Key Features

iPro.8®Companion Remote Control
Programming the IPro.8
The IPro.8 remote control is programmed using Pro Control’s
Pro Control Studio software. Once you have completed the
programming, Pro Control Studio will generate a unique 10 digit
conguration code that will allow the Pro Control processor to
identify the IPro.8. This code is entered manually into the remote
via a series of button presses on the numeric keypad.
NOTE: This conguration code is based on IPro.8’s programming
functions, RF transmission output type, zone code etc. Therefore
this code may need to be updated in the IPro.8 if any of these
options change.
1) Enter Conguration Mode on IPro.8
The IPro.8 is in conguration mode when the LED status light
(located at the top of the remote) is blinking red and green. The
IPro.8 is automatically in conguration mode the rst time it is
powered-up (when it is in its factory default state). To put the IPro.8
in conguration mode:
• Press and hold the “Power” button (located at the top of the
remote) for 10 seconds until the LED status light blinks red and
green.
2) Get Conguration Code
When you have completed programming the IPro.8, in Pro Control
Studio go to the Download menu to get the IPro.8 Conguration
Code.
3) Enter Conguration Code into IPro.8
a) Press “Enter” button on IPro.8 (LED status light blinking stops)
b) Enter 10 digit code using numeric keypad on IPro.8 (remote
beeps with each press).
c) Press “Enter” button on IPro.8 to nish.
Authorized Pro Control dealers can download Pro Control Studio
software from: www.procontrol.com
Installing Batteries
The IPro.8 uses four (4) AAA batteries and ships without a screw
installed in the battery door. Three optional tri-head security screws
are included for installations such as hotels, to hinder access to the
battery compartment. The included security screw removal tool can
be used to install the security screw.
1 Remove the screw on the battery door (if installed).
2 Remove the battery door from the rear of the remote by applying
pressure near battery door seam and pulling down (pressing
down near seam “unlocks” the door latch).
3Insert the batteries into the battery compartment sleeves so that
the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the batteries match the
diagrams.
4Slide the battery door onto the remote until it snaps into place.
5Reinstall the battery door security screw using the security screw
tool (optional).
