UPIC-5ZBS Infrared Universal Remote Control

Introduction

UPIC5-ZBS is a ZigBee Infrared Remote Control. It is designed to operate your home appliances by transmitting IR signal. The IR Remote Control is capable of learning IR signal transmitted from the appliance’s remote control. After learning the signal, you can remotely control the IR Remote Control via ZigBee network to send signal to appliance without using the remote control manually and support Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware update capability. The IR Remote Control utilizes ZigBee technology for wireless signal transmission. ZigBee is a wireless communication protocol that is reliable and has low power consumption and high transmission efficiency. Based on the IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of devices to be included in a network and coordinated for data exchange and signal transmission.

The IR Remote Control serves as an end device in the ZigBee network. It can be included in the ZigBee network to transmit signal upon activation, but cannot permit any other ZigBee device to join the network through the device itself.

System Mode (0x001C):

This attribute determines which IR signal to transmit when UPIC receives command from panel, according to the learnt in IR signal Type and Function.

UPIC can learn in up to 5 sets of IR Type, 8 signals for each type. When transmitting signal, the IR signal must be

specified with this attribute.

The format is 0xXY

7

X = Appliance Type (1~5)

Y = IR signal Number (1~8)

For example, if the UPIC has learnt in an IR signal at Appliance Type 1, IR signal 8, the panel should send command with attribute setting 0x18 for UPIC to transmit this signal.

Select Send IR LED (0x1011):

UPIC can control up to 5 types of appliances (Type 1 ~ 5) with its 6 IR LEDs. It can be configured to send IR signal with different LEDs using this attribute.

The Format should be read as following, using default value 0x2020202020 as example

0x20	0x20	0x20	0x20	0x20

0	0	1	0
LED 4	LED 3	LED 2	LED 1
Disable	Disable	Enable	Disable

0010 0010 in Bit number = 0x22 in Hexadecimal number, if you wish to apply this setting to Appliance Type 1 only and leave the other appliance type unchanged, the final attribute setting will be: 0x2220202020

0x22	0x20	0x20	0x20	0x20

You can use this attribute to program which LEDs should be activated for different IR Appliance Type IMPORTANT NOTE:

Although it is possible to set multiple LED transmission when sending IR Signal, please set NO MORE THAN 2 LEDs to be activated. The reason for such limitation is that for each extra LED activated, the power consumption will increase dramatically. If you activate more than 2 LEDs, the battery will be depleted in a much shorter time than is ideal.
