Compatibility

The it-Control Pro is compatible with any Simply Works transmitter.

These include:

•   it-Switch – a wireless switch.

•   it-Send  and  it-Send  Pro  –  to  enable  connection  of  wired  switches.

•   it-Stick – stick can be used as a ‘wobble switch’

Batteries

The  it-Control  requires  2  x  AA  batteries.  These  are  fitted  by  removing the battery cover on the underside of the device.

Ensure the batteries are inserted correctly – match the + and –  symbols on the battery with those in the battery compartment.

Replace the battery cover and screw. It is recommended that good quality batteries are used (such as Energiser or Duracell).

If you are not intending to use the it-Control Pro for an extended  period  (e.g.  a  number  of  weeks)  it  is  advisable  to  remove  the  batteries to prevent leakage, which may damage the device.

Pairing it-Control Pro with a transmitter (e.g.

it-Switch)

The it-Control Pro has two independent channels which can control separate toys. Each channel can be paired with a separate transmitter e.g. one switch for each channel.

1. Place the it-Control Pro close to the transmitter device.

2. Choose which channel you want to use.

3.  Press and release the PAIR 1 or PAIR 2 button on the front of  the it-Control Pro. The red light above it will begin flashing.

4. Within 10 seconds press and release the PAIR button on the transmitter.

5.  The light on the it-Control Pro will continue to flash while the  devices communicate with each other.

6.  Once the pairing is successful the red light on the it-Control 

Pro will stay on for 5 seconds.

7.  If the light continues to flash for 30 seconds and then stops,  repeat the process above. If it still does not pair successfully,  refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Pairing  information  is  retained  in  the  it-Control  Pro’s  memory  even after changing the batteries.

Operation

If you have paired the it-Control Pro with the it-Send or it-Switch,  you must ensure the mode on these devices is set to 0.

If using a wired switch it can be plugged directly into the socket  on the relevant channel. These are marked IN 1 or IN 2.

Use  the  lead  supplied  to  connect  the  relevant  channel  of  the  it-Control Pro to your preferred device. This may be an adapted  battery toy or a mains control device.

Unless a co-operative mode is selected (see below) the two channels operate independently. E.g. a switch paired with channel 1 operates a toy attached to channel 1.

The it-Control Pro offers six modes of operation:

•   Direct – sometimes also called ‘momentary’, this mode means  the attached toy is activated while the switch is held down.

When the switch is released the toy will stop. This is good for  individuals  learning  about  cause  and  effect  as  it  provides  a  concrete link between the switch press and toy activation.

•   Latched – the first switch press will activate the attached toy. 

Pressing again will stop it.

•   Timed (SEC) – when the switch is pressed the attached toy  is activated for the selected number of seconds. This mode is  good for an extended reward or for individuals who are unable  to hold down a switch.

•   Timed (MIN) - when the switch is pressed the attached toy is  activated for the selected number of minutes.  

•   Co-operative 1 (CO-OP 1) – this mode requires two switches  to be pressed to control one device. A toy plugged into output

1 will only be activated if switches paired to both channels are  pressed. When either switch is released the toy will stop. This is also the case for wired switches plugged into IN 1 and IN 2.

•   Co-operative  2  (CO-OP  2)  –  this  mode  enables  one  switch  to turn something on and a second switch to turn it off. A toy  plugged into output 1 will be activated when a switch paired with channel 1 is pressed. The toy will stop when a switch paired with channel 2 is pressed. This is also the case for wired  switches plugged into IN 1 and IN 2.

Press the MODE button on the front of the it-Control Pro to view  the current mode of operation for that channel. A light will show  next to the current mode. To change mode continue pressing the

MODE button until the mode you require is selected.

Press the PERIOD button to view the current time set. The same timer period is used for both channels. To change the amount  of time set continue pressing the PERIOD button until the time  period you want is shown. The lights show what time is selected either on the left in seconds or on the right in minutes. After 4  seconds the lights will extinguish.

In timed modes the activation can be interrupted by pressing the

MODE button. This will enable you to stop a long timed period  when it is not required.

Output rating

The  output  rating  of  the  jack  sockets  is  1  amp  at  up  to  30V.  

Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage and is not covered by the warranty.

it-Control Pro troubleshooting

Problem it-Control Pro not functioning. 

Possible cause

•   Not paired with a transmitter – see  pairing instructions.

•   Wrong  channel  selected  –  check  that the transmitter and toy are using the same channel.

•   Transmitter not set to 0 – set mode  on transmitter to 0.

•   No  batteries  in  it-Control  Pro,  or  batteries are flat – insert or replace  batteries.

it-Control Pro works erratically or intermittently.

•   Batteries  in  it-Control  Pro  flat  –  replace batteries.

•   Out  of  range  –  move  transmitter  closer to it-Control Pro.

•   Interference  –  move  it-Control  Pro  and transmitter away from sources  of interference (e.g. mobile phone).

Devices will not pair.

•   No  batteries  in  it-Control  Pro,  or  batteries are flat – insert or replace  batteries.

•   No  batteries  in  transmitter,  or  batteries are flat – insert or replace  batteries.

•   Ensure  it-Control  Pro  is  close  to  transmitter while pairing (within 1 metre).
