IR Emitter Mounting Tips 

 

Surrounding  electrical  equipment  may  be  producing  high  levels  of  IR  noise. 
Plasma  TVs  and  compact  fluorescent  lights  are  known  polluters.  Shield  the 
outside of the emitter and the hardware’s IR window with electrical tape. 

 

Verify the emitter is directly on the hardware’s IR window and directly over 
the  IR  sensor.  Operation  may  be  intermittent  if  the  emitter  is  too  far  away 
from the sensor. 

 

Clean  the  DIGI-HD-4X8  IR  sensor  window  with  an  alcohol-based  cleaner 
before applying the emitter to guarantee adhesion.
