Using the Dual IR Emitters
Like the IR blaster of the RF Extender, the
dual IR emitters
send out IR signals.
You can use the dual IR emitters as an
alternative
for the IR blaster.
When to use the emitters
The IR emitters can control devices the IR blaster cannot reach, for instance when
there is limited space around the receiving eyes of the devices, e.g. in a small
closet.
Note
The IR emitters can also be used in
combination
with the IR blaster of the
RF Extender. Both send out IR signals simultaneously. This allows you to operate
several devices using both the IR blaster and the IR emitters.
How to use the emitters
The dual IR emitters can be attached to the surrounding surface facing the
receiving eyes or directly to the receiving eyes.
1 Attach the emitters to a surface above, below or in front of the
receiving eyes of your devices (for aesthetic appearance or when it is
difficult to locate the receiving eye).
– or –
Attach the emitters directly to the receiving eyes of your devices.
2 Plug the dual IR emitters into the RF Extender.
Note
To avoid interference, the wires of the emitters
should be kept away from the RF Extender as far
as possible.
Installation
Connecting the Power Adapter
When connecting the power adapter it is recommended
that you plug the adapter into the RF Extender before
you plug it into the socket. When connected you will
see a red LED on the RF Extender.
Note
To avoid interference, the adapter cable should be kept away from the
RF Extender as far as possible.
Settings
As the RF Extender ‘communicates’ with the Pronto Remote Control, you have to
set the same
Extender ID
(identity) on both appliances. The settings depend on
whether you have a single RF Extender or multiple RF Extenders.
Single RF Extender
When you use only one RF Extender, you can accept the default setting for the
Extender ID (ID=0). Make sure your Pronto Remote Control is set to the same
default setting (see the Pronto User Guide for more details).
Multiple RF Extenders
If you want to operate several of your devices independently, e.g. grouped on
different locations, you will need multiple RF Extenders. When using several
RF Extenders, it is important to assign a unique Extender ID to each RF Extender.
16 Extender IDs (from 0 to 9 and from A to F) can be assigned.
1 Choose an Extender ID for the RF Extender
by turning the ID dial with a small screwdriver.
2 On the Pronto Remote Control, choose the
same Extender ID for each device controlled
by the RF Extender.
Refer to the Pronto User Guide for more information.
3 Try to operate your devices with the Pronto
Remote Control.
The red LED will blink when the RF Extender receives a correct command.
4 Repeat this procedure for every RF Extender.
