An infrared (IR) extender system
enables you to control your IR
remote controlled A/V equipment
from a remote location. This
enables you to place your A/V com-
ponents out of sight (behind cabi-
net doors, in the rear of a room, or
in a different room) and still conve-
niently control your equipment.
The model
IRP6+
is an IR Main
System Unit. It is one of three
e l e m e n t s t h a t m a k e u p a n
infrared extender system:
1.
IR Sensors
receive IR commands
from hand-held remote controls and
relay the commands to the Main
System Unit via a 2-conductor
shielded cable. Generally, sensors
are placed so that you can easily and
naturally point your remote control
directly at them. Niles offers an array
of easily concealable sensors: wall-
mount, ceiling-mount, surface-
mount and table-top. IR sensors are
the “eyes” of the system.
2. The
IR Main System Unit
pro-
vides a connection hub for the IR
sensors and the IR flashers and is
generally located near the A/V com-
ponents. The IR Main System Unit’s
level controls and LED indicators
enable you to calibrate and trou-
bleshoot an IR extender system. The
Main System Unit is the “heart” of
an IR extender system.
3.
Infrared Flashers
transmit the
infrared signals from the IR Main
System Unit to your A/V compo-
nents. Niles manufactures flooding
flashers (model IRC-1) and miniature
“pin-point” flashers (model IRC-2).

IRP6+
INFRARED EXTENDER SYSTEM—
IR MAIN SYSTEM UNIT
The IRP6+ offers a number of
improvements over other IR
Extender Main System Units:
•
Universal system — compatible
with virtually all brands of A/V
equipment and remote controls
(the only exceptions are those
brands using carrier frequencies
higher than 64kHz).
•
Exclusive Niles short-circuit protec-
tion provides for easy installation.
•
Accommodates six IR sensors or
keypads.
•
Provides four low-distortion, high-
current, variable-power Mosfet IR
Flasher outputs
•
Red "Power" L.E.D. enables you to
test for proper power supply oper-
ation and shorts b (posi-
tive) and GND (ground) on your
sensor connections.
•
Green "IR" Test L.E.D. enables you
to test for proper operation, inter-
ference, and for shorts b
and DATA on your sensor connec-
tions.
•
Built-in “Status” generator broad-
casts the amplifier “on/off” power
status over existing IR wiring to
provide power status display
when used with other Niles prod-
ucts like the IntelliPad that feature
status display LED’s.
• S
crew connectors simplify installa-
tion.
•
Printed circuit board design
assures high reliability.
•
Two year parts and labor warranty.
•
Proudly made in the USA.

Six remotely located IR Sensors are connected to an IRP6+. One IR Flasher, connected to the IRP6+, is transmitting an IR command
to the Receiver’s IR sensor. The IRP6+ enables you to connect up to eight Niles IRC-1 Flooding Flashers and up to sixteen Niles
IRC-2 MicroFlashers. The IRP-6+ is powered by plugging into an unswitched AC outlet.
