1. Introduction
Welcome to the world of full HF remote controlling of show light!
The ADB HF remote control system HF Remote system allows you to remote control any
ADB VISION 10 desk from wherever you are in your show venue: on stage, in the
auditorium, during the rigging on ladders, trusses etc.! This very compact and light
weight hand-held remote control unit offers you all the comfort to remote operate the
most important functions on your lighting desk:
selecting individual lighting channels
selecting pre-recorded memories and groups of channels
operate playback submaster 1
switching all channel sources off (Black-Out)
re-playing pre-recorded macros
A user friendly software menu helps you to adjust and personalise specific operating
parameters
password
display back-lit on/off
key operating mode (direct / command line)
operation room id number
product id number
device auto sleep mode
A back-lit 4 x 16 character display on the hand-held terminal informs you about the
introduced key sequences in order to keep control over operations that can be
performed with 25 keys and over 40 different desk operate functions - and this during
an operating period of up to 12 hours with one battery charge cycle!
The GSM size hand-held system is very easy to handle and allows fast and intuitive
access to a huge variety of key desk functions to allow you to work efficiently on your
lighting show. After a quick start tour that briefly describes how fast to access the basic
lighting functions, you will find in the following chapters how to access the whole range
of desk command functions and how to personalise the system to your specific needs.
Technical data and a trouble shooting summary should help you to safely install the
system.
2. Unpacking - Delivery
Upon delivery of your equipment, open the packing carefully and examine the material.
If you observe any damage, contact the shipping company immediately, and have your
complaint duly recorded. You may rest assured that your equipment left the factory in
perfect condition.
Check whether what you have received is in conformity with the delivery notice, and
whether the notice is in conformity with your order.
In the event of any error, contact your shipper immediately to clarify the situation and
receive full satisfaction.
If you find nothing wrong, replace the material in the packing and store it in a warm place,
away from dust and humidity, whilst awaiting final installation.
Never leave the material on the worksite under any circumstance

3. Generalities - Safety
The equipment is built in accordance with European safety standards and requires
imperatively a safety earth connection in compliance with local regulations.
To prevent any risk of electric shock, do not remove any cover or part of the enclosure.
Access to internal parts is not required for normal operation.
Refer servicing to skilled and trained service personnel exclusively.
Disconnect from the power supply prior to opening for inspection or service.
Connection to any inappropriate power source may irreversibly damage the equipment,
it is the user's responsibility to use the equipment for its intended purpose and to check
the equipment connected to it.
To obtain full benefits of the safety measures, the equipment shall be installed and
serviced by skilled and trained personnel exclusively.
Don't make any modification to the equipment.
ADB shall not accept any liability for material damages or injuries which may result from
unauthorised modifications.
Important Notice for Power Cables
Power supply cables and connectors are an important part of your equipment and
contribute to its safety.
always use original power supply adapters only! Using any other psu may cause
irreversible damage to the unit.
always use an isolator, main circuit-breaker or main fuses to interrupt the link;

4.1.2. Installation with one HF Receiver
The point-to-point communication with one hand-held sender and one receiver is very
straight forward: just plug in the receiver’s RS232 data cable in VISION 10’s serial
communication port and connect the external power supply unit to the receiver’s
SUB-D connector. Power supply will be distributed over the cable from the serial line
connector to the HF receiver.
com port
4.1.3. Installation with more than one HF Receiver
This configuration permits to extend the operating range to more than 50-80 meters by
interconnecting up to 4 HF receivers. For technical communication reasons, a separate
standard PC with a 32 bit WINDOWS„ version and a RS232/485 protocol converter have
to be installed between the control desk and the HF receivers. The PC must have two
serial ports and runs the Satellite Control Center software SCC. For a detailed operation
manual for the software package refer to the special chapter “Satellite Control Center
software”.

Rev. : 002
HF - VISION 10 & PHOENIX
Lighting Technologies
The different receivers are cabled via their T-connector boxes with a special SYSNET
cable. No connectors are needed as the cables directly run into the T-boxes where they
can be screwed into terminal blocks.
A RS485/232 converter allows the receivers to be connected to a standard serial RS232
communication port of a PC. The PC takes over all communication between the different
devices, and sends the commands via an RS232 NULLMODEM cable to the lighting
desk.

4.2. Software
The HF remote control system does not need a special and complicated configuration.
All you need to run the system on the control desk is
•a desk software version 2.62
the remote control option (Infra Red) checked ( = ON) in the menu
CONFIGURATION, PERIPHERALS
If nothing else is specified, your system automatically by the default factory settings runs on
- RS232 serial communication port 1(normally located besides the floppy drive)
- Room ID 1 (see also: further explanations below)
- Product ID 1 (see also: further explanations below)
If these settings shall be changed on your control desk system, create a DOS file
hf.cfg in the path c:\vision10\
containing the following parameter settings:
Example: system connected to 2nd serial communication port, room number 2
and product identification number 1 (VISION 10)
ComPort= 2
RoomId = 2
ProductId= 2
The parameters
ComPort can contain the values 1 or 2
RoomId can contain 1 - 16
ProductId can contain 1 - 16
To obtain further information concerning the parameters ROOMID and PRODUCTID,
see in chapter MENU in the following.

You can select between two different operating modes:
- direct
any key code is directly sent to the receiver. You do not have to confirm an
operation before it is sent to the receiver
- command line mode
any key that has to be sent to the receiver is first stored in an internal buffer and is
only sent to the receiver when the key SEND is used. Thus, complete key
sequences can first be set up and then transmitted.
The symbol on the left of display points to the selected operating mode that is currently
active (DIRECT in the above shown example).
Default is 'direct' mode. Toggle between the two modes by using the keys 'up' and

As HF signals can easily pass through walls, and as two different rooms can be located
very close to one another, every room can be allocated its own virtual room number
between 1 and 16. A user operating a hand-held transmitter being set to room number
1 cannot operate in a room where a VISION 10 system is set to any other room number.
Using this function should avoid accidental blind operations to beneighboured rooms.
You can select the number between 1 and 16 by using the keys 'up' and 'down'.

This sub-menu is used to enter a user password which can be a combination of figures

Attention!
Please, handle this function with care! Using the password to protect the device against
improper used by unauthorised users may be efficient on the one hand.
On the other hand it may cause problems when you are obliged to often change the
password.
If currently any password selection is active, you first have to type in your current
password of up to 4 digits (0-9). The equivalent of no password is "0000" (four zeros).
If no password is selected, the password procedure is skipped after the switch-on
procedure. Keys that are pushed are not shown on the display but replaced by a star
symbol in order to avoid other unauthorised users to see on the display the figures typed
in.
If your current password was not entered correctly, the introduction procedure re-starts.
If your current password is entered correctly, a new password can be introduced.
