The Remote Control is very easy to use. It can control most of the functions of the Chromoflex RC. Only some special settings (like the 3 user-changeable colour changes, own colour maps, ...) can only be modified with the Chromoflex USB Dongle and the appropriate Software for PC. The range of the Remote Control is depending on the environment, indoor normally the reliable operation range is 20-50 mtr.

Chromoflex RC operates on a frequency of 868.3 Mhz (license free in EC, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland).

 

For a reliable transmission the Chromoflex RC therefore uses a 2-way transmission.
This means: the Remote Control listens for a reply of the Chromoflex RC!

 

Networking and wireless operation

If a group of more than one modules build one network, one module within the network should be set up as a Master module. Only the Master will communicate with the Handheld Radio Remote Control or the USB Dongle. But it will forward its settings (and its time base) periodically (all few seconds) or on a communication event to all other modules within the network.

 

A word about the range: The Radio Remote Control has a less stronger antenna (it is inside of the enclosure) than the Chromoflex RC modules or the USB Dongle. The range of the Radio Remote Control is therefore normally below the range of e.g. Master to other modules. To achieve a good range, we recommend to justify the antenna directly into the air. Dense materials (especially if close to the antenna) like stone, concrete and metal parts may reduce the range significantly. In case of weak signals, sometimes if often already helps, if the module is moved some cm.

 

Keypad configuration

All buttons on the keypad have multiple functions, grouped in different levels: In the top level the different effects and 20 predefined colours can be selected:

Top level:

COL+ / COL- select 20 predefined colours:
16 rainbow colours and 4 white colours (with different nuances).

 

PRG+ / PRG- select 12 different effects:
1.) Fixed Colour (last saved fixed colour)

2.) Normal Colour Change (all 8 colours of the standard colour table, 5 seconds per colour)

3.) Medium Colour Change (all 8 colours of the standard colour table, 20 seconds per colour)

4.) Slow Colour Change (all 8 colours of the standard colour table, 40 seconds per colour)

5.) Blob: Randomly uplighted/dimmed colours (from the 8 colours of the standard colour table)

6.) LSD: Randomly changing colours (from the 8 colours of the standard colour table)

7.) Fire: Simulation of a burning fire (red and orange)

8.) Flashes: Bright random flashes over a deep blue (looks very good with several Chromoflex RC)

9.) Bursts: Randomly selected, non-synchronised flashes (from the 8 colours of the standard colour table)

10.) User Program 1 (can only be modified with the PC software, pre-set: 8 colours with fast changing)

11.) User Program 2 (can only be modified with the PC software, pre-set: red-green-blue)

12.) User Program 3 (can only be modified with the PC software, pre-set: 3 uplighted/dimmed combined colours)

 

 

The 2nd level can be activated by pressing the button in the middle (SHIFT, at the same time with the other or first):

DIM+ / DIM- select the 8 level dimming. The dimming level is valid for all effects.

OFF switches off all modules in the network.

 

With SAVE+OFF all modules are switched off too, but all settings (dimmer, effect, fixed colour) are saved in the modules?s memory and will be recalled after power on.

If the modules have been switched off, pressing SHIFT will restore the last state.
