Backlit Tactile Buttons
A full complement of buttons provides immediate access to the essential controls needed for watching TV, listening to music, or navigating an on-screen menu. Each button is clearly labeled using familiar text and icons for intuitive operation. Button backlighting affords excellent legibility in darkened rooms. Every button on the HR-100 is fully programmable to deliver precise and predictable behavior, whether simply adjusting audio volume and flipping through channels, controlling a DVR or DVD player, navigating onscreen setup menus, or operating a pan/tilt camera.
User-Assignable Buttons
At the top of the HR-100 is a user-assignable area that can be populated with up to four buttons. An assortment of 100 pre-labeled button caps is included with the remote, allowing any of these four button positions to be designated for AV source selection, room selection, lighting control, shade and drapery control, and other functions. Three different cover plates are also included to enable configurations of four, two, or no user-assigned buttons.
infiNET EX® Wireless Technology
Ultra-reliable infiNET EX wireless technology provides steadfast 2-way RF communications throughout a residential or commercial structure. A complete infiNET EX network can consist of a single wireless gateway with one or more HR-100 remotes, along with other wireless devices such as lighting dimmers, thermostats, door locks, motorized shades, and keypads. Many of the devices on the network act as “expanders,” relaying wireless commands between the central gateway and all the other devices on the network to ensure that every command reaches its intended destination without disruption. Every device that is added to the network effectively increases the range and stability of the entire network.
Of course, the HR-100 can communicate directly with the gateway if no other infiNET EX devices are installed. The wireless range for the HR-100 is 75 feet (23 meters) typical indoors, which can be extended easily using one or more infiNET EX Expanders. Up to 100 HR-100s can be assigned to a single gateway.
Long Battery Life
Under typical usage, the HR-100 can operate for over a year on a set of four AAA alkaline batteries (included). To ensure you and your guests are never faced with dead batteries, the HR-100 can be configured to report its battery level and send a low-battery warning to your mobile phone or computer, a Crestron touch screen, or a central help desk, allowing the batteries to be replaced before they ever have a chance to fail.
