Installation Guide

2NookBox Installation Guide IR Universal Remote Control UPIC-5ZBS

UPIC5-ZBS is a ZigBee Infrared Remote Control. It is designed to operate your home applian-

ces by transmitting IR signal. The IR Remote Control is capable of learning IR signal transmit-

ted from the appliance’s remote control. After learning the signal, you can remotely control

the IR Remote Control via ZigBee network to send signal to appliance without using the remo-

te control manually and support Over-the-Air (OTA) rmware update capability.

The IR Remote Control utilizes ZigBee technology for wireless signal transmission. ZigBee is

a wireless communication protocol that is reliable and has low power consumption and high

transmission eciency. Based on the IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of

devices to be included in a network and coordinated for data exchange and signal transmissi-

on.

The IR Remote Control serves as an end device in the ZigBee network. It can be included in

the ZigBee network to transmit signal upon activation, but cannot permit any other ZigBee

device to join the network through the device itself.
