEY
TIMER key is used to set time schedule after which SC2128A will automatically restore off
state(off-timer). When the fan is on, pressing TIMER key sets up the off-timer. Each pressing of TIMER
key increases the timer by one step. Each time increment step is determined by various timer options.
Either 0.5 or 1 hour per step may be selected, and either 3 levels or 4 levels timer may be selected.
Please see TIMER section for details.
MODE key is used to bring SC2128A around ORD
(ordinary wind) mode, RTM(rhythm wind ) mode, SLP
(sleep wind) mode and RSL(rhythm sleep wind ) mode. In
ORD mode, the wind speed is set by SPEED key and does
not change as time passes. In RTM mode the wind speed
cycles through three rhythm wind, patterns as set by the
SPEED key. In SLP and RSL mode, however, the fan
automatically steps down one level (strong to middle,
middle to low) every 30 minutes and keeps in low wind until
off-timer times out. Four modes of operation are described
in details later.
5. SW1 and SW2 KEYS
SW1 and SW2 keys control the output status of SO1 and
SO2 outputs which in turn control the head swing of fan.
Depending on the 2SW mask option, SO2 is controlled by
either SW1 or SW2 key. If 2SW option is selected each
pressing of SW1 key toggles SO1 ON(L) and OFF(Z) and
each pressing of SW2 key toggles SO1 ON(L) and OFF(Z).
If 2SW option is not selected, pressing SW1 key cycles
SO1 and SO2 output as shown in the diagram and SW2
key has no effect. 2SW option is described later.
6. LIGHT KEY
LIGHT key toggles LIT output on(L) and off(Z). LIT output can only be controlled with LIGHT key (from both
panel and remote control) and SLEEP key (if available) on remote control handset. OFF key does NOT affect LIT
output. LIT output is NOT affected by OFF key as well as off-timer times out.

7. OFF/MEMS KEY
OFF/MEMS key functions differently depending on whether the fan is ON or OFF. It functions as OFF key when
the fan is ON, and is used to bring SC2128A from any on state into off state. LIT output is NOT affected by OFF
key.When fan is OFF,it functions as MEMS (memory start) and is used to turn on the fan and set to the memory
mode, provided memory mode is enabled. Memory mode is explained later in the MEMORY MODE section.
8. INDICATOR LEDS
Up to twelve(12) indicator LEDs may be constructed on the control panel of fan built with SC2128A. Six(6)
LEDs are constructed as 3x2 LED matrix formed by COM and LED1, LED2, LED3. The other six(6)LEDs are built
in series with TRIAC outputs. The diagrams show how the LED matrix is constructed.
* Four LEDs (Tb0, Tb1, Tb2, Tb3) are used to indicate the off-timer period. Depending on the base timer step
option, timer step may be 0.5 hour or 1 hour as indicated in the diagram.

The time schedule is the sum of all ON LEDs. For example, if SC2128A is programmed with 0.5/1/2/4 hour
accumulated timer option, and is Tb0 is ON, Tb1 is OFF, Tb2 is OFF, Tb3 is ON, then the schedule period is 4.5
hours (0.5 hr + 4 hr).
* Rhythm LED and Sleep LED indicate SC2128A operation modes.
* Three LEDs – Low, Middle and Strong – are used to indicate the respective output status of LO, MI, ST output.
LED being ON indicates output active (L). LED being OFF indicates output inactive (Z). Only one output among
LO, MI and HI may be active at a specific time.
* Swing1 LED, Swing2 LED and Light LED indicated respective output status of SO1, SO2, and LIT.
The external timer of SC2128A may be bonding optioned into
six (6) configurations as shown. Each pressing of TIMER key will
step the internal timer one step up. The actual sequence
depends on the TIMER option selected. The following diagrams
show the timer sequence for each TIMER option. TIMER
automatically counts down as time passes by. The count down
sequence reverses the key sequence and is also shown in the
following diagrams.

10. RHYTHM WIND
SC2128Afeatures rhythm wind mode. It can be set into
rhythm wind mode by pressing MODE key. Furthermore,
there are three levels – strong, middle and low rhythm
wind. Pressing SPEED key cycles SC2128A around the
three levels, from low to middle, middle to strong, then
strong to low. Initial rhythm wind level on entering
RHYTHM wind mode is the same as the ordinary wind
level while leaving ORDINARY wind mode and entering
RHYTHM wind mode. The right diagram depicts the
strong, middle and low rhythm wind patterns.
In sleep wind mode, the wind speed steps down
automatically one level every 30 minutes, until it reaches
low wind level. If no off-timer is set, SC2128A keeps in
low wind level. Otherwise, it restores off state when
off-timer times out. To enter sleep wind mode, turn on
the fan by SPEED key first. Adjust to desired LO, MI, ST
wind speed. Press MODE key twice to bring SC2128A
to LOW, MIDDLE or STRONG sleep wind mode as the
LO, MI, ST wind speed set before entering sleep w ind
mode. Press MODE key in sleep wind mode forces
SC2128A to leave sleep wind mode and enter rhythm
sleep wind mode.
12. RHYTHM SLEEP WIND MODE
Pressing MODE key in sleep wind mode brings
SC2128A into rhythm sleep wind. In rhythm sleep wind
mode, SC2128A outputs LOW, MIDDLE or STRONG
rhythm wind pattern and automatically steps down one
level every 30 minutes until it reaches low rhythm wind
level. If no off-timer is set, SC2128A keeps in low rhythm
wind output. Otherwise it restores off state when the
off-timer times out.
13. MEMORY MODE
SC2128A features on-chip operation memory, in which operation state may be stored. OFF/MEMS key also
functions as a special MEMS(memory start) key. If this key is pressed when SC2128A is in off state, SC2128A is
activated into the operation mode stored in the operation memory. After power on, the operation memory is
initialized as follows:
middle speed, ordinary wind, none off-timer setting, SO1 and SO2 swing head outputs both
off, LIT output off.
Operation memory memorizes the following:
(1)
SPEED low, middle or strong,
(2)
MODEordinary, rhythm, sleep or rhythm sleep.
(3)
OFF-TIMER:off-timer setting,
(4)
SWING HEADSO1 and SO2 output state,
(5)

If the fan is turned on by SPEED key, subsequent adjustments to the fan operation either from pannel key or
from remote control handset do not affect the operation memory. If, however, the fan is turned on by MEMS, the
subsequent adjustments to speed, mode, off-timer, SO1, SO2 and LIT output will update the operation memory to
the final adjustments, regardless the adjustments are made from panel key or from remote control handset. One
exception is the SLEEP key available on the remote control handset. SLEEP key start or adjusts the fan to the
default sleep settings. Regardless the fan is started by SPEED or by MEMS, SLEEP key does not affect the
operation memory.
14. BUZZER OUTPUT
All valid key pressed except OFF/MEMS initiates a 150ms
duration 4kHz 50% duty cycle pulse train at OFF/MEMS/BUZZ
pin. OFF/MEMS key function as OFF key if pressed when fan is
in any on state. In this case, it does NOT initiate an output on
BUZZ. OFF/MEMS key functions as MEMORY-START key if
pressed when fan is in off state. In this case, it DOES initiate a
150ms duration 4kHz 50% duty cycle pulse train on BUZZ. Note
that when OFF/ MEMS/BUZZ outputs the pulse train, key input
is suppressed. That is, pressing OFF/MEMS key when the
buzzer is buzzing is NOT recognized by SC2128A. The
diagram right shows the buzzer connection.
15. REMOTE CONTROL DECODER
SC2128A is designed to be used together with SC2268 infrared ray remote control encoder. Such combination
allows up to 8 remote control keys – SPEED, MODE, TIMER, LIGHT, SLEEP, SW1, SW2, OFF/MEMS – to be
built on the remote control handset. 4 bits customer code, b3 ~ b6, is encoded by SC2268 and decoded by
SC2128A in order to avoid remote control contention between devices. With SC2268, b3 is determined by
bonding option; b4, b5 and b6 are determined by connecting respective c4, c5, c6 pin to V
SC2128A, b3 and b6 can be mask programmed upon customer request and with NRE.

The default customer code of SC2128A is internally mask programmed to b0 ~ b7 = 00110011. Code bit b3 ~
b6 may be mask programmed to any value according to customer specification under terms and conditions
agreed by SILAN. Suitable NRE is involved with customizing default customer code. Please refer to the following
table.
Up to eight keys may be built on the remote control handset. Except SLEEP key, all keys functions the same
as their panel counterparts. SLEEP key is not available on fan panel, and is only available on remote control
handset. Pressing SLEEP key brings SC2128A to the output states as follows:
