Overview
ThePM1122Pre‐ampcanberemotecontrolledbythePM1122‐INT.ThePM1122‐INTcanbe
controlledin3differentways:
•UsingRS‐232
•Usingthecontactstorecallpresets
•UsingtheoptionalRFmodule
ForcontrolusingtheRS‐232port,thePM1122‐INTacceptsstringsofASCIIcharacterstocontroland
readsettingsofmusiclevel,microphonemixlevelandtheinputselectorofbothzones.Further,the
RS‐232portwillhavetobeusedtostorepresets,adjustminimumandmaximumlevelsettings.
Stringscanbesentviathird‐partysoftwarelikeHilgraeve’sHyperterminalorthefreewareutility
“HerculesSETUPutility”fromHW‐group.

Forpresetcontrolusingcontacts,it’sneededtostorethepresetsusingRS‐232.Itcanbedoneusing
terminalsoftware(Hyperterminal,Hercules,...)orwiththeAPartPM1122ControlPanelsoftware.
PleasenotetheAPartsoftwarerunsonlyonWindows®platforms,it’sfreelydownloadablebutno
supportorguarantiesaregiven.
Oncethepresetsarestored,noRS‐232communicationisneededanymore.Refertothechapter
Presetsformoreinformation.

ForcontrolusingtheoptionalRFmodule,noconfigurationwithRS‐232isneeded.Oncethemodule
ismounted(seechapter“Easywave”onpage9),thepushbuttonsatthefrontsideareenoughto
assignaswitchtoazone.PleasenotetherearesomefeatureswhichcanbeconfiguredusingRS‐232
butfornormaloperation,it’snotneeded!

AnoptionalEasywavereceivermodulecanbemountedinsidethePM1122‐INT.Toinstall
thisreceiver,pleasecarefullyremovethetopcoverandslidethemoduleinplacelikeshown



Oncethismoduleisinstalled,aneightbuttonRFswitchcanbeassignedtoazoneofthePM1122.



4buttonsnamedAtoDareusedforselectingthesourceortorecallapreset.Bydefault,these

AssigninganRFswitchisassimpleaspushingthe“Learn”buttonfromthecorrespondingzone(x)
andthenpushanybuttonsoftheRFswitchwithin5seconds.IncasethePM1122‐INTisinaless
