2.4 Timer
The CB-1000 includes a timer feature, which allows it to automatically send out IR commands
based on a set time. For instance, you can set the CB-1000 to always turn a projector off at
10:00PM. Each button can have a separate timed event attached to it. In addition, there are 4
extra virtual buttons available for timed events only. NOTE: the CB-1000 will lose the time
setting upon removal of power, but time can be reset at installation time by either the config utilty
(set up to minute accuracy) or by the front panel buttons (hour selections).
Setting a timed event:
There are two timer modes: Daily and Repeat . Daily sets the timer to
send out the buttons IR command each day at the set time (note the 24 hour clock). Repeat
sends out the buttons IR command at the set interval in the format hh:mm. Selecting the
Daily/Repeat button will toggle between the modes. The Enabled box needs to be checked and
then Save button needs to be clicked before a timed event is stored.
Setting the timer from the front panel in the event of a loss of power: If a power outage occurs
and the timer function has been enabled the CB-1000 will keep the scheduled times in its
memory but the current time will need to be re-entered. The CB-1000 will blink buttons (HR) and
(SET) to indicate that a loss of power has occurred and the time needs to be reset. This can be
accomplished easily from the front panel. Pressing button (HR) increments the time in hours
from midnight until the current time is reached and button (SET) sets the time. For example, if
the current time is 9:00AM then you would press button (HR) nine times and then press button
(SET) to set the time. Keep in mind that from the front panel the time can only be adjusted by the
hour. If up to minute accuracy is important then you would need to wait until the top of the hour
to set the time or use the config utility.

Password Protection
Passwords can be set for two different levels: Admin and User . The Admin password is a four
digit selection + (ENT) while the user password is a two digit selection + (ENT). A time out is set
that determines how long the CB-1000 operates between button presses before reverting back
to requiring a password. The (ENT) button lights up to show that a password is required before
operation. Password enabled is saved if power is lost but the CB-1000 will flash the first six
buttons to indicate that it requires a new user password to be set. The Admin password is saved
in the event of a power outage. Admin can change a User password from the front panel at any
time by entering the Admin password + (ENT) followed by the new User password + (ENT).
