The Channel Controller
should be mounted to the front of the receiver with the mask and foam tape
assembly provided. Begin by placing the Channel Controller face down on a
flat surface with the transmitter hole toward you. Remove the protective strip
from the foam tape and align the hole with the IR transmitter window on the
back of the Channel Controller (the notch in the mask should be on the left
side). Peel off the protective strip from the other side and align the bottom
edge of the mask with the bottom edge of the receiver, covering the receiver's
IR receiver window. An A/C wall adapter is also provided. This should be plugged
into the bottom of the display and the cable routed to the appropriate 110
Volt AC power source.
Notes:
EchoStar Models with a Plexiglas front such as the Model 3900 require an additional mask to cover the Plexiglas area. This mask must be applied prior to mounting the IRD-200 to ensure a good light seal.
For MUZAK music installations, the receiver should be loaded with all 60 music channels. In situations where it is necessary or desirable to restrict the channel selection use the Channel Controller to limit the available channels! For non-Muzak installations no special receiver programming is required.
Getting the Channel Controller ready for use consists of three steps;
| The IRD-200E comes from the factory with 60 channels (920-979) for Type II receivers already programmed. If these are the channels you will be using there's no need to program the Controller! |
After the initial setup, channels may be added or removed at any time by following
the steps in Adding or
Removing individual channels.

|
The Initial Channel Load function sets up the IRD-200 to be used with a particular receiver type and establishes the initial channel list. When this is done all of the Channel Controllers' other optional settings are also restored to their default values.
The Initial Channel Load function is performed by;
Example: To program the Channel Controller for 60 channels on a Type II receiver:
Press ,
Enter ,
Press again.
Done.
Please note that the
Initial Channel Load code value depends upon receiver's model and the desired
initial channel range. Determine the receiver's type based on model number from
the table directly below, then choose the correct key sequence for the desired
channel range.

The Channel Control uses three special buttons on the remote for programming.
These are:
|
Used to enter and exit Programming Mode. | |
 |
Used to add channels. | |
 |
Used to remove channels. |
The Channel Controller may be programmed to respond to one of nine different addresses. This allows receivers to be stacked and the use of one remote to control all the receivers.
To make a Channel Controller addressable:
1. Press
2. Enter the digits
and the desired address - , i.e.
then press
NOTE: Entering the digits
3. Press
|
IMPORTANT: When the Channel controller is programmed
with an address it will always power up and return from Programming
Mode in a deselected state. In its deselected state the only remote
commands that it will respond to are
to display the Channel Controller's assigned address and
to display and change the currently selected Channel Controller.
|
In the above example, when the Channel Controller returns from Programming Mode it will not respond to commands. It is necessary to press to make it active again. Once a Channel Controller has been selected or "made active" it will remain so until powered down, Programming Mode is exited or until it "sees" another Channel Controllers address selected.
In some situations it may be desirable to slow down or even turn off the rate at which the receiver's channel is refreshed.
To change the Channel Controller's Refresh Rate:
1. Press
2. Enter the digits
and the number corresponding to the desired refresh rate,
- then press

In some rare situations (generally older receivers) the Channel Controller can overrun the receivers ability to accept commands causing it to function abnormally. In theses cases, turn ON Slow Receiver Mode to compensate:
1. Press
2. Enter
or
Enter
3. Press
It is sometimes necessary to access the receiver's menu functions. This may be done without removing the Channel Controller from the receiver by enabling Pass Through Mode as follows.
1. Press
2. Enter
Or
Enter
3. Press
To use this mode press and
in rapid succession; the Channel Controller will respond by displaying: 
Every button pressed on the remote will now be passed through to the receiver. To exit this mode press . The Channel Controller will reset and resume normal operation.
To work correctly the only commands that the receiver gets should be coming from the Channel Controller, NOT the remote. Therefore it is important that the receiver's IR detector be properly masked. This is done will the black plastic mask and foam mounting tape assembly (supplied). It should be centered over the receiver's IR detector and the perimeter of the mask sealed against the receiver.
Receivers should always be loaded with all (60) music channels. By doing this and using the Channel Controller to restrict to available channels, receivers may be swapped by simply moving the Channel Controller to the new receiver, with no additional programming required.
If the receiver you are using has front controls, disable them! This will ensure that no one can change channels (independently of the Channel Controller).
Some types of lighting (especially full spectrum) and direct sunlight may interfere with the IR reception of the Channel Controller. If this is the case, functionality may be greatly improved by simply shading the Channel Controller's IR detector from direct illumination by the offending light source.
As parts of it's normal operation the Channel Controller periodically refreshes the receiver's channel number, overriding any channel change that would be normal in a day-parting receiver. If the IRD-200 is to be used with a day-parting receiver the channel refresh option should be turned off.
On power up the Channel Controller performs a brief self-test, then momentarily displays the number of available channels, i.e. (60) in the default configuration. After that it will switch the receiver to the last channel select before it was powered down.
You may quickly go to any available channel by entering the (3) digit channel number. Upon entering the 3rd number the receiver will immediately be changed to the desired channel. Entering an unavailable channel number will cause display to flash briefly then return to the previously selected channel.
Pressing the 
button causes the Channel Controller to immediately change to the previously
selected channel. The Channel Controller retains the "current" and "previous"
channel information through power outages.
The 
Button causes the Channel Controller to "re-select" the current channel; this
can sometimes be useful if the receiver becomes stuck in some unknown state.
When using the Arrows buttons to scroll through the channel list or entering
channel numbers directly you may stay on the currently selected channel and
abort the entry by pressing .
When Channel Controllers are programmed for addressable operation the 
and
buttons may be used to see and or change the currently selected receiver.
Pressing
displays the address of each Channel Controller, the currently selected receiver's
address will flash.
Pressing
displays each Channel Controller's address and allows the user to select the
receiver to activate by pressing its corresponding address .
Pressing
and
deselects all Channel Controllers.
