JFA ACQUA 1200 Long Control Distance

PRESENTATION

The ACQUA 1200 remote control is the only one on the market that is water resistant, which guarantees greater safety when carrying out day-to-day activities without worrying about splashes of water, moisture or sweat. It allows controlling the main functions of the player such as changing music and folder, volume, pause, play and power with a range of up to 1200 meters². .
It also has the commands of the main equipment on the market in memory and also has the LEARN function, which allows the ACQUA 1200 control to learn the commands of the player’s original infrared control.

Test carried out in the laboratory with the transmitter unit submerged at a depth of 10 cm for 5 minutes. In order for the transmitter unit to be water resistant, it is necessary that, when replacing the internal battery, the sealing membrane is correctly packaged. Only the transmitter unit is water resistant.
For greater range, install the receiver unit of the equipment in a place where the antenna is free (or as exposed as possible). The distance reached is up to 1200 meters in an open area (target).

OPERATION

Transmitter unit: Whenever a key is pressed, the blue LED will light up, indicating transmission. If the LED lights up at a very low intensity or does not light up, it indicates the need to replace the BATTERY.
Receiver unit: The red “Action LED” will light up, indicating the presence of a valid signal received.
Note: The switch will not work if the encryption procedure is not performed.

BASIC COMMANDS OF THE RECEIVING UNIT

Antenna of the RF receiver;
LED action, reception indicator;
Key MODE LEARN;
Key MODE MEMORY;
Code IR (see way to learn);
Power 12V (black white stripe) and GND (black);
Infrared emitter (aim at the front of the player).

CONTROL CODING

The receiver unit can operate with two transmitters, simply by executing steps 1 and 2 of the item “LEARN MODE” to add the new transmitter. This feature is recommended for customers who wish to use, in conjunction with the ACQUA 1200 control, another transmitter unit from JFA Electronics.

LEARN MODE
In Learn Mode, the ACQUA 1200 receiver unit learns the functions of the original player control:

Press the “A” key (indicator 1) on the ACQUA 1200 receiver unit, the action LED will be permanently lit;
Press the ACQUA 1200 transmitter unit key (indicator 2), which you want to record, until the action LED is flashing;
Point the player’s original controller to the Code IR input and press the key you want to record (indicator 4) until the action LED flashes quickly, then stays lit;
Repeat the second and third steps for the other keys until all the desired keys are learned;
To end the learning process, press the “A” key (indicator 1) on the ACQUA 1200 receiver unit or wait 10 seconds to exit the LEARN MODE.

MEMORY MODE

In memory mode, the receiver unit uses the codes of the main player models that it already has stored in its memory. See tables 1 and 2 for more information on supported models.
To select a model, follow these steps:

Press the “M” key (indicator 3) on the receiver unit, the action LED will be permanently lit;

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

To replace the battery, remove the two screws on the back of the drive unit with a small Phillips screwdriver to gain access to the battery.
Replace the battery (model: 23A 12V battery) ensuring correct polarity¹. The correct battery connection polarity is indicated on the receiver unit’s internal plate as (+) for the positive pole and (-) for the negative pole (indication 1).
Close the back ensuring the correct position of the sealing membrane over the fixing tabs, ensuring that the control is water resistant (indication 2).

Incorrect installation of the battery can cause damage to the device.

RECOMMENDED RECEIVER INSTALLATION

Installation of the equipment in the sound system is done using a polarized power cable. Make sure the white striped wire from the receiver unit is connected to the battery’s direct positive (+12V) and the black wire to the negative (GND).

The receiver unit should preferably be fixed away from metal parts and car bodywork (which degrades the transmission) keeping, whenever possible, the antenna unobstructed to allow the greatest possible range of the equipment.
Position the infrared emitter, from the receiver unit aimed at the player’s panel, so that there are no obstacles between them. It is recommended to install the receiver unit in the trunk and the IR emitter in the center of the rear window, pointing towards the front of the player. Make sure the wires are not pinched in the installation process.

“This equipment operates on a secondary basis, that is, it is not entitled to protection against harmful interference, even from stations of the same type, and cannot cause interference to systems operating on a primary basis.”

The ACQUA 1200 remote control is splash and water resistant, and has been tested under laboratory controlled conditions with the submerged transmitter unit at 10 cm depth for 5 minutes.
The resistance is not a permanent condition and can decrease over time. Do not replace the battery with the ACQUA 1200 wet remote control. Damages arising from contact with liquids are not included in the warranty.
