Introduction:

 Thank you for your purchase of a Knoll IR10 

infrared receiver. This receiver features the ability to pick up a 
remote control infrared signal and relay it on wires to another 

location up to 1000’ (or more). 

 

Features: 

  

• 

Tabletop box design 
available in black and light 

grey colors. 

• 

Will relay almost all remote 

control types (except some 
B & O models). 

• 

Can be connected with 
almost any three-conductor 

wire including cat 5. 

• 

Requires very little power. Suggest using PS1202       
12 VDC 200 mA for up to 5 IR10s.  

• 

Up to 10 or IR10, IR21, IR22, IR23 and or IR25 can be 
connected in a single system. 

• 

Connects with a three wire connector or RJ45 via cat 5 
wire 

 

Installation Tips 

 
1. Follow all local electrical & building code requirements. 

 
2. The IR10 is usually mounted on a tabletop. For easy 

installation and to ensure reliability, it is suggested that a 
PS1202 (200 mA) or PS1205 (500 mA) 12 VDC unregulated 

power supply, IR31 (single) or IR34 (dual) emitters and one of 
the following: IR54 (decora inwall style, 4 output) or IR55  

(tabletop style, 4 output) connection block, are used.
