For a Telecommand (TC) to be effective, it must be compiled into a pre-arranged format (which may follow a standard structure), modulated onto a carrier wave which is then transmitted with adequate power to the remote system. The remote system will then demodulate the digital signal from the carrier,

Infrared remotes have a maximum range of approximately 30 feet and require the remote control or transmitter and receiver to

to the light-emitting diode (LED) usually located at the front of the remote. To transfer the information from the remote to the receiver, the LED turns the electrical signals into an invisible beam of infrared light that corresponds with the binary code and sends this light to the receiver. The

Telecommand systems usually include a physical remote, which contains four key parts: buttons, 219:. When the buttons on a remote are pressed they touch and close their corresponding contacts below them within the remote. This completes the necessary circuit on the circuit board along with a change in 223:, which is detected by the integrated circuit. Based on the change in electrical resistance, the integrated circuit distinguishes which button was pushed and sends a corresponding 133:

Systems that need remote measurement and reporting of information of interest to the system designer or operator require the counterpart of telecommand, 270:) but they are either controlled via infra-red transmission or electromagnetically guided.
