Installing the infrared remote control option
The optional Stewart Filmscreen infrared remote control allows control of
the screens from anywhere in the room.
Note:
The distance between the hand-held remote control and the receiver
can be up to 50 feet / 15 m. It is necessary to have uninterrupted line-of-
sight between the remote and the receiver.
Preparing the connection
Before making the electrical connections, you need:
An available AC constant power source
A 4-conductor switch hook-up cable (4-conductor bell wire or
category 5 cable for long runs)
Cat 5, multi-conductor unshielded, or similar type electronic cable
can be used to connect the 3-button switch to the LVC. The
recommended wire gauge is 20 to 24 AWG. Use plenum-rated
cable when required.
Making the connection
Refer to the diagram that is located on the white label inside the steel
housing, and to Figure 9.
1. Follow the steps for installing the low-voltage 3-button switch
option on the previous page.
2. Mount the infrared (IR) eye sensor near the screen.
3. Connect the IR eye sensor to the small black plug in module
located next to the switch input on the circuit board.
