3. HOW DOES IT WORK?
HD RECORDER
SET-TOP BOX
SATELLITE
AUDIO SET
WALL
IR TRANSMITTER
IR RECEIVER
Point your remote control at the GigaControl450™ IR Receiver. The IR Receiver receives these
infrared signals, converts them into RF signals and sends them onto the GigaControl450™ IR
Transmitter. The IR Transmitter then converts these back into infrared signals and sends them
to your HDD-recorder, set-top box, satellite decoder, audio set, etc.
4. INSTALLATION
4.1 IR Receiver
1. Place the IR Receiver in the room/area from which you wish to operate your equipment.
2.
Point the front of the IR Receiver (with Marmitek logo) towards the point at which you want
to use the remote control (maximum 5 metres).
3. Pick a channel on the back of the IR Receiver (16 channels/frequencies available) using the
dip switches. Use a pen or other pointed object to do so.
4. Connect the Power Adapter to the IR Receiver and insert this into the mains socket.
4.2 IR Transmitter
5. Place the IR Transmitter in the room/area in which the A/V equipment you wish to operate
is located.
6. Point the front of the IR Transmitter (with Marmitek logo) towards the equipment you wish
to operate (maximum 4 metres).
7. Pick the same channel on the back of the IR Transmitter (16 channels/frequencies available)
as you chose on the IR Receiver, using the dip switches.
8. Connect the Power Adapter to the IR Transmitter and insert this into the socket.
4.3 Range between Transmitter and Receiver depends on:
• The number of floors and walls through which the signal has to travel and the materials used.
• Other 433 MHz sources such as wireless headphones or wireless speakers can significantly
limit the range of the GigaControl450™. The best result is obtained if these sources are
switched off when using the GigaControl450™. The GigaControl450™ works fine with
wireless telephones.
