Using the IR Transmitter 

You can use the 

RC-IR3

 IR transmitter to control the machine via the built-

in IR receiver on the front panel or, instead, via an optional external IR 
receiver

. The external IR receiver can be located 15 meters away from the 

machine. This distance can be extended to up to 60 meters when used with 
three extension cables

Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer 
dealer to insert the internal IR connection cable

 with the 3.5mm connector 

that fits into the REMOTE IR opening on the rear panel. Connect the 
external IR receiver to the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector.

5 Covered by a cap. The 3.5mm connector at the end of the internal IR connection cable fits through this opening 

6 Optional. Can be used instead of the front panel (built-in) IR receiver to remotely control the machine (only if the internal 

IR connection cable has been installed)
