ABOUT THE RF KEY FOB AND VISOR REMOTE
The C-Bus™ Wireless RF Key Fob and Visor Remote provides
C-Bus protocol commands to remotely controlled buttons on RF
wireless wall units and plug adapter units.
The two radio frequency (RF) remote controls work up to 50 to 70
feet (15 to 20 meters) from a unit they control. Unlike an infrared
remote, which operates on line-of-sight, an RF remote signal cannot
be blocked by obstructions. The user can control a unit by pointing a
remote in any direction, including away from the unit.
Up to three separate wall units or plug adapter buttons can be
controlled by a remote control unit. The buttons can be on various
units on different wireless networks. A single button on a wall unit or
plug adapter unit can be controlled by up to two RF remote controls.
Before You Begin
Before using the key fob and visor remote, inspect it carefully. Verify
the catalog number on the box label.
