Connect the HC-200 controller to the network: To connect using an Ethernet connection, plug the data cable from the home network connection into the Home Controller RJ-45 port (labeled “Ethernet”) and the network port on the wall or at the network switch. NOTE: To connect using the optional USB WiFi adapter (C4-NWA-11GUSB), refer to the installation instructions shipped with the adapter. Only use the power supply included in this box. 3. Power up the controller: Plug the DC power supply into the Home Controller power plug port and an electrical outlet. 4. Connect system devices: As described in the “Connect Devices” section that follows. Additional Resources The following resources are available to provide you with additional support. • • • Your Control4 Reseller Control4 Web Site: http://www.control4.com Composer online help The default video output mode is NTSC over composite. In this mode, some bleed-through of the NTSC signal on the component video output connections occurs. However, the video image will not appear correctly in this mode. The HC-200 can be configured to output over component using NTSC (standard definition) or 720p (high definition). To configure the video mode to use the component video outputs, make the appropriate bindings for the desired video output mode in Composer. Connect Devices NOTE: You can use the Composer software to step through the connection process before or after the physical connections are completed. Connect all applicable devices to the Home Controller HC-200 using one of the connection options described in the following table. Table 1. Connection Options Audio In (1)—3.5 mm jacks for stereo channel input (line level) for 1 stereo analog source. Audio Out (1 left-right pair)—RCA jacks for stereo channel line output (line level) for amplifiers or audio switches. Video Out Options—Composite or Component port for displaying navigation menus on a monitor or TV. The Component jack is used for displaying standard or high-definition video.To display standard definition video, use the Composite port. Serial Port (up to 2) or IR Out (up to 4)—3.5 mm jacks for up to 4 IR emitters or for a combination of IR emitters and serial devices (up to 2). Jacks 1 and 2 can be configured independently for serial devices, such as receivers or disk changers. See “Set Up IR Emitters or IR Blaster” for more information. USB (1 port)—For external storage device with USB support (such as FAT32 formatted devices). See “Using External Storage Devices” for more information or for connecting the optional WiFi adapter C4-NWA-11G-USB. Ethernet—RJ-45 for a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connection Mount the HC-200 on a Wall (Optional) 1. Mount the HC-200 horizontally using 1 standard single-gang wall box: The wall mounting plate has 4 horizontal sets of slots. Install a single-gang wall box. Leave the screws protruding .08” from the wall. Power plug port—For use with the DC power supply (provided) Connect the IR Ports/Serial Ports (Optional) The HC-200 provides 4 IR ports; Jacks 1 and 2 can be reconfigured independently for serial communication. Any jack not used for serial can be used for IR. Connect a device to the HC-200, like a receiver or disk changer using the special serial cable (optional). Serial ports support many different baud rates. The table below shows the serial communication values. Hardware Flow Control Odd Parity Even Parity No Parity Serial Port 1 Serial Port 2 Other Serial Port 3 8 bits/char; 1 stop bit Serial Port 4 8 bits/char; 1 stop bit To configure a port for serial or for IR, make the appropriate connections in your project using Composer. Set Up IR Emitters or IR Blaster Your system may contain third-party products that are controlled with IR commands (usually through remote controls). To provide a way for the Home Controller to control a device that only recognizes IR commands, complete one of the following setups: IR Emitters or IR Blaster. IR Emitters 1. Plug the 3.5 mm connector end of one of the 4 IR stick-on emitters provided into an IR Out port on the HC-200. 2. Place the stick-on emitter end over the IR receiver on the media player, TV, or other target device to drive IR signals from the HC-200 to the target. IR Blaster In addition to IR emitters, the HC-200 is also equipped with an IR blaster, which is located just left of the front LEDs. To use the blaster instead of an IR emitter: 1. In Composer, connect the Front IR Out of the Home Controller to the IR In of the device you want to control. 2. Test and verify that the HC-200 is positioned in such a way that the blaster can reach the device you want to control. Set Up External Storage Device You can store and access media from an external storage device, such as a network hard drive or USB memory device by plugging the USB drive into the USB port and configure or scan the media from Composer. Troubleshooting Factory Restore Button 1. To restore the HC-200 for system recovery to the factory default image, on the bottom of the device insert the end of a paper clip into the small hole. 2. Power cycle the device while pressing and holding the Factory Restore button for about 5-7 seconds and the Status LED blinks orange. This action starts the recovery process. Identification Button 1. To reset the HC-200 to the network defaults, on the front of the device power cycle the device and hold the Identification button until the Data, Link, and Power LEDs are solid blue; immediately release the button. 2. If during the boot sequence, the Status LED stays Orange, press and hold the Identification button until the LED blinks Blue, and then release it. Regulatory Compliance IMPORTANT!
