SR 3 SMART REMOTE OPERATORS MANUAL Quick Start Writing a Quick Start for the SR 3 is almost like writing a Quick Start for a Windows PC – it depends on what you want to do. Architectural look. Since Decora plates come in different colors, each SR 3 is shipped with 4 different color inserts for installation behind the lens (we ship them without an insert installed).
Wiring. Use CAT 5 cable with a minimum of 2 twisted pairs to connect to the SR 3. (The use of DOG 4 cable may cause random barking in high traffic areas.) Connect one twisted pair of wires to the “-V” and “+V” terminals – “-V” must connect to the power supply ground and “+V” must connect to +8 to +15 volts. Connect the second twisted pair of wires to the “A” and “B” terminals; “A” connects to the RS-485 “data +” connection and “B” connects to the RS-485 “data –” connection.

Working with Smart Remotes Smart Remote Overview Smart Remotes are configured within Drag Net 4 and higher. The following sections describe configuring the various parameters and modes for the remotes themselves. Details on assigning remotes to control parameters and functions with an RPM are found in Drag Net’s included Help file (Help > Help Topics). Creating a new Configuration Smart Remote configurations can be created as offline Storage files, for subsequent transfer to a Live remote.
SR 3 Configuration Parameters The SR 3 features a 31-position LED indicator, rotary data encoder with integrated push switch, and a 98 x 64 pixel monochrome LCD display with a programmable backlight. Up to 16 images (plus a Title Page) are stored locally in the SR 3 as bitmap pages and automatically recalled to correspond to different system modes. Create your own bitmaps (.bmp files) using a graphics program such as Microsoft Paint™, or use any of the images installed automatically with Drag Net.
When Update on Release is enabled, the SR updates its Page index when the encoder is released, rather than updating each time the encoder is turned. This feature allows users to scroll through and preview pages, select the Page they want, then release the encoder to trigger the action (for example, recall Preset on an RPM 88).
Working with SR 3 Bitmaps and Pages Creating Bitmaps Bitmaps can be created using any third party graphics program, such as Microsoft Paint™ or Adobe Photoshop™. To get started, a number of useful images are installed in the Program Files\Rane Corporation\SR\Bitmap directory. Images must be monochrome (1-bit), 98 pixels wide x 64 pixels high. It is possible to concatenate multiple images together to form a single, larger image.
Re-ordering Pages To move bitmaps between adjacent Pages: 1. Select the Page to be moved. 2. Choose Move Up or Move Down from the Edit menu - or Right-click on the Page and choose Move Up or Move Down. Move Up (CTRL - ) swaps bitmaps with the Page immediately above the currently selected Page. Move Down (CTRL - ) swaps bitmaps with the Page immediately below the currently selected Page. Only one Page at a time can be selected and moved.
Fonts Since the SR 3 supports displaying strings on the LCD display, two types of fonts are stored in read-only memory. The two types of fonts are text and symbol. The text font allows the host controller to send ASCII character strings to the display in three different sizes. The symbol font allows the host controller to send ASCII characters to the SR 3 that are displayed as simple icons in two different sizes.

Polling for Remotes Ethernet versus Serial Communication If Smart Remotes are connected to an RPM device, the RPM acts as a data bridge, allowing communication with the remote through the Ethernet connection to the RPM. Smart Remotes appear beneath the RPM device in the Live folder of the Project window.
Live to Storage Important: Transferring from a Live remote to an existing Storage configuration overwrites the Storage configuration. To transfer from a Live remote to a Storage configuration: 1. Toggle the Project Window on if it’s not already visible (View > Project). 2a. Drag and drop the Live remote onto an existing destination Storage configuration. - or 2b.
Updating Smart Remote Firmware It may be necessary to update a Smart Remote’s firmware in order to add features or address one of those pesky glitches that only seem to appear after the product’s been released. Remotes with the following firmware versions can be upgraded as new firmware becomes available: Remote With Firmware Version SR 2 2.0 and higher SR 3 4.0 and higher SR 4 1.0 and higher Older remotes may not be updateable, or updateable only by Rane.
SR 3 Wiring Guidelines Restrictions 24 AWG CAT 5 cable resistance = 26 ohms per 1,000 feet. There are two wiring restrictions. First, RW 485 has a maximum of 1,000 feet. The total length may not exceed this limit in any combination of series or parallel runs. Second, the voltage of the power supply also affects the maximum distance of each length between, and the number of Remotes.

SR 3 Communication Protocol The SR 3 communication protocol follows Rane’s RW 485 specification. The following describes the SR 3 implementation. Physical The baud rate is 38,400 bps with No parity, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit (N81) format. The SR 3 also supports 9600, 19200, 57600, and 115200 bps. When configuring Remotes used with Rane controllers (RPM 22, 44, 88), the RW 485 baud rate of 38400 bps is required. At the end of a command message, the Master must release the bus within 10 ms.
The SR 3 always returns its address switch setting plus $80. Note: Upon power-up of the SR 3, a status screen is displayed on the LCD display that reports the switch setting. In firmware version >2.1, the status screen also displays the firmware version and can be displayed any time by holding the encoder in for six seconds. The status screen is displayed until the encoder is released. This feature is not affected by the hardware lock, although it can be defeated by the software lock.
The controller sends commands/arguments for the SR 3 to process. This section of the message is limited to 250 characters for the SR 3. See the SR 3 Command Set section for details of valid commands. The SR 3 responds with response data based on the commands/arguments it was sent. The SR 3 limits its response data to 250 characters. In the case of an error, the response data is: n,"ERROR" where n is an error code defined below: Hex ASCII Error Code Meaning $31 '1' Sent invalid.
IR Input Raw n1,n2,n3,n4,"OK" IS n1,n2 Input Suggest n1,n2,"OK" ISR n1,n2 Input Suggest Raw n1,n2,n3,n4,"OK" IF n1,n2 Input Force "OK" * [ ] denotes optional Command Argument ** Responses from concatenated commands produce only one "OK" Configuration Commands V Get Firmware, Hardware Version Send: V Response: n1,n2,"OK" Where: n1 is a two digit ASCII encoded decimal value representation of the firmware version.
To read a stored parameter value: Send: SPL,n1 Where: n1 is the stored parameter index. Example: SPL,7 indexes the seventh parameter in the list which is the Auto Level parameter. Response: n1,"OK" Where: n1 is the value of the indexed parameter. Example: 1,"OK" means that Auto Level is enabled. To write a stored parameter value: Send: SPL,n1,n2 Where: n1 is the stored parameter index. n2 is the value to be stored.
BMP Display ROM based Bitmap Displays the specified read-only bitmap. See Appendix B for room combining images. Send: BMP,n1 Where: n1 is the bitmap index. Bitmap image 0 is the Rane splash screen and bitmap images 1-17 are the default images used to initialize pages 0-16. Bitmap images 18 to 41 are the room combining images. Example: BMP,1 transfers the ROM based image 1 to the LCD. Response: "OK" CLS Clear Screen Clears the LCD image data and resets the cursor position to (0, 0).
MC Move Cursor Moves the cursor to (x, y) location, where x is the x-axis location ranging from 0 through 97 (one pixel width) and y is the y-axis location ranging from 0 through 7 (eight pixel height). Cursor position (0, 0) is the lower left corner of the display. For a visual description, see Appendix A at the end of this document. Send: MC,n1,n2 Where: n1 is x-location ranging from 0 through 97 n2 is the y-location (or line number) ranging from 0 through 7.
The four bytes are: 03 or 0000 0011 69 or 0110 1001 3F or 0011 1111 2B or 0010 1011 For byte to pixel interpretation, see Appendix A at the end of this document. Response: "OK" STR String Displays a string using the current font starting at the current cursor location. Send: STR,"ccccc" Where: ccccc is the string of characters to be displayed Example: STR,"Hello World" displays the string: Hello World.
PS Page Select Displays the associated bitmap image on the LCD display. If either Auto Page is enabled (“Knob Push & Turn” or “Knob Bump”), the page index is updated as well. Page 0 is the user title page which is not accessible from encoder input. Pages 1-16 are accessible from encoder input. Send: PS,n1 Where: n1 is the requested page index. n1 ranges from 0 to 16. Example: PS,3 displays the page 3 bitmap image. If either Auto Page is enabled, the page index is updated to 3.
screen feature, bits 5 and 6 are don’t cares, bit 7 (MSB) is always zero. The acceptable range of the Software Input Lock byte is firmware version specific. For version 2.1 and later the range is 0 through 127. For version 2.0 and 1.1, the range is 0 through 7. For version 1.0, the range is 0 through 3. To read the Software Input Lock byte: Send: ILK Response: n1,"OK" Where: n1 is the Software Input Lock byte.
n4 is the length of time the encoder button has been pressed. The time the button has been pressed is in units of .01 seconds and the range is [0, 255] or 0 to 2.55 seconds. The button timer starts at the press of the button and is reset to zero when the button is released. Example: 1,2,32,100,"OK" means the current level is 1, the current page index is 2, the encoder has been pushed in and turned clockwise, and the button has been held in for 1 second.
n2 is the suggested new page index. The page index range is [0, 16]. If n2 is [0], the page remains unchanged. Use the PS command to force page [0]. Example: ISR,3,5 suggests a new level of 3 and a new page index of 5. Response: n1,n2,n3,n4,"OK" Where: n1 is the current level. The level range is [1, 31]. n2 is the current page index. The page index range is [0, 16]. n3 is the current command state byte. The command state byte represents the state of the encoder.

ily defeated by the software lock. The only way to defeat the Rane splash screen feature is by the software lock. See the ILK command in the SR 3 Command Set section for details. 9. This parameter sets the baud rate of the device. When this parameter is changed via a RW 485 message, the response is sent at the current baud rate, then the baud rate is updated to the new baud rate specified by the value sent. The default setting of 38400 is required for use with Rane controllers (i.e., RPM 88/44/22).
Get LCD Image Example This example first selects page 0 to display the target image to upload. The SR 3 limits its size to 250 characters, so image data must be requested a line at a time. The Move Cursor and Hex Data Read commands are concatenated. The image data is represented in ASCII hex so there is a two character representation for each byte of data. The encoder is locked out before the data requests to prevent someone changing the display during an upload.
Send LCD Image Example The SR 3 limits its size to 250 characters, so image data must be sent a line at a time. The Move Cursor and Hex Data Send commands are concatenated. The image data is represented in ASCII hex so there is a two character representation for each byte of data. This example writes the image to page 0 after the download. The encoder is locked out before data transmissions to prevent someone changing the display during a download.
Appendix A - SR 3 LCD Format The SR 3 display is a 98 by 64 pixel LCD. The display is divided into 98 columns by 8 lines of bytes. The cursor X-position is in the range [0,97] and the Y-position is in the range of [0,7] which is denoted below. The byte format is MSB = top, 1 = black, 0 = gray. For example, the byte at cursor position (0,0) is $55 = 01010101, see the figure below.
