"DESCRIPTION

The Watt Stopper’s Isolé IRC-1000 Remote Control System for Lighting, uses a multi-

function handheld transmitter for remote control of lighting.

The IRC-1000 can work with any lighting system to provide remote on/off control.

When used with electronic dimming ballasts utilizing a 0-10VDC control signal, it pro-

vides dimming control.

The handheld transmitters can be used to control ballasts individually, in groups,

and for universal control of all ballasts within its range. This allows individual area con-

trol with personal transmitters, larger area control with centrally located transmitters,

and universal transmitters set to control all the ballasts.

The system consists of an IRC-1 Control Module, a Receiver Cell, and a TH-6

Transmitters.

TH-6 Handheld Transmitter:

The TH-6 is a six button, multi-function infrared transmitter. With the push of a button

it can turn lights on or off, raise or lower the light level, or select the minimum or max-

imum level.

Receiver Cell:

The receiver cell is an omnidirectional, infrared receiver that mounts through a small

opening in the ceiling. It is connected to the control module with a provided cable. To

increase range of reception in large rooms, an additional receiver cell can be con-

nected to a control module with a splitter (supplied with individually ordered receiver

cells).

IRC-1 Control Module:

The control module is connected to one or more ballasts and controls on/off and dim-

ming functions of the lights based on the relayed signals it receives from the receiver

cell.

Power Pack:

A power pack is required to provide the control module with +24VDC power and pro-

vide a high voltage switch for on/off control of the lights.

Occupancy Sensors (optional):

When using occupancy sensors, the lights can turn off automatically after the area is

vacated and the set time delay elapses.

Note:

• When lights turn off automatically, they will turn on automatically when occupancy is

detected.

• When lights are turned off with a transmitter, lights must be turned on again with a

transmitter.

• If lights are turned on with a transmitter but no occupancy is detected by the sen-

sors, the sensor time delay is not activated and lights will not turn off automatically.

" ADDRESS SYSTEM

The IRC-1000 system features multi-level, programmable addressing. Addressing

allows transmitters to control only speciﬁed control modules: individually, in groups,

or universally. 64 unique address settings are available.

An Address is made up of two values: Channel & Group.

• 4 Channels—given as three-number spreads.

Channel 1,2,3

, Channel 4,5,6, Channel 7,8,9, and Channel 10,11,12.

Note: Other dial settings are possible, but the groupings above are recom-

mended to prevent conﬂicts from overlapping

addresses.

• 16 Groups—single numbers from 1 to 16.

Transmitters—1 address (changeable):

• Factory set to Channel 1,2,3 – Group 1 (default).

Control Modules—3 addresses:

• Primary and Secondary addresses (changeable):

Factory set to Channel 1,2,3 – Group 1 (default).

• Universal address (ﬁxed—not changeable):

Channel 10,11,12 – Group 16 (Universal control).

" ADDRESS PLANNING

Choose a unique address for each control module that should be controlled indepen-

dently. This value should be programmed as the primary address in the control mod-

ule, and in the transmitter associated with it.

If you wish to operate the modules in groups, assign another unique address to each

group to be controlled. This should be programmed as the secondary address in each

control module in the group, and in the group’s transmitter.

If universal control is desired, simply set the address of another transmitter to

Channel 10,11,12–Group 16.

Channel Group

1,2,3 – 5Address:

" SETTING ADDRESSES

Address settings are made by using the Channel and Group dials under the back

cover of the transmitter (refer to “Battery Installation in Handheld Transmitter” for

cover removal). Use a small screwdriver to make adjustments.

To set a Transmitter’s address:

• Set the Channel and Group dial to the desired settings.

To set a Control Module’s addresses:

The following steps use the setting dials on the transmitter to pro-

gram the Primary and Secondary addresses into the control module.

Note: Steps 4 and 6 must be completed within 30 seconds. If not,

the operation is completed automatically. If this happens while

attempting to set the Secondary address, it will automatically be set

to the same as the Primary address.

1. Use a transmitter to turn on all control module/receiver cell sys-

tems within range and line-of-sight. This can be done with a

transmitter set to the universal control address (10,11,12 – 16) if

needed.

2. Use a transmitter to turn off the control module/receiver cell system that is being

set. If the transmitter being used will control other control modules within line-of-

sight, shield the top area of the transmitter so that the infrared signal is directioned

only toward this control module’s receiver cell.

3. Press and hold the OFF button (“0”) on the transmitter for 15 seconds, until the

the lights turn on, then release the button.

4. Set the primary address on the channel and group dials, then press the OFF but-

ton again.

5. The lights will turn off for 5 seconds. This conﬁrms that the primary address has

been set.

6. Set the secondary address on the channel and group dials, then press the OFF

button again.

7. The lights will turn off and stay off, conﬁrming that the secondary address has

been set.

8. Set the channel and group dials to the desired address setting for the

transmitter, and replace its cover.

9. Test the transmitter for proper lighting control function by pressing its control

buttons.

" SETTING MINIMUM LIGHT LEVEL

Default level is 10%.

1. Press and hold the MINIMUM button for 15 seconds, until the lights turn off for 5

seconds. Release the button as soon as the lights turn off. After 5 seconds the

lights will turn on.

2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the minimum light level desired.

3. Press MINIMUM again. The lights will turn off for 5 seconds, then turn on. The

adjustment is complete.

Note: If the MINIMUM button is not pressed within 30 seconds, the current setting

will automatically be entered as the new minimum level. Lights will turn off for 5

seconds, then on again.

" TROUBLESHOOTING

No on/off or dimming control:

If the transmitter’s LED does not ﬂash when a control button is pressed, check the

battery.

1. Remove the back of the transmitter (see “Installation”).

2. Check that a 9VDC alkaline battery is installed correctly (see embossed diagram

in battery compartment).

If the transmitter’s LED does ﬂash when a control button is pressed (indicating that the

battery is ok), the transmitter may be set to the wrong address for the control module.

1. Remove the back of the transmitter (see “Installation”). Note the transmitter’s

address setting, then reset its address to the universal address (Channel

10,11,12–Group 16).

2. Press control buttons to see if the lights respond correctly.

• If yes, the transmitter was not set to one of the control module’s addresses.

Reset the transmitter and/or control module to the addresses for desired opera-

tion (see “Setting Addresses”).

• If the lights still do not respond.

- Make sure that the power is on at the circuit breakers.

- Check all connections to the control module (see “Wiring”).

- Check connections of the low voltage, Black, Red and Blue wires, from the

power pack (see “Wiring”).

- Using all proper precautions, check all high voltage connections to the power

pack and lighting system (see “Wiring”).

No on/off control, but dimming works:

This can happen if a signal wire input from an occupancy sensor is connected to the

blue signal wire of the power pack instead of the +SW input of the control module.

• The only wire that should connect to the blue signal wire of the power pack is the

control module’s signal wire output to the power pack (see “Wiring”).

• All occupancy sensor or other signal wire inputs must be connected to the control

module’s signal wire input connection; this is different than the connection made for

occupancy sensors without the IRC-1000 system (see “Wiring”).

Transmitter controls not functioning properly:

Check that addresses are set correctly. Insure that channel settings are correctly set

to either: 1,2,3

, 4,5,6, 7,8,9, or 10,11,12, only.

The wrong lights are being controlled by transmitter:

• Insure that the transmitter being used is the correct one for the lights being con-

trolled.

• Address settings may have been changed or are incorrect. Reprogram the neces-

sary transmitters and control modules for the control desired (see “Setting

Addresses”).

Lights ﬂicker at the low levels:

Some electronic dimming ballasts and tubes will ﬂicker at low lighting levels. In this

case, the minimum light level should be increased to just above the point at which the

ﬂickering stops (see “Setting Minimum Light Level”).
