[CR] = "0x0D" hex or "13" decimalCommand Parameter

(of variable length)Start Character

* Some control systems use a special character (such as " \r" or " \n") to represent a carriagereturn, [CR]. Please check with your control system provider if you are not sure what

character or string they use.

Sunfire's RS-232 protocol is a very sophisticated, yet simple to use interface to 3rd party control

systems such as Elan, Crestron, AMX, and others. Each command is structured as outlined

below:

The start character ("*") tells the Sunfire unit that a command is about to follow. The command +

parameter instruct the unit to perform a certain operation. The unit will then execute that action

upon receiving the [CR] string.
