How to Fine-Tune the Installation Using the Dip Switches
At the bottom of the Blaster unit, you find 5 dip switches (numbered 1-5). When
you use Dual IR emitters to send the IR signals to the audio/video devices,
configure the dip switches to:
■
Turn the IR blaster on or off (independently from the Dual IR emitters);
■
Configure the power levels of the Dual IR emitters, e.g.:
■
When you configure the Dual IR emitters in wired IR solutions using a
connecting block.
In this case, you can adjust the power levels of the Dual IR emitters.
■
When you use a device that interferes with IR signals, such as a plasma
TV set.
In this case, you can raise the power levels of the Dual IR emitters, since
plasma technology might cause IR interference.
■
When you want to operate 2 identical devices that are placed next to each
other using 2 RF Extenders.
In this case, you can lower the power levels of the Dual IR emitters, in
order to prevent the devices from receiving IR signals intended for another
device.

How to Set the Dual IR Emitter Power Levels
