Types of Controls for Nexus 21 Systems
All Nexus 21 Systems come standard with a wireless remote control and receiver. We offer a choice of two different types of remotes:
IR and RF (both of which are explained in detail below). Our standard control type is RF, so unless you specifically requested the IR
version when you made your purchase, you probably received the RF controls with this Mount System. The method of installation for
each type of remote control is slightly different, so you should now identify which type of remote you have by reading below, and
then follow the instructions for that type of remote.
NOTE: If you will be using the Mount with a home control system (like the ones made by companies such as Crestron or Control 4)
the most common form of control is to WIRE IT DIRECTLY to the relays of your home control system. This direct-wire method is called
Integration by Contact Closure , and is accomplished by using the Contact Closure Hardware that is supplied with the IR Control Kit to
connect the Mount to your home control system.
Before You Begin the Installation: Identify Your Control Type
IR (Infrared)
– This control option allows you to utilize a 3
rd
party universal style remote control to raise and lower the Mount.
Your universal remote will “learn” the IR codes from the provided IR Handset, which will enable you to control the mount. The
universal remote will then communicate with the “eye” located on the IR Receiver via your 3
rd
party emitter (or flasher). Instructions
for setting the Mount’s travel limit are on Page 19.
NOTE: If you are NOT planning on using a 3 rd party Universal Remote, switch to the RF setup. (There is no charge for swapping)
These are the parts included with IR controls:
Contact Closure Hardware IR Receiver IR Handset Height Limit Insert
RF (Radio Frequency)
-
This system utilizes a wireless remote control handset that sends a radio signal to the RF Receiver. The
radio signal can go through cabinet walls and does not require line-of-sight. Instructions for setting the Mount System travel limit are
on Page 19.
TIP: Planning to integrate the Mount with your UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL? The RF version of the Nexus 21 controls won’t do it. Switch to IR.
These are the parts included with RF controls:
Backup Switch RF Receiver RF Handset Height Limit Insert
Integration by Contact Closure
– To direct-wire the Mount controls to a home control system (Crestron, Control 4, AMX, etc.)
you will use the Contact Closure Hardware. You wo n’t use any Nexus 21 receiver or handset for this type of control because you will
use the handset or control pad that comes with your home control system. Instructions for setting up the System using Contact
Closure are on “ Page 22 ”.
