4.3 Controlling Margay with Remote
You can control Margay with the remote control or with RS232 commands.
Remote control
The remote control projects a series of IR (infra-
red) pulses to the Margay for control. Aim the remote
control at the screen and press
MENU. The main menu
should be visible, if the lamp is on.
For a complete list of all remote actions, see
7.2 “Remote Control Buttons” on page 116.
Beeper
If Beeper is checked in the Miscellaneous menu,
the Margay will make a beep each time a remote but-
ton is pressed (and the Margay receives the signal).
If the Margay cannot perform the requested action,
it will beep three times, a triple beep. Triple beep will
happen whether Beeper is checked on not.
If the remote doesn’t work
• The batteries in the remote are dead or installed
wrong.
• The remote was not aimed at the screen.
• Something is blocking the IR receiver in the Mar-
gay.
• IR remote action was disabled by an RS232 com-
mand.
The remote control has a large spread of its IR
radiation. It is difficult from a distance to control only
one Margay in a wall. Step closer.
