1. General
We call it “IR Learning” that combine the three parts, PC Software, IR Learner and IR Emitter.
The IR Learning can be used for learning control code of the IR Remote Controller, and storing the
code to the database in the PC software. The learned control code can be stored, deleted or tested in
the software.
The IR Emitter has BTIS-04/00.1 and BTIS-01/00.1. The BTIS-04/00.1 has 4 channels.
Usually, we use one channel to control one IR Remote Control device. The IR Learning can learn
up to 64 functional control codes for each channel. However, the BTIS-01/00.1 supports 360 degree
full direction transmitting, and support up to 256 IR codes control.
The IR Learning is consist of PC Software, IR Learner and IR Emitter.
The PC Software is used for config the functions, like physical address, group address, scense
call, etc.
IR Learner is connected to the PC via USB interface and used to learn the control codes of the
keys of the IR Remote Controller. The learning process is realized by operating the software, and
you should put the IR emitter on the remote control near to IR detector on the IR Learner as close as
you can to avoid the failure of learning.
The IR Emitter is connected to the EIB/KNX bus directly using the EIB bus connection
terminal. As the configuration has been finished, the PC software can download the learned control
code to the IR Emitter via the KNX downloader, which has been connected to the KNX/EIB bus.
After success to download, the IR Emitter can control the switch, wind speed and timing of a fan, as
well as the IR remote control devices, such as DVD, TV, Air-Condition, Fan, etc. through sending
telegrams on the KNX bus by other devices in the EIB/KNX system.
This manual provides detailed technical information about the IR Learning for users as well as
assembly and programming details, and explains how to use the IR Learning by the application
examples.
The functions of the IR Learning are summarized as follows:
Supports the IR Emitter of BTIS-04/00.1 and BTIS-01/00.1 versions ;
The device manager of IR can be configured with 20 IR Emitter devices at most ;
The device manager of IR Learning code can be configured with 40 controlled appliances ;
Each of the controlled appliance can learn 40 key encoding at most ;
Each devices have 4 channels, and can configure 256 commands ; (maybe the
BTIS-01/00.1 can support more devices,but max. number of commands still are 256)

Each channel can be configured with 16 group addresses at most ;
To learn more than 95% of remote controller in the market ;
The IR control commands can be assigned to 2 types of object(1bit 1byte), 1bit object can
recall the IR control commands of the devices, but 1byte object only can recall the
corresponding IR control commands of channel through the scene mode;
Sending time and sending delay can be set for per IR commands ;
Each command can include 5 slave functions, this way is suitable for controlling several
functions via one command at a time ;
2. Technical data
2.1 The IR Learner
The IR Learner uses a common USB port to communicate, it is easy to learn the functional
control codes of the IR remote controller and store the codes to the database of the PC Software
The design of the IR Learner is as a UDisk, small and exquisite in size. The IR Learner is
needed to use only when it learns the functional control codes of the IR remote controller.
Attention: When learning, please put the IR emitter on the remote control near to IR
detector on the IR Learner as close as you can(within 3cm) to avoid the failure of learning.
The IR Learner is provided with receiving and emitting IR function, so it can test and verify
whether the learned control code has been learned correctly.
For convenient to operate, suggest that connect the IR Learner to PC via a USB extension cord
please.

②Main command
Channel：Part of a command；
Scene：Part of a command；
Send time: The number of send command，for example, the wind speed function of a fan is set
to 2 times for transmitting, then when the transmitter receives a corresponding telegram, the
transmitter will send the wind speed signal to the fan and continuous send 2 times, then the wind
speed of the fan will jump 2 steps.
Send delay:To set the send delay for the command. For example, you turn on a fan, and attach
a pivot and time function. If they are executed at the same time, this may influence the life of the
fan motor，so you can delay a period of time for transmitting of the pivot and time function. Then
when the transmitter receives a 14 corresponding telegram, the transmitter will first send the open
function signal to the fan, after a while send the pivot function signal to the fan, and then after a
time send the time function signal to the fan, in order to protect the motor of the fan.
