User Control
Typical user functions such as channel selection and volume control are made using the available remote controls and accessories.
Infra Red (IR) Receiver
– The receiver is controlled using the IR Exterity Remote Control handset.
If the receiver’s location means that its IR Window is not easily visible, control functions can be
maintained using an IR Extender connected to the rear panel (see below). The front panel IR
receiver is disabled when a rear panel connection is made.
IR Extender
– An IR extender is available to allow IR remote control of the receiver when the front
panel IR receiver is obscured. The IR extender is not supplied with the receiver and must be
ordered separately.
Please note that operation of IR remote control may be impaired by strong IR sources such as
sunlight, certain fluorescent lighting types, and displays. For consistent operation the IR receiver/
extender body may require shielding from direct sunlight, or placed 5-10 cm away from any
possible strong IR sources.
Remote Control Handsets
– Two types of handsets are available:
IR Remote Control handset
– The IR handset works in conjunction with the front panel IR
receiver and IR Extender. It provides full user operation.
Wired (tethered) Remote Control handset
– The wired handset connects to the rear panel input,
providing full user operation. The front panel IR receiver is disabled when the rear panel
connection is made. The wired handset is intended for use when there are multiple receivers
within close range, and when using IR would risk controlling the wrong receiver.
Please see the
Exterity Accessories Datasheet
for details of order codes.
