Hi guys,

I just purchased the RM-AV3000T and have spent seveeral hours setting it up. It was easier than I first thought, and seems to have learned nearly all my codes. I am trying to replace 8 remotes.

The only problem appears to be with a HPM remote controlled light switch. By depressing the transmit button for the light switch it will normally Ramp Up or Down accordingly. A quick tap of the light switch will switch it On or Off.

The AV3000 will learn the key code but the duration of the learned codes transmit is too short to ramp my light switch Up or Down through its full range.

Has anybony else had a similar problem? Is there a solution to this?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thankyou,

Icooch.

when you learnfrom the light remote make sure you press and hold the "up" button until the 3000 beeps. Repeat for the down function.

why have a nice system if you cant operate it, program the remote the right way the FIRST time!

Thanks for your prompt reply.

The Light Switch Remote is only a Single Button Remote.

One Quick press of this button will switch the lights either On or Off, depending on the intial state.

To Dim the lights in gradual steps you merely hold down this button until the desired light level is reached. Generally, from lowest setting to highest setting and vice-versa you need to hold the button down for approximately 3-4 Seconds.

The AV3000 does not appear to transmit a continuous signal whilst the learnt button is depressed. It will merely transmit for about 1 Second and then stop transmitting until the button is depressed again.

I hope this explains the problem better than my first post.

Thanks again,

Icooch.

Same answer. Hold the light button down until the 3000 beeps. (long press)
if that doesnt work try a short press. Usually the long press is what works.

Thanks cb1,

I tried both methods using different buttons, both Hard and Touch Screen, but still No-Go.

I'm not too fussed though. This is the first relatively "cheap" remote that actually learned all the other codes from my 7 other remotes. I suppose 7 out of 8 isn't too bad. Now I only have 2 remotes on the coffee table and the rest in the drawer.

Thanks for the advice.

Icooch.
