4.19 IR: Ocelot (090002)
Hook up the Ocelot to the server with RS232. You can add one ADICON 2500 SECU16-IR module to
the system. This will give you up to 16 different IR ports.
You need to make sure you address your SECU16-IR module before you start. It needs to be
addressed as module 0. The addressing will probably happen automatically. If the expander module is
not working you must load the software that came with the Ocelot and click on “attach to controller”
and update the module. This update should happen with a message prompt.
You can use the C-Max Software that comes with the device to configure it. We recommend using
version 2.00 or higher. This is not required because EyeOn will configure the device for you.
Note from Ocelot
“Choosing the right IR code numbers is important: You can use IR codes in two ways with your
Ocelot: They may be learned to be reproduced later by the Ocelot, for the purpose of controlling
equipment under C-Max program control. IR codes can also be recognized by the Ocelot itself as
input events. This gives you one more way to interact with your controller and have it respond to the
IR codes to control devices in your home; be it X10, expansion modules, etc. If you plan on learning
certain IR codes for the purpose of having the Ocelot recognize them as input commands later, store
these in the lower numbered IR code locations. This is because whenever the controller receives an
IR command, it must search through its list of learned IR codes to look for a match, which takes time
and resources. To keep the search time reasonable, there is a controller parameter (parameter #20)
which allows you to specify the maximum code location number to try before giving up looking for a
match. By default this parameter is set to 80. If you need to recognize more then 80 codes, then
adjust parameter 20 to the appropriate higher value. Conversely, if you do not need to match that
many codes, then set parameter 20 to a lower number to speed up the processing of unrecognized
codes. Note: Do not use code location #0 if the code will need to be recognized by the Ocelot.”
EyeOn will automatically setup the parameter. Parameter #20 can be adjusted in the admin screen
under the IR
Set Ocelot parameter #18 to 1 (enable ascii tx on match)
Set Ocelot parameter #20 to the highest location to compare
