PC PROGRAM SETUP - IR LEARNER

The HTR-2400’s IR Learner is the IRL-5000 which is programmed via ADA’s IRL-3000 soft-

ware and is somewhat different from the other ADA programs. This program is downloaded

as a zipped file. The most common mistake made during installation of the software is that

the dealer attempts to run the installer from inside the Winzip window. This will not work.

Select all files in the Winzip window and choose extract, targeting your desk top. A folder will

appear on your desk top. Open it and then run the installer. Once the installation is complete,

you will find a new folder named ADA in your C Drive and in it is a folder called IRL-3000.

ADA strongly suggests following these steps as the IRL is not difficult to program

properly but requires you to take the time to do it correctly. Rushing through the IRL

setup will waste your time. Also, while the IRL can be loaded at the job site, it is best to

do this in your shop where: lighting conditions can be controlled; your gear isn’t strewn

all over the floor; and you have the time to capture, test, and load the IRL properly.

Because the IRL in the HTR is the same as a stand alone IRL-5000, you can use an IRL-

5000 to capture and test your commands. Later, you can take the PC to the job site and

load the HTR-2400 through its front panel RS-232 port. Either way, follow these steps.

Step 1 - Folder Structure

Open the C Drive. Then open the

ADA folder. Then open the IRL-

3000 folder. Here you will see sev-

eral files including the Ir-codes

folder. In the Ir-codes folder cre-

ate a new folder called Customer

as well as a new folder for every

make of source gear you need to

capture code for. Then open the

“manufacturer” folders and create

a new folder for each model num-

ber. Please note, you must keep

names to only eight characters

and avoid using spaces or / in

their name.

Step 2 - Connection to PC & Opening the Program

Turn on the HTR-2400 and connect your PC to either

its front panel RS-232 port or the rear panel RS-232

port and then flip the small red switch on the back of

the HTR-2400 to the right (IR Learn Mode). You can

also communicate to the HTR-2400’s rear panel ADA

Bus port via an ISO-E or ISO-USB. Here you do not

need to flip the switch to the IR Learn Mode position.

The IRL-3000 program will appear under the applica-

tions window or in the IRL-3000 folder (PROGADA.exe

for “Program ADA”). After you have connected the PC

to the HTR, start the application. If you get an error

message, check your RS-232 cable, the IR Learner

Switch position and/or your Com port under Config.
