Install IR Emitters (Optional)
The CP4-R ships with four IR emitters, which adhere to the IR sensor
window of a display, optical disc player, or any other IR-controlled device.
Each IR emitter has a 2-pin terminal block that connects to the
IR - SERIAL port on the CP4-R, providing a one-way IR control interface
to the connected device.
NOTE:
The white-traced wire on the IR emitter is positive and connects
to one of the IR - SERIAL port pins labeled “S.”
Position the IR Emitter
The IR emitter works best for most devices when positioned directly over
the device IR sensor. However, operation is more consistent for some
devices when the IR emitter is offset one or two inches from the device IR
sensor.
To position the IR emitter, send commands from the CP4-R while moving
the IR emitter around the front panel of the device. When operation is
consistent and reliable, attach the IR emitter using the procedure
described in
Attach the IR Mask
Attach the IR mask (packaged with the IR emitter) when two or more
identical devices are being controlled using IR. The IR mask prevents stray
IR output from controlling another device accidentally.
Place the IR mask over the IR emitter shell as shown in the following
illustration. Do not remove the clear adhesive strips from the IR emitter
shell or the IR mask.
