1. Introduction
1.1. Overview....................................................................
The irCUE 99 and irCUE wireless handheld remote control panels are compact infrared transmitter s
with a distinctive wooden and stainless / metal steel enclosure. The irCUE 99 is supplied in four
versions of wood – mahogany, birch, white birch and oak. The irCUE 99 is designed to blend with the
most critical environments. Providing 32 backlight buttons, the irCUE 99 remote control is designed to
fit perfectly in your hand. The irCUE remote control is designed to fit perfectly in your hand and
provides 25 buttons supported with backlight and programmable functions. It is the ideal solution for
control of audio, video and lightning in boardrooms, conference rooms and homes.
The irCUE Receiver is an infrared receiving unit designed for ceiling mounting (similar to halogen
lamps mounting). Using multiple IR receivers within the unit, the irCUE Receiver provides signal
receiving in a horizontal level from all directions. With direct connectivity to the Assistant or Assistant-
S control units, it is possible to connect up to 10 receivers to a single control unit.
The irCUE Receiver 485 links IR wireless control panels to the CUEwire (RS-485). It is an infrared
receiving unit designed for ceiling mounting (similar to halogen lamps mounting). Using multiple IR
receivers within the unit, the irCUE Receiver 485 provides signal receiving in a horizontal level from all
directions.

2. Using
The irCUE 99 and irCUE are connected to the rest of control system via IR communication with the
unit irCUE Receiver or irCUE Receiver 485. The receivers then provide a connection via IR input or
via CUEwire to the control units Assistant or Assistant-S.
The example of irCUE 99 and irCUE Receiver 485 configuration is described on the picture below.

3. Charging
The irCUE 99 and irCUE wireless remote control panels are powered from internal accumulators
1 100 mAh.
To charge the accumulators, use the delivered power supply adapter. The connector for connecting
the charger is on the bottom side. Charging time for fully charged accumulator is 15 hours. Longer
charging time is not dangerous because the protection against overcharging is built-in.
It is recommended to connect the panel to the charger at the end of every working day. Connect the
charger to the panel also in case you find the lower range of the transmission or when the
backlight brightness is reduced.

5. Button Labels
5.1. irCUE 99 .....................................................................
The panel uses one big label foil for all buttons.
Steps
1. Use AutoCAD file named CS0149.0001.3-Foil.dwg for preparation of a layout. This file is
available on www.cuesystem.com. The foil shape is described on the picture below.
2. Print the foil on a standard printer.
3. Cut the foil into a shape according the picture (see above).
4. Put the panel upside down.
5. Unscrew two screws from the rear side of the panel.
6. Remove the front panel with buttons and foil still holding it upside down.
7. Replace the foil.
8. Put the front panel back.
9. Fasten the screws.
5.2. irCUE ..........................................................................
The separate labels for each button can be printed on a standard printer. Dimension of the label are
•6.5 mm x 12 mm for normal button
•6.5 mm x 29 mm for double button.
It is necessary to disassembly the control panel to change a label.
Steps are
1. Put the control panel on a table face down.
2. Unscrew the screws.
3. Dismount the bottom of the control panel with electronic board.
4. Install new labels to all buttons.
5. Assembly the control panel.

6. Addressing
The BUTTON_ID transmitted by a panel is number used in the programming for button identification.
The value depends on a button position and it depends on a panel ADDRESS too. Both values are
calculated according formula
BUTTON_ID = Offset + Button Code
Offset = 32 * ADDRESS
For addressing with irCUE Receiver 485 see chapter Receivers / irCUE Receiver 485 / Addressing.
The lowest BUTTON_ID is generated by a button in the upper right corner the highest BUTTON_ID
is generated by a button in the lower left corner - see example for ADDRESS = 0.
