Abstract:
1. A system for remotely controlling devices, comprising: a foot pedal unit having a moveable member; a first microprocessor operatively associated with the foot pedal unit and an RF transmitter, the first microprocessor configured to determine whether at least a first device or a second device is selected, the first microprocessor further configured to induce the RF transmitter to transmit a first RF signal in response to at least partial displacement of the moveable member when the first device is selected, the first RF signal having a first identifier value, the first microprocessor further configured to induce the RF transmitter to transmit a second signal in response to at least partial displacement of the moveable member when the second device is selected, the second RF signal having a second identifier value; and a first device actuation unit configured to receive the first RF signal, the first device actuation unit further configured to compare the first identifier value to a first predetermined value associated with the first device, the first device actuation unit further configured to actuate the first device when the first identifier value corresponds to the first predetermined value.
