Symptom #6:
Emitters function but some (or all) components do not respond.
Cause
Solution
1.
Emitter placement is incorrect.
Reposition the Emitter so that it is
directly over the components sensor
window. Consult the components
owners’ manual of the unit for the
exact location of the IR Sensor
Window.
2.
Emitter placement is correct but
the signal is overpowering the
unit or there is bleed-through
from other emitters close by.
Reposition the Emitter to a position
that is suitable for the unit. Use a
283 or 286D Blink style emitter (they
have a lower output than non-blink
emitters 282 and 284M). If the com-
ponents do not need to be controlled
directly without an IR Repeater
system (components are located in
an equipment closet), place a Mouse
Emitter Shield cover over the Emitter
(PN#MS1). The rounded (non-stick)
side of the emitter is a hi-output side
and can reflect off other devices and
overpower some components IR
Sensors. If using a CB12 connect-
ing block, try a 789-44 connecting
block. This has a series resistor at
the output, which will limit current to
the Emitter.
