PIXIEPLUS- AV Switch Controller

Room Pairing Steps

1. Remove Wall Plate (Flathead Screwdriver Needed)
2. Power the PixiePlus: the LED backlights will be illuminated
3. Enter Learning Mode: Gently insert a paper clip into the small hole labeled "insert paper clip to enter learning mode". The PixiePlus will remain in Learning Mode while the paper clip remains in the aperture. Removing the paper clip will return the PixiePlus to normal operation.

   *The Status LED will blink red while the PixiePlus is in learning mode. 

   *If the room is too bright, the PixiePlus will not enter learning mode. The LED
   will glow solid red, the buttons will beep continually when pressed, and they
   will not arm for learning. Darken the room or shield the PixiePlus from the
   ambient light while learning. Direct sunlight is always too bright.

4. Test Remote and Identify Sweet Spot: Position the remote control a few inches from the IR learning eye (upper right of PixiePlus front).                                                                            *Remotes are located in the building manager's office, find a remote that powers on the TV you are pairing. Test the remote on TV first.                                                                                                         When you press a key on the remote, the PixiePlus status LED should flicker. As you move the remote closer or farther from the receiver window or move off-axis the red flashes will dim and become intermittent. Find a position that consistently yields clear, regular blinking. This is the "sweet spot".                                                                                                                                        *If you do not see the Status LED flicker rapidly, your remote may need new batteries. 
5. To program a button with a single code: While the PixiePlus is in learning mode, press the button to be programmed to arm it. It should beep once and slowly blink.                                                  *If the button beeps loudly as soon as you press it, check if the Status LED is solidly lit. If it is, there may be too much light in the room. Reduce the ambient light level or shade the PixiePlus and try again.
   Hold the remote control in the sweet spot you found in step 4. Press and hold the button on the remote for about a second. The status LED should flicker, indicating that the code is being received. The PixiePlus will beep three times quickly to indicate successful learning. You may press a different button for learning at any time, including buttons that have already been programmed. If you press a button that is already armed for learning a second time, it will be disarmed.
   If the PixiePlus learns the code the button will begin flashing rapidly in VERIFICATION MODE. Go to Step 6, Verify Learned Keys.
   
6. Verify Learned Keys: If the PixiePlus is wired to control the display device before programming, you can verify each code was successfully learned immediately after programming it. Each button will remain in verification mode for 20 seconds before timing out. After learning, each button will blink rapidly to indicate that it is ready for verification. Press the button, and the PixiePlus will emit the code. The display device should respond appropriately.
   If the key is set to round-robin or macro mode, it will send the codes as configured.                          *If the button did not seem to learn correctly, press any other button on the PixiePlus,
   then press the target button again to rearm it, and repeat the learning procedure.
7. Repeat Step 4, 5, 6 for Each Button: While still in learning mode, program and verify each button
8. To Exit Learning Mode: Gently remove the paper clip to exit Learning Mode. Be sure not to hold any buttons while removing the paper clip, or the unit will be set to cloning mode.
9. Attach Wall Plate

Erase and Troubleshooting

To Erase All Buttons: Set the device to Learning Mode. Press and hold any two buttons to erase the PixiePlus. The whole keypad will blink, first slowly, then quickly. Then all buttons will go dark and the PixiePlus will beep four times, indicating that it has been erased. Once a device has been erased there is no way to unerase it.

Troubleshooting: If some buttons work but others do not, try re-programming the buttons that do not work. Enter Learning Mode. Make sure that you press the button on the remote for at least one second during learning. Fluorescent lights can interfere with IR signals.
