PS-011 MANUAL
1. INTRODUCING THE PS-011
With the PS-011 programmer it is now possible to program different product lines of ALCAD equipment
using wireless communication. This is an advanced programmer with a simple user interface. As well
as an infrared connection, it is equipped with aUSBport for connecting amemory stick or an SD card
reader. Moreover, the programmer runs on batteries which are rechargeable using an external power
supply.

3.1. Charging and Changing Batteries
Before turning on the remote for the first time, make sure that the rechargeable batteries are positioned
correctly. When you have done this, connect theprogrammer to themains supply and leave it connected
until acomplete charging cycle has been completed.
During the charging process, the icon of abattery being charged will appear on the screen and the LED
located nextto thepowersupplyconnectorwill remain lit up.Whenthebatteriesarecompletelycharged,
the LED will blink and the icon of afully charged battery will appear on the screen.
The rechargeable batteries supplied with the programmer are charged using the DC charger which is
also supplied with the PS-011.

ThePS-011programmerwill workwhenconnectedto themainssupplywhetherthebatteriesare installed
or not. Note alsothat if thebatteries of theprogrammer run down and you do not haveaccessto a230V
plug, you can use AA alkaline batteries instead. You must bear in mind, however, that the autonomy of
this type of battery may be considerably reduced.

4.3. Series Management
The PS-011 programmer makes it possible to program different types of modules. ALCAD modules are
distributed in series, depending on the family of products to which they belong. To keep them up to date
and to manage them more easily, series can be added and deleted in accordance with the requirements
of individual clients. (For more details, seePROGRAMMING OF DEVICES)
4.4. Language
4.4.1. Selecting aLanguage
To change the language used by the programmer, in the Main Menu choose Configure PS
programmer, then choose the option Select language. The PS-011 comes with three languages

5. COMMUNICATIONS
5.1. Infrared Communication
ThePS-011hastwotypesof protocolforinfraredsso thatit cancommunicatewithbotholderdevicesfrom
the ALCAD range (compatible with this technology) and more recent devices which useIrDA technology.
It must be borne in mind, however, that IrDA technology enables communication that is faster and more
advanced in nature; consequently agreater quantity of data can be sent. On the other hand, it must be
pointed out that it has agreater directivity in communication, an important factor since it means that it
is essential to aim directly and with precision at the infrared receiver for communication to take place
properly.

IrDA
5.2. USBCommunication
Thismakes it possible to connect external USBmemory devices as supports:
-to save and load configurations of equipment and installations;
-to load new languages not installed in the programmer;
-to update the PS-011 programmer software.
5.3. SD Card Connection
Thisenables the connection of SD cards to be used as supports:
-to save and load configurations of equipment and installations;
-to load new languages not installed in the programmer;
-to update the PS-011 programmer software.
