The IRZ6+ is a unique multi-zone IR
Main System Unit. In many ways it
is as if six IR Repeater Systems are
combined. The IRZ6+ controls
which of your audio/video compo-
nents will receive IR commands
from a remote sensor/keypad. Via
it’s configuration switches you may
control a particular component
from only one sensor/keypad or
you may choose to control a com-
ponent from any combination of
remote sensor/keypads throughout
the system.
This enables you to use multiple
identical preamps/receivers to cre-
ate a multiple-zone audio system
using identical IR commands with-
out any conflicts between users.
Each preamp/receiver with a
switched AC outlet can be equiped
with a 12v DC wall adapter. The
wall adapter plugs into the appropi-
ate status feedback signal to the
sensor/keypad for that zone only.
Additionally, IR commands to a
common source (e.g. a CD chang-
er) can be routed from any or all of
the zones.
The IRZ-6+ is one of several ele-
ments that make up an infrared
extender system:
1.
IR S e n s o r s
receive IR com-
mands from hand-held remote
controls and relay the commands
to the IR 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 eas-
ily concealable sensors: wall-mount,
ceiling-mount, surface-mount and
table-top. IR sensors are the “eyes”
of the system.
2.
Keypads
memorize IR commands
from hand-held remote controls and
reissue the commands to the IR
Main System Unit via a 2-conductor
shielded cable. Generally, keypads
are placed so that they are conve-
nient to doorways, telephones etc.
Keypads give you a remote control
you cannot misplace.
3. 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 configure, calibrate
and troubleshoot an IR extender
system. The Main System Unit is the
“heart” of an IR extender system.
4.
IR Expansion Units
enable you to
expand the number of sensor/key-
pads a Main System Unit will support.
5.
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).
The miniature “pin-point flasher is
the appropriate flasher to use with
the IRZ6+ since it incorporates a
blocking cover which prevents IR
commands from reaching other
components.
