The REMOTE CONTROL ID modeworks in conjunction with the Monitor ID, allowing control of up to 100 individualMultiSync monitors. For example: if there are many monitors being used in the samearea, a remote control in normal mode would send signals to every monitor at the sametime (see Figure 1). Using the remote in REMOTE CONTROL ID mode will only operateone specific monitor within the group (see Figure 2).TO SET REMOTE CONTROL IDWhile holding down the REMOTE ID SET button on the remote control, use the KEYPADto input the Monitor ID (1-100) of the display to be controlled via remote. The remote canthen be used to operate the monitor having that specific Monitor ID number.When 0 is selected or when the remote control is in normal mode, all monitors will beoperated.TO SET/RESET REMOTE CONTROL MODEID Mode - To enter ID Mode press the REMOTE ID SET button and hold down for2 seconds.Normal Mode - To return to Normal Mode press the REMOTE ID CLEAR button and holddown for 2 seconds.In order for this feature to work properly, the display must be assigned a Monitor IDnumber. The Monitor ID number can be assigned under the MULTI DISPLAY menu in theOSD (See page 23).Point the remote control towards the remote sensor of the desired monitor and press the REMOTE ID SET button. The MONITOR IDnumber is shown on the display when your remote control is in ID mode.Use the remote control to operate a monitor that has a specific MONITOR ID number assigned to it.1.

On the remote control, press and hold down the REMOTE ID SET button while using the keypad to input the REMOTE CONTROL IDnumber (1-100). The REMOTE ID NUMBER should match the MONITOR ID number of the display to be controlled. Choose “0” tosimultaneously control all displays in range.3. Point the remote control towards the remote sensor of the desired monitor and press the REMOTE ID SET button.The MONITOR ID number is shown in red on the display.If the REMOTE CONTROLID is “0”, then all displays in range will show their respective MONITOR ID number in red.If the MONITOR ID number is shown in white on the display, the MONITOR ID number and the REMOTE CONTROL ID are not the same.This LCD monitor can be controlled via personal computer or wireless remote control using an RS-232C connection.MONITOR ID and IR CONTROLUsing one PC or one infrared wireless controller, up to 100 individual LCD monitors can be controlled through a daisy chain via RS-232Cconnection.1. Connect PC and LCD monitors.Connect a PC’s RS-232C control output to the LCD monitor RS-232C input. You can then connect the RS-232C output from the LCDmonitor to another LCD monitor RS-232C input. Up to 100 monitors can be connected using RS-232C.2. Set Monitor ID and IR Control mode.For proper operation, the Monitor ID should be set in the OSD menu of each monitor that is in the chain. The Monitor ID can be set underthe “MULTI DISPLAY” menu in the OSD. The Monitor ID number can be set within a range from 1 to 100. No two monitors should sharethe same Monitor ID number. It is recommended to number each monitor in a daisy chain sequentially from 1. The first monitor in the daisychain is designated as the primary monitor. Subsequent monitors with the chain are secondary monitors.In the “ADVANCED OPTION” menu on the first monitor in the RS-232C daisy chain set the “IR CONTROL” to “PRIMARY”.Set the “IR CONTROL” to “SECONDARY” on all other monitors.Remote Control FunctionMonitor ID:1 Monitor ID:2 Monitor ID:3Remote doesnot workRemote doesnot workRemote worksRemote works Remote works Remote worksFigure 1Remote inNormal mode or theREMOTE ID is set to 0Figure 2Remote set up to useREMOTE ID:3Monitor ID:1 Monitor ID:2 Monitor ID:3
