Transcripts:

[19:09] Rick: hello, how may I help you.
[19:10] Customer: I had a question about the ZIW in wall switch in regards to the IHome114XW2-E24
[19:10] Customer: We purchased one of these and were looking at putting in a more traditional wall switch and saw the ZIW option.
[19:10] Customer: My question is that the switch that comes with it looks like it has a receiver for the remotes.
[19:10] Customer: And the ZIW looks like it doesn’t have that
[19:11] Customer: I was told the rf remote with the wall switch would be the best setup.
[19:11] Customer: …and was curious if the ZIW in wall switch would still work with the rf remote controller for the screen
[19:12] Customer: I’m mainly curious where the rf receiver is on the unit, is it in the wall switch or is it in the box attached to the screen
[19:12] Rick: With this product, the RF receiver is located on the control box that is also attached to the power cord.
[19:12] Customer: Ok so even without the wall switch at all the rf controller would still work.
[19:13] Customer: Then what is in the 3-way wall switch? Is that an extension for the infrared controller?
[19:13] Rick: Correct, the ZIW is just an optional accessory.
[19:14] Customer: Another question is how do I adjust the drop length on the screen is that with the socket wrench?
[19:15] Rick: The 3-way wall switch is an optional part but it is not an IR receiver. It is strictly a hard-wired 3-way (up-stop-down) control box.
[19:16] Customer: We did get one with the unit.
[19:16] Customer: I’m replacing it because I wanted it to look more like a regular wall switch.
[19:18] Customer: how soon could I get the switch delivered if I were to place the order today?
[19:19] Customer: Our maintenance crew is looking to do this thurs/friday or over the weekend
[19:20] Rick: it will take 1 to 2 business days to process. and will ship regular ground.
[19:20] Customer: also does this remote work with the screen?
[19:20] Customer: https://elitescreens.com/front/front/productdetail/product/244#prettyPhoto
[19:23] Rick: yes, this is the remote for this screen.
[19:23] Rick: also the evanesce scree already comes with all of the remotes.
[19:24] Customer: Yes, this one is a bit different than what came with it.
[19:24] Customer: I wanted a spare and this one looks like I can mount it to the wall.
[19:25] Customer: The one that comes with it didn’t look to have an indicator of what the buttons do so I wanted to have both models.
[19:25] Rick: the current one you have should be white with black front plate.
[19:25] Customer: yes
[19:26] Customer: but I was looking at getting a spare and thought i might like the one with buttons that look like arrows for the room
[19:28] Rick: yes, this will work.
[19:29] Customer: For the remote what version type should i get or does it matter ?
[19:29] Customer: It is asking on the website
[19:29] Customer: I assume 2.0 is the best since it’s the newest?
[19:30] Customer: Shoot! I don’t know where the serial number is
[19:31] Rick: yes, this is the correct version.
[19:31] Customer: Model looks like IHOME114XW2-E20
[19:32] Customer: is the serial located on the screen?
[19:34] Rick: Yes, once you drop the material it is located on the right side on the back of the bar. next to the model number.
[19:34] Customer: hmm alright I’ll see if I can find it, but we don’t have it installed yet so i can’t really drop anything.
[19:35] Customer: I’ll check the case and if i find it I’ll place the order for the switch and remote I guess
[19:35] Customer: Thanks for the help
[19:35] Rick: it should be on the box or on the back side of the unit.
[19:39] Customer: ok I see it
[19:40] Customer: last question
[19:40] Customer: how do u adjust the drop distance
[19:42] Rick: Here are the instructions https://elitescreens.com/images/download/material/Service/evanesce_limit_adjustments1.pdf
[19:52] Customer Okay, thanks for the help.
[19:52] Rick: My pleasure, thank you for choosing Elite screens.
