programmable and works either individually or together. The programmable control
panel is built in the programmable 3 RS232, 1 RS485, 3 Infrared & 2 Relay, and 1 mini
USB for programming.
Please notice, RS232 (1) and IR2 share the same port, cannot be used at the same
time. Also, RS232 (2) and IR3 share the same port, cannot be used at the same time.
It can fully control our product, as well as third party devices such as projectors,
screens etc. It is an easy-to-use control device for presentation show rooms,
classrooms and boardrooms.
1.1 Features
Every button can be programmed to send the bi-direction RS232 and RS485
commands simultaneously to control third party devices.
Every button can be programmed to send the infrared code, control the relay, to let
them work simultaneously to control the third party devices.
Every button is built in the infrared code and RS232 code learning function, and
baud-rate setting.

① Power connector: 12VDC. Be sure that the “+” and “-” never be mixed or
wrong connection.
② Low-Voltage relay ports: set the relay on/off by software PS-WP.
③ This port includes: RS232 (1)/IR2, IR1 and RS485.
RS232 (1)/IR2: share the same port, the detailed use depends on the setting
of PS-WP. When be used as RS232, it is unidirectional transmission, transmit
data but without receive.
IR1: for control other devices, it can be programmable by the PS-WP.
RS485: the RS485 can be programmed as different commands and control
the device with RS485 port. The command of RS485 is the same as RS232
(1).
④ This port includes two parts:
One part is RS232 (2)/IR3, it can be used for control other devices or looping
output. RS232 (2) and IR3 share the same port, the detailed use depends on
the setting of PS-WP.
Other part is RS232 (3), it can be used for control other devices or looping
output, or connect with PC.
These two parts share the same grounding.
