The KLIR-RM1KIT is an Infra Red (IR) signal transport device. It is designed
to extend the communication between an IR remote control and respective AV
equipment e.g. Blu-ray player, set-top box, amplifier etc, which can be in a
different room or hidden location. The IR receiver has a recess mount for
discreet installation in walls, ceilings or cupboard doors.
Drill a hole 13mm wide where you wish to position the IR receiver.
Remove the nut, push the receiver cable and thread through the hole
with the lens facing into the room. Screw the nut back on until tight to
hold the receiver in place.
Please note: For full installation details please also read the ‘Advanced
Installation’ and ‘Troubleshooting’ sections.
Please note: This process is likely to require two people
It is possible to connect
and power up to 3 IR
receivers simultaneously
See ‘Receiver wired
connection’ diagram
in the ‘Advanced
Installation’ section

incorrect power. Try
another power supply.
1.
Clean the source equipment surfaces over the IR pick ups, remove
the backing from the emitter heads and stick them over each IR pick
up.
3.
4.
Attach the correct UK / Europe plug adaptor onto the power adaptor.
Connect the adaptor to the connection block input labelled ‘Power
12V DC’ and plug it into the mains. Now switch on the mains supply.
The red LED power indicator should now be lit and the emitters and receiver
will flash when passing an IR signal to show the system is working. Once you
are happy the system is working correctly stick the supplied emitter covers over
the emitters.
5.
Plug the emitter jacks into any of the connection block outputs marked
‘Emitters 1,2,3 or 4’.
Plug the IR receiver jack securely into the connection block input
indicated ‘IR Receiver’.
2.
Cable extension
The IR receiver and emitter cables can be extended to custom lengths if
required. It is recommended that two strands of CAT5 are used per signal.
To do this, firstly you need to determine the length of the run and cut that
amount. Now cut the receiver / emitter cable and use the CAT5 to extend the
cable length.
You must ensure you connect the identical cores as this may potentially
damage the components and the system will not work.
It is not necessary to use the receiver’s jack termination when you have cut the
cable. You can instead use the connection block’s black Phoenix connector.
Finding IR pickups
You may occasionally come across equipment without a visible IR pick up.
If this is the case, set up the system as described in the main instructions but
do not stick the emitter on that unit. Turn the IR kit on and fire a remote control
button (of a code you’ll see the unit respond to e.g. power on / off etc.) repeat-
edly at the IR receiver, but not allowing the remote control line of sight of the
source equipment. While doing this the emitter should be guided over the
front of the equipment until it responds to the relevant code. Once this is found
the emitter should be attached there.
